Today we started our work by finishing the basic error worksheet (that one with our own mistakes).
Then, we made the exercises 1, 2 and 3 (page 30) of our course book. These exercises were about the text “Imagined Ugly Syndrome” in the same page.
This text showed us how pretty women can feel so badly with themselves, with their body; because they feel they are ugly.
Forward, this took us to another level: Eating disorders. A problem that are affecting most of the time young people but that in particular cases can affect people who are a little bit older. Like those celebrities in the text (Uma Thurman, Geri Halliwel or Winona Ryder). They are beautiful and are having a great career. What takes us, again, to another level: The pression of paparazzi. They are everywhere, and this can explain the fear of look bad in their cameras perspective. After walls the photos will certainly appear in a magazine and the public eyes are very critical.
When we where almost finishing the class, David gave us a text and asked us to read it in load voice. The title was “Little miss perfect” and talked about Nazanin Afshin-Jam (“she’s a Miss World finalist, a pop star and a human-rights campaigner...”).
That’s all (I think).

in the summary i think it should be after all instead of after walls, and loud instead of load, sorry for being correcting...
Line 8 - "Afterwards" instead of "Forward"
Line 8/9 - "A problem that IS affecting"
Line 13 - not "pression" but "pressure"
Line 14 - "the fear of lookING bad"
Line 17 - "were" instead of "where"
Line 18 - "read it out loud"...
:D
