Is Appearance really Important?

Is Appearance really Important?  
  Do you dress up yourself in front of a mirror for an hour every time before throwing a bag of rubbish? Do you make up yourself just because you are going to a convenient store situated within thirty seconds' walk from your home? If you do so, don't be ashamed! Appearance is of importance to lots of people; even the indigenous people in Taiwan in time immemorial used accessories to make them look better. 
  As a saying goes,'' First impressions are half the battle.'' As far as I'm concerned, having a good appearance when you meet someone first time is more significant than other situations. What's more, there's a research from British showing that when a person considers how the other person is, the appearance, which takes 42%, plays a vital role of first impressions; however, the personality, which we originally think changing others perspectives more, only takes 7%. Therefore, some go out with make-up to let themselves look more befitting or pretty in that that might be the first impression for others.
  Nevertheless, on the other contrary, a well- known master respected by Taiwanese entertains a different opinion. ''What you thought will reveal to your appearance,'' she said. This is another angle to look at this issue.
  To sum up, having a good appearance may be necessary, but meanwhile, don't forget to nourish  your mind. Despite the fact that making up yourself can be a good way to increase your score in first impression, I agree more the line in the movie called The Devil Wears Prada: A girl only need to wear two things to look great: confidence and a smile.

  1. 有幾個地方不知道對不對:
    1....having a good appearance when you meet someone first time is more significant than other situations. (line 7) 我想表達的是:在你和某人初次見面時,好的外表會比較重要,比起其他時候(有好的外表)。(為什麼我覺得我的中文好像也有問題...)
    2....when a person considers how the other person is...(line 8)「對方」可以翻成「the other person」嗎?
    3....that might be the first impression for others.(line 12) 別人「對」你的第一印象是用for嗎?
    4. I agree more the line in the movie called The Devil Wears Prada: A girl only need to...(line 19) 在這裡可以用冒號嗎?
