Key to the writing

Some students think it’s good to change the items. Putting too much emphasis upon modesty and simplicity will mean you will never be noticed by others. You might hesitate and lose many chances. In modern society, it is important to show yourself to others. Confidence and good appearance help you make a good impression. So everyone should be confident and take the chance to show off their ability. Some other students don’t agree with it. Students should learn to live a simple life. Because they depend on their parents for food and clothing. They should also spend more time on their studies. As a student, studying is more important than the clothes that he wears. As for modesty, an old Chinese saying reads, “ Pride goes before a fall.” It tells us that if we are to be successful, we must learn to be modest first. Being modest will help us learn more.
