考研英语作文范文155篇(94)该不该相信第一印象

　　94. Some people trust their first impressions about a persons character because they believe these judgments are generally correct. Other people do not judge a persons character quickly because they believe first impressions are often wrong. Compare these two attitudes. Which attitude do you agree with? Support your choice with specific examples.

　　Any opinion is, in fact, a judgment. I feel that as Americans we would do well to judge others less often. Still, we must be able to decide whom to spend our time with and whom wed rather forget. In my opinion, this type of judgment is best after we get to know other people. First impressions are not always accurate impression.

　　Judging a person based on a first impression does save time. There are more people than anyone could possibly get to know in one lifetime. It is frustrating to waste time getting to know someone, only to find out that your first impression was correct and that you really dont like him or her. So is it a waste of time getting to know people your probably wont like? That seems to be a valid point of view, but I believe that it is not the best attitude to take.

　　Its more humane to spend time getting to know people before judging them. I know that I dont always make a good first impression even when I truly like the person with whom I am interacting. We all have bad days, I wouldnt want to lose a job or a potential friendship simply because I picked out the wrong clothing or said something wrong. I think everyone deserves the chances make a second impression.

　　If we all base our final opinion of others on first impression, it would be hard to get to know anyone. There is always more to people than meets the eye. If we dont give someone a chance, we may be missing out on meeting a life-long friend. That would truly be shame.
