the perfect body

A couple weeks ago I saw a project created by a UK online pharmacy on the internet called ” Perception or Perfection”. Designers from 18 different countries were asked to photoshop the same model,with the aim of evaluating the different standards and the definitions of "the ideal body“ from different countries.From the result, most of the people were shocked to see that the China designer from China photoshoped the model to an extremely thin body.

Some may say that the project is not close to reality. However,this project is like a mirror ,reflecting a social value of my country.

In my city , most of the people ,especially teenagers, struggle with their ‘unperfected body’ because we have been told by society that we have to be skinny and to thrive to have a body which has the  'ideal shape’.Every singer and actor have to be skinny in order to represent the "perfect image" to the media.It is very common to see the weight-loss advertisements posted in everywhere . People too can buy a variety of different types of diet pills in the drug stores.

Even when we are satisfied with our body, friends would still  joke about the fat around our waist ,and cousins asking us innocently why we seem to gain weight . When we see  Victoria’s Secret’s model  walking confidently on the stage , we have people professing their admiration.We will slowly lose our confidence with our body and become insecure.Consequently ,we will start to lose weight through every possible ways. This contributes to a society with eating disorder and negative physical self esteem . 

It becomes every women's nightmare.

So ,what's the perfect body type in your country? Are you satisfied with your own body?

Hi Thora, I'd just look at this one sentence:

Do you satisfied with your own body?

It should be :

Are you satisfied with your own body?

I think this is often a question: should I use the verb be/are or do?

One approach is this: use be for adjectives. 

Are you hungry?

Are you satisfied...?

Use be for nouns:

Are you an art student? 

Is this a Picasso?

Use be for the present progressive/continuous tense:

Are you writing a letter now?

Are you going to school tomorrow?

Do is the simple present tense.

Do you drink coffee in the mornings?

Does he study Cantonese?
