Weird Butterfly Ceremony

課文：

Does meeting new people make you nervous? If so, you’re not alone. But making a good first impression isn’t as hard as you might think. It just involves a few simple choices.

Look your best

Obviously your appearance influences people’s impressions of you. But you don’t need to look like a model to make a good impression. You just need to take care of yourself.

Make sure your clothing is clean, not wrinkled and appropriate for the situation. One survey said blue or black are best for job interview. In professional situations, women should avoid flashy jewelry and thick makeup, which can be a distraction.

Don’t forget little things like brushing your teeth, washing your hair and trimming your nails. They change how people see you.
