『范文』
It seems that people do sometimes behave differently when they wear different clothes. For example, a
well-dressed man seldom spits at random, a woman in glorious dresses is more likely to talk in a gentle tone, and a
clean dressed child seems quiet than others. It might be explained that different dresses give people different
self-images, and most people subconsciously behave according to their own self-images. Equally sensible is
another factor, that is, all too often people regard a person differently according to his/her dresses. Therefore,
people might behave differently when they wear different clothes because they are treated differently.
Also, appropriate dresses do help a lot in certain circumstances. It is not difficult to imagine that a doctor
with a casual suit instead of his/her formal one will certainly make his/her patients nervous, for doctors in
working hours are always supposed to be in white suits. An applicant in his/her first interview will be naturally
accompanied with great mental tension. If he/she was well-dressed, by "well" we do not mean expensively or
gloriously, we mean "neatly", he/she would appear more self-confident and or even be self-confident in deed.
However, merely a suit in itself can contribute little. In fact, people's behaviors inevitably reflect their very
nature. A poor gentleman dressed in rags is still a gentleman. He knows the essential principles that a civilized
individual must observe, he knows fundamental moral disciplines which an educated individual must follow. A
parvenu on the other hand, will finally find out the fact that his exorbitantly dear dresses is of no use to make
himself a gentleman, and he even eventually fail to make him look like a gentleman. Maybe those are right who
said it takes at least three generations to cultivate a gentleman.
In a word, I do not believe that clothes can essentially make people different, even though they might
sometimes seemingly do.
