  1. In my opinion, this sentence mean that the beauty is just a superficial thing. A person can be beautiful on the outside and bad on the inside.

    1. Ammm I am not sure about that. I think even in the business the beauty face or body is not important because may be this people do very nice work than who are handsome or good looking.

  4. I think the expression means the beauty just in apparent. I totally disagree with it because I believe that many people are not beautiful, but they have a good behavior with people and high sense to help poor people, animal, and handicaps.

  5. The expression "beauty is only skin deep", in my opinion means that a person's character or personality is more important than their outsider appearance. I agree that the beauty is not everything in life; however, I think that people´s image must not be disregarded.

  6. ّI think it means that the beauty is only physical, and I disagree with this expression because we have other expression in Arabic "inner beauty is a mirror of outer beauty"
