Перевод задания: Прочитайте статью с сайта www.ditchthelabel.org и сопоставьте ответы с вопросами.

1. f — “No, they are telling you that because they are scared that they aren’t good enough and may feel ugly themselves.” (Нет, они говорят так, потому что боятся, что недостаточно хороши, и сами могут считать себя некрасивыми.)
2. e — “No, when we compare ourselves, we always end up feeling worse, so stop comparing. Even identical twins look slightly different. It doesn’t mean someone is more or less beautiful.” (Нет. Когда мы сравниваем себя с другими, нам становится хуже, поэтому перестаньте сравнивать. Даже однояйцевые близнецы немного отличаются друг от друга. Это не значит, что кто-то красивее или менее красив.)
3. a — “No, your body is just changing and you are still growing into it.” (Нет, твоё тело просто меняется, и ты всё ещё растёшь.)
4. d — “No, having bad skin is totally normal at your age and it does not make you less handsome.” (Нет, в твоём возрасте проблемы с кожей совершенно обычны и не делают тебя менее привлекательным.)
5. c — “No, your weight is how much your body weighs. Every object, mineral, plant or animal on this planet has a weight. There is no such thing as a ‘beautiful weight’ or an ‘ugly weight’. There is a healthy weight and that is different for everyone. In fact, you can google hundreds of beautiful large size models, singers and actors.” (Нет, вес — это то, сколько весит твоё тело. Любой предмет, минерал, растение или животное на этой планете имеет вес. Не существует «красивого» или «некрасивого» веса. Существует здоровый вес, и он у всех разный. Можно найти в интернете сотни красивых моделей plus-size, певцов и актёров.)
6. b — “No, it’s OK to not look like a model. In fact, many top models thought they looked ugly at school. Read their interviews.” (Нет, совершенно нормально не быть похожим на модель. На самом деле многие известные модели считали себя некрасивыми в школе. Прочитай их интервью.)

Ответ: 1 — f, 2 — e, 3 — a, 4 — d, 5 — c, 6 — b.
