The translation of the fifth exercise after class in Area A is as follows:
For most people, beauty and fashion are inseparable. When it comes to fashion, Barbie is always ahead of the times. Mattel has been paying great attention to the dress details of products since the first Barbie doll came out. Since 1959, many people have found that Barbie has been following the trend. However, some critics think that Barbie's figure does not really reflect the average figure of women, and they also complain about the size of dolls. Some people even accused that the doll's figure completely exceeded women's expectations.
Charlotte Johnson, the first Barbie fashion designer, explained that Barbie's figure is not to reflect the real female figure, but to make clothes stand out under the exaggerated figure. However, despite her charming appearance and enviable figure, her unrealistic three-dimensional figures have been criticized.
Cathy Meredig, a "doll with strong self-esteem" (possibly the name of an organization or company), optimized a more realistic and proportional doll in 199 1. However, the doll she designed didn't sell well.
After so many years, although Barbie has many competitors, none is more attractive than Barbie.
