An Elegant Spirit
She is the synonyms for elegance, she is the scale between beauty and purity, and is the symbol that combines grace with fashion. She made people give in her fascinated glamour. Whoever men or women, we all admire her for her attractive charming. She is the fallen angel of human’s world, even the God cannot help to kiss her cheek. She is peerless phoenix. That is Audrey Hepburn.
Audrey Hepburn, one of the most influential Hollywood stars, and her splendid beauty gives people limitless imagine about her legendary life. Like an old saying “Life is a movie” , but Hepburn from a ordinary ballet dancer to an actor, then from a musical actor to a brilliant movie star that her whole life along with movie. Her life is plentiful, her debut and curtain call are almost perfect so that people cherish the memory of her. However, people are impressed most is her elegant spirit, including her irreplaceable style, elegant behavior, and her noble moral quality. I am touched deeply by her elegance and gracious quality.
I consider that Hepburn is the classic English, because she has noble elegant manners, and eternal beauty. Maybe it is related to her noble family, she is the daughter of duke. Her noble family endowed with her demure disposition. It is no doubt that the solemn is one of English characters. According to the English Traits, written by prominent American writer Emerson. He mentioned that the solemn and reserved character of British could manifest their aristocratic status. Therefore, it made Hepburn permeate a kind of dignified temperament. Whatever points of view to know Hepburn, you could get a feeling of sedate personality. That is her glamorous elegance, enchant me.
On the other hand, her elegance is bound up with fashion. So far as she is always a model of fashion and elegance. It dated back to her movies, such as Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and A Fair Lady. Her smart black short hair, black succinct dress with pearl necklace, her classical black round sunglasses, and her delicate liberihattu become the “Hepburn Style”. It is dominant in the fashionable world lead people to imitate her for a few centuries. She is the No.1 of vote of fashion celebrities in Vogue. Even she was nominated one of the most beautiful women in the history by Elle at the
same year in 2004. No one can beyond compare her beauty. The Elle said that she was fallen angle, and her beauty was unique. I can’t more agree it. Moreover, people are influenced by her beauty and elegance. Some women who admire Hepburn make up mind to lose weight. Besides, Hepburn promoted the cutting business because of the “Hepburn’s Hair”. Absolutely, Hepburn boosted the development of film industry. At that time, I would say wherever you go, whatever you do, this is Audrey Hepburn.
Her honorable quality is her kindness. She is kind to friends, sons, especially to the children. Her kindness has an effect on people that no one could say something behind her. She had ever won the Oscar prize of three times, but she was never proud of her achievement. By contrast, she was low-pitched and modest like before, even work harder than before in her career. Once, she extended her sincerest gratitude to her friends who care and help her in Hollywood career. The reason why she did that was she got acquainted with many friends there. And she earned people’s respect and support. One cannot think of Hepburn’s friendship without thinking of Givenchy, the brilliant costume designer, nor thinking of famous movie director without Spielberg. As we all know that Givenchy and Spielberg are both distinguished in his own field internationally. However, they are fascinated by elegant Hepburn. She kept the longest cooperation relationship with Givenchy, and got perpetual friendship. She also had an important position of famous director Spielberg.
She is one of the most favorable Hollywood stars in his heart. Clearly, Hepburn’s elegance made people comfortable in life that she is always giving wonderful aspect in people’s mind. Just like her close friend Richard Dreyfus said that she has been the most wonderful superiority, she perfectly sent out her charming, she perfectly planted love seed; she was a sweet dream, you still smiling when you wake up. Why call her fallen angel of human’s world? As a goodwill ambassador of United Nations Children’s Fund, she was not afraid of hard work to help those poor, unhealthy and disabled children in the developing countries.
Her elegance is close to her dressing. I’m highly approved that idea about dressing of Hepburn. She admired concise style in her dressing instead of luxuries. Givenchy said that the more concise of dressing, the more better for Hepburn. On the
other hand, I also worship her attitude about fashion that she could not follow fashion trend, but the fashion would be decorations.
As far as I am concerned, nowadays most girls want to be fashionable that they are blindly following fashion spending money generously. And the money cannot belong to them, but their parents. Those girls are keen on premium brands, such as Louis Vuitton, Burberry, and Calvin Klein and so on… Just because they believe that contemporary dressing is incomparable. And it could show her elegant flavor. Even worse, some girls make use of it to flaunt their luxuries and boast their wealth. Besides, young children intentionally cutting a hole in their jeans, and they are most likely to wave the “bomb hair”. They think they are popular, fashionable and beautiful. Conversely, they look weird and funny. It is a severe phenomenon, but it becomes common immediately in society that more young people are inclined to follow them. I am shamed of them, and they should be condemned and corrected right away. Hepburn had set a good example for us, we could learn from it. The purpose of fashion could not be attractive to attention, but show the charm of style, the style of elegance,
In my opinion, I seem simplicity as a standard of beauty for girls. We are young, and we born with our unique beauty. I’ve heard a poem that “natural beauty of hibiscus rising out of clear water.” It is the truth, and I am fully confident of it is the best description of elegance of Audrey Hepburn. We don’t have to buy luxuries, to make change, and to intimate someone. Therefore, we needn’t pursue excessively fashion in our life. Fashion cannot produce beauty, only your real elegance.
Meanwhile, the essence of her attractive elegance is her manner. She ever had revealed the magic code of keeping beauty forever. However, what I grasp is her real reflection of her elegant manner. She said that your charming lips lies in kind words, your lovely eyes consists in seeing other’s advantages, your slender figure rests with sharing foods with hungry people; your beautiful hair because children’s fingers through it, elegant manners derived from knowledge and along with it; please remember, if you need help, please be good at using your hands now; as time passes, you can find out that you have two hands, one helping yourself , the other helping
others; your wonderful precious times of the past still in the front on your way, I hope that you could have it! Every time I read it, I’ve always been moving by her words. I get benefit a lot from her. Just because of her, I could understand what beauty is, what real elegant manner is, and what fair lady is. I get answers from her, and I appreciate her forever with my sincerest admiration, respect, and affection.
Finally, the reason why I choose Audrey Hepburn as my theme of my paper is that Audrey Hepburn is the most appropriate personage to show distinct elegant charm of women. Absolutely, she is one of the most splendid actresses in the movie industry. As a matter of the fact, most girls are increasingly paying no attention to their manners in modern society. Sometimes, you could encounter that a beauty talked dirty with others in public and a flock of girls dress with grotesque. I expect people to realize its side-effect especially girls would regain her innate innocence. My favorite actor, Audrey Hepburn, a beautiful angle fallen in human’s world, after experienced all glories and pains, brandished her wings, then brought her eternal visage, left love and warm that people feel deeply regret and attaching. Her purity, beauty, elegant is perpetual memory in people’s mind.
Indeed, although we cannot see the God with our own eyes, we’ve met the angle. She is an elegant spirit, Audrey Hepburn.

My feeling for this course Never have I known so much about society and culture of English-speaking countries before I took up this course.Through the process,I got pleasure,companionship,experience and instruction.Actually I was so looking forward to having the lesson at the first time that I had got the syllabus.Now I know,it’s definitely worthwhile. Our teacher once told us,“Reading is the most effective way for one who could not go through the country but still eager to learn about their culture.”I can’t agree more with it.Maybe the past will step out from the stage of history,nevertheless,books have the ability to record the fact that exactly happened in the history.I proved it on my own experience,believe it or not. For example,Animal Farm is a political fable style novel.The story describes an "animal" revolution brewing,rising up and final transformation.Suffered enough oppression,the animals in the Manor Farm rebelled against humans under the guidance of pigs,drove the planter,Mr. Jones.The animals achieved their ambition of "self-determination" and changed its name to "Animal Farm",pursuing that "all animals are equal".But soon the leading pigs had contravention.Since then,it turned out that one pig,Napoleon had more and more power and special treatment,gradually moving away from other animals,and eventually became an exploiter exactly the same as a human being.Thus,the name,animal farm,was also abandoned. This book is analyzed by critics that it’s strikingly similar to the history of the Soviet union,even the international communist movement in the whole 20th century.We can see the similar shadow in many communist party ruling or did rule countries of animal farm.The author,George Orwell,his predication on the fate of the communist movement in the future by changes of the development of animal farm in the book,confirmed totally by history that the Soviet union took apart and the upheaval of eastern Europe in 1991 and afterwards incidents,which really took place at that time.But the meaning of Animal Farm is more than just the historical prophecy.This allegorical novel pointed out in literary language that owing to the fundamental interests of the leading group who possessed the division right was to hold their dominant position,regardless of the form having what kind of appeal,the ultimate result would be contrary to maintain the basic demands of social fairness.Professor Xia Zhiqing once said: "In western literature,since the Aesop's Fables, each dynasty has fables and fairy tales focusing on animals.However,for readers in the late 20th century,this kind of work is not a more accurate representation of the human condition today than" Animal Farm "." While t he novel Being There tells us a story about a man named Chance, a gardener. Chance once lived in the townhouse of an old, wealthy man in Washington, D.C.watching TV all day until the man was dead.Then he was forced to face the world.He met Benjamin Rand,a wealthy businessman.While being asked what his name was, instead of "Chance the Gardener" (which was
