Hi
We have been talking about reading in the last week. Here is an interesting expression and concept: Never Judge a Book by its Cover. Do you understand it? It means never look only at the outside of a person or thing, look on the inside, too. In particular, don't judge a person by how they look, wait and discover the person before you make an opinion.
Here is a famous recent example from a British TV show called 'Britain's Got Talent' which is like 'American Idol':
I am sorry I couldn't get a better clip of this, but most of the clips aren't embeddable. if you want to see more about this story, type 'Susan Boyle' into Youtube.
So, you can see that this lady looked middle-aged, unfashionable and crazy, and the people thought she was going to sing badly and do crazy stuff - but, when she started to sing, everyone was amazed. So, that's a lesson for life: Never Judge a Book (or anything else) by its Cover (or outside, or external view).
