                       Response to “Why woman smile”

“Why women smile” is an article which explains why people smile in some situations, the effects of the smile and the history of women’s smile. Author takes herself as an example at first, people who know her well can get the right information behind her smiles and even know her moods change as her smiles change. This example teaches reader that the information you get from one’s facial expression like smile is not always right. People even can hide their true emotions by changing the way they smile.

Author also talks about the reason why we smile. People started to smile from baby. People always smile for some reasons, like babies smile in reaction to tickling feeding. And the fight attendances, who are always female, smile to contain customers. Other than this, the history of women’s smile lead to the way we smile today.

  Women are not allowed to smile in 15^th century, women always had a serious face in the paintings that time. After that, the limits began to loosen. There are more facial expressions in women’s faces. In the 1800s, women’s smiling faces began to appear in some ads. And since that time, smile became a “fake” expression gradually. Author hates fake smiles, and so do I. I think smile is a perfect way to show one’s happiness and kindness to others. If everyone try to hide their true emotions under smiles, it would be harder for people to communicate.
