Whether it’s for tests like University Entrance Exams or IELTS and TOEFL, or even just for fun, these pages help you to read, understand and improve your English. Beautiful ideals by Gary Boyle Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post Read the following story by Melanin Mahavongtrakul from the Bangkok Post. Then, answer the questions that follow. Despite criticism, beauty contests like Miss Universe have much to offer. LOOK FOR LOOKS Bringing a close to this year's beauty pageant season, Catriona Gray from the Philippines was recently crowned the 67th winner of Miss Universe, one of the biggest international pageants. The event was broadcast to millions worldwide who tuned in to cheer for their country's representatives and their favourite beauty queens. As a form of entertainment, beauty pageants have endured for decades. As their name suggests, they value one thing above all: beauty. At least, that was what they originally set out to do: look for the girl on stage with the best face, body, posture and manner, judged as they parade around in tiny swimsuits and gorgeous gowns. But is that still all there is to beauty pageants and their queens? In this fast-changing world, are beauty pageants still relevant or appropriate? Can they serve as a form of empowerment to women? ENTERTAINMENT OUTLET "It's entertainment, first of all. The world can be a stressful place and beauty pageants are one outlet that people can enjoy," said Chananporn Rosjan, a former beauty queen who represented Thailand at Miss Universe 2005. "At the same time, it's a platform for women to do something with their lives. For a woman to make a difference or speak out in this male-dominated society, sometimes that's not something they can just do outright. Beauty pageants are places where they can do that.” Chananporn's life and career came full circle this month when, as a pilot at AirAsia, she flew this year's Miss Universe contestants and 2017 winner Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters to Krabi. Chananporn recalled that her time in the pageant felt like a summer camp that passed by in a blur. Afterwards, she returned to her normal life and job, but newly equipped with the skills and experiences she acquired as a beauty queen. "One of the reasons why I entered the pageant was because I was quiet. I had no social skills. In a way, it was like I was forcing myself to speak more and interact with people better, to develop skills I was lacking. I still use what I've learned from the pageant. Being a pilot involves teamwork. Every day, the crew changes and I have to develop new relationships. I'm a captain, so I have a huge responsibility." Over the years, beauty pageants have been criticised for prizing women's looks while disregarding their other attributes. Chananporn shrugged off this idea. "Honestly, doesn't everyone in the world judge others based on appearances and first impressions?" she said. She believes that beauty pageants can indeed be empowering to women. This is certainly the direction some beauty pageants have been shifting towards in recent years. SUPER FAN Observing these changes for the last three decades or so has been Aishwarda Sirilaksana, a Miss Universe "super fan", who was a winning contestant on the Fan Pan Tae game show for her extensive knowledge of the pageant. She echoed Chananporn's opinion, saying that Miss Universe back in the 1960s and 1970s used to be someone who was exceptionally pretty but spoke little. But nowadays, contestants face interviews and tough questions on topics ranging from politics to social movements -- questions that could have been designed for politicians, she said. Women from all kinds of backgrounds have been among the contestants at the pageant. It reflects the diversity of women and serves as a reflection of society's changing mindset and growing equality. And this year marked quite a milestone for Miss Universe, as it welcomed the first transgender representative at the competition. "Women all possess beauty within them. If they have what it takes, anyone can be Miss Universe regardless of country, race or anything,” said Aishwarda. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So are the benefits of beauty pageants. As someone who started watching Miss Universe when she was young, Aishwarda said she learned a lot of things, such as language, culture and even how a woman should carry herself. Such is the potential role and relevance of beauty pageants in today's society, she said, for both women and general audiences.

  • Umum – Juara II – Dasasila Bandung #3
    Perkembangan Pola Pikir dan Kepribadian Wanita Asia-Afrika dalam Mewujudkan Kesetaraan melalui Ajang Miss Universe Oleh: Ulfah Mawaddah - Kategori Umum Berdasarkan Tema: Dasasila Bandung dan Relevansinya dengan Kehidupan Masa Kini Subtema: Mengakui persamaan derajat semua ras serta persamaan derajat semua negara besar dan kecil Pada 18 April 1955 Konferensi Asia Afrika (KAA) dibuka Presiden Soekarno di Gedung Merdeka, Bandung. Kini, Asia Afrika sudah memasuki 65 tahun. Pengalaman yang menimbulkan perasaan senasib dan sepenanggungan itu akhirnya melahirkan persatuan tindakan, yang berhasil mewujudkan solidaritas rakyat Asia dan Afrika yang lahir 65 tahun silam. Berdasarkan catatan sejarah Kementerian Luar Negeri RI, dikutip republika.co.id, Sabtu (18/4), diadakannya KAA tidak lain karena dilandasi oleh gagasan dari lima negara yakni Burma (Myanmar), India, Indonesia, Pakistan, dan Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Pertemuan ini melibatkan 24 negara lainnya dari Asia dan Afrika yang berlangsung selama sepekan (18-24 April 1955). Yang paling membanggakan, kini, setelah Arsip VOC, puisi kuno La Galigo, kitab Negarakertagama, dan Babad Diponegoro, kini giliran Arsip Konferensi Asia Afrika ditetapkan sebagai Warisan Ingatan Dunia (Memory of World). Berbicara mengenai Dasasila Bandung yang merupakan hasil kesepakatan dari dilangsungkannya Konferensi Asia-Afrika pada tahun 1955 tersebut, tentu tidak akan terlepas begitu saja dari isu-isu seputar kesetaraan gender yang bahkan masih diperjuangkan hingga sekarang. Tidak sedikit pula wanita di Indonesia, bahkan di Asia dan Afrika sekalipun, yang belum mendapatkan hak mereka yang seutuhnya. Sebagian dari mereka masih terjebak dalam pusaran human trafficking, 1 rasisme, peperangan tak berkesudahan, dan masih banyak lagi hambatan dalam mencapai title sebagai manusia merdeka. Puluhan tahun berselang sejak diselenggarakannya KAA, persoalan pelik semacam itu masih belum dapat terselesaikan secara holistik.
