i agree. there's a 40 year old japanese woman in my office but she looks and acts like a 25 year old american girl.

The amount of sun a person receives during their lifetime plays a huge role as far as looks are concerned. You know all those girls who got to tanning salons? Wait about 15 years and they'll be so damn wrinkled that you'll think you're staring at a Sharpe. Don't get me wrong, I love a good tan but sometimes things get a little overboard. Also, smoking cigarettes over a large period of time will effect your appearance.

Pardon my french, but shouldn't you say graceful and not gracefully?

"this duck is graceful"
"roseanne gracefully pulled up her skirt"

??

jane has a graceful walk.
jane walks gracefully.

in this sense, age is a verb so you must conjugate graceful as an adverb.

"Gracefully" is an adverb. Adverbs modify verbs. In this case, "gracefully" is modifying the verb "age" ("How is she aging? She is aging gracefully."), so it is the correct usage.
