B speak up Are you fashion-conscious?

B2 give a report to your class. Tell them how much you are interested in Fashion and then give examples with the help of your answers.

I’m not very interested in fashion. My parents spend around 1,000 yuan on clothes for me every year. They usually choose the clothes themselves. When my parents take me shopping for clothes, they often look for comfortable clothes at reasonable prices. I don’t enjoy shopping for clothes, but I have to do it once or twice a year. I never judge people by their clothes. An individual’s personality is far more important than what he or she wears.

A2 use the sentences you wrote in A1 to write a paragraph about the difference Between traditional and modern clothing. Modern clothing is different to Traditional clothing in many ways……

Modern clothing is different to traditional clothing in many ways. Compared to traditional clothing, modern clothing is less colourful. Also, people don’t like complicated patterns or symbols on their clothes any more, so modern clothes are quite plain compared to traditional ones. Another difference is in how the clothes fit. In contrast to the rather tight clothes we wear today, traditional clothes are much looser.

This means that they are much more comfortable to wear. Finally, traditional clothes were often used to show one’s place in society. Modern clothes, on the other hand, are chosen according to fashion and do not usually show our social status.
