READING Task 1. Read the text and answer the questions. Clothes and Fashion Hi, I am Josh. Now I would like to share with my opinion about clothes and fashion. I think people have various attitudes to fashion. Some are indifferent and do not care what they wear. Others, mostly women, are very choosy about what clothes to wear and like to spend a lot of money on them. Most people buy ready-made clothes at clothes shops or second-hand shops, but there are those who like to have their clothes made at the tailor's. There are some people who dress to the latest fashion even if it does not suit them. It seems to be their hobby to follow the fashion magazines and see what leading designers present. The way we dress also depends on our taste, on the season and the proper occasion. In summer we usually wear light summer dresses, shorts and various T-shirts. The usual summer footwear is sandals and flip-flops. In winter people wear something warm trousers, jeans, cardigans and jumpers. People also wear anoraks, winter coats and jackets, sometimes even fur coats outside. On special occasions people usually dress up. When going to a concert or to the theatre, evening dresses and suits are appropriate. For sports people put on sportswear, such as sports trousers, jeans, shorts, T-shirts and trainers. The most popular types of clothes with teenagers are jeans or trousers, shirts and T- shirts of different colours, sweatshirts or pullovers and trainers. Boots and shoes of the "Converse" shoe company are very popular with the young people now. As for me, my favourite types of clothes are jeans, T-shirts and trainers. At my school pupils must wear a uniform, so I don't have a problem with what to put on when I go to school. When I go out, I prefer something comfortable like jeans and a sweatshirt. I try to follow the fashion, but fashionable clothes are rather expensive and since I haven't got a job yet, I have to ask my parents for pocket money. I usually buy clothes at a market and choose clothes similar to the ones that are in fashion at the moment. This saves money! Some people do not choose their clothes to the latest fashion. They wear what suits them, what is comfortable and what they can afford. Answer the questions in detail. 1. What attitudes do people have to fashion? 2. How does the season influence clothes? 3.
