Clothes are important in our life. Different people wear 1 clothes. Now let's 2 some people talking about clothes.
Hello, my name is Betty. I started working this year, so I'm able to get new clothes more often 3 before. There are different people in my working place every day. If someone sees me in 4 once, I don't like to go out in it again. I like to wear bright colors and always dress up when I go to parties. I buy all kinds of clothes and I try to follow the latest way of 5.
Hi, I'm Jack. I don't have much to say about clothes. Shopping 6 clothes isn't really the way of life I'm interested in. Since I'm still at college, I don't really mind 7 I wear. I have two jackets and I often wear 8. I know little about the way of dressing. I don't like the serious look.
My name is Alice. I'd like to say that my clothes have to be comfortable and make me 9 easy as soon as I put them on. Sometimes I buy clothes in some small markets—they're less expensive there. I go shopping for clothes about once a month. If I see 10 and fit for me, I would maybe go for it there.
We often see people in different offices wear different clothes. In America, a businessman goes to work in a dark suit, with black shoes, socks and a tie. A reporter goes to work in old blue jeans, a work shirt and sneakers(运动鞋). These two kinds of clothes are suitable for their work.
If you are a college student who will leave school soon, before starting a job, you have to buy some new clothes. And you'd better have a look at “what everyone else is wearing” in the office. On certain(某种) kinds of business occasions men wear only suits with white shirts and dark ties. On others, men can wear jackets.
Dressing is very important. Without it, there is no successful fashion. It would be helpful if everyone looks at himself in the mirror before leaving home every morning.
One of the problems career people(上班族) have in the morning is dressing for the office when there will be an evening party immediately followed, with no time to return home to change. The easiest solution is to keep a full set of toiletries(洗漱用品) and make-ups stored somewhere at the office. A woman going to an evening party should dress in one of her “basic dresses” in the morning—the kind that can change into a different look with an added scarf or jewelry. In fifteen minutes, when her office day has ended, she can metamorphose (彻底变化) herself into another person with freshly cleaned teeth, combed hair, a new face, a different and dressier(漂亮的) pair of shoes, and some sparkling jewelry. If she must wear a long dress for the party, she should bring it to the office in a protective bag and store it safely until she has to put it on.
Most middle school students wear uniforms. Some students like uniforms, but ① don't. However, recently, a Japanese government survey(政府调查) shows that more students in Japan like uniforms now because ②school uniforms are more fashionable(时尚的) than they were before.
I surveyed some Japanese students about what they thought about school uniforms. I asked them, “Do you like fashionable uniforms?” There were lots of different opinions(观点, 看法).
Hiromi said, “I like school uniforms because I don't need to choose clothes every day. I think that fashionable uniforms are good. My high school uniform is fashionable, but there is a problem. Fashionable uniforms are too expensive.”
Miki said that she didn't like fashionable uniforms because she didn't want to ③ (在制服上花太多的钱). She thought that the uniforms should be changed(被改变). They should be cheaper and easier to get.
Mitsuaki said, “I don't like school uniforms because I want to look different. I also agree that fashionable uniforms make many students want to wear uniforms in high school. If students like fashionable uniforms, it is good. ”
