Describe your favourite piece of clothing
You should say:
- -What it looks like
- -How often you wear it
- -How you got it
- -Why it is your favourite piece of clothing
- I have a large collection of clothes which I like. Here I would like to talk about a piece of clothes which I wear day and day out. That is a pair of jeans which my mother gave me on my birthday last year.
- It is an amazing pair of skinny jeans, you have to fight some to put on, but the torment is forgotten as soon as you see yourself in the mirror.
- These are dark wash blue jeans with sanding. One might think there was nothing special about them as they are stripped of all details which could justify the really high price.
- I mean there are neither zippers nor welts. But I like them a lot as they elongate the line of my legs and feel like a second skin.
- They are perfect because I can match them with anything, be it formal, casual, street style or even corporate.
- There is a crazy story behind them, I will never ever forget. Once I saw them in a shop window of a High-street shop and immediately fell for them.
- However, I didn’t dare to go and try them on because everyone knows this shop is for people with deep pocket.
- Several days later my mother and I were passing by this shop window. She noticed the way I looked at the jeans and asked me whether I wanted to pop in and try them on.
- I tried to pretend not to be in the mood for shopping, but she insisted and we entered the shop. I looked at the price tag, understood they cost a fortune and made my mother quickly leave the shop.
- However, I couldn’t help thinking about these jeans. One day I realized that I had to buy them no matter what. Then I borrowed 3000 rupees from my friend and couldn’t wait to purchase them.
- Much to my disappointment, when I came to the shop, I was told that the jeans had been sold a few days before. I was upset, but I had to put up with this fact somehow.
- Gradually I stopped thinking about them. Several weeks later, on my birthday I found a gift box near my bed.
- Guess what was inside! Those jeans! It was my mother who bought them and prepared a surprise which definitely was a success.
- I also get lots of compliments from my friends whenever I wear it, which is always a good confidence boost.
- The only thing that makes me upset is that I realize that one day they will wear out and I will have to stop wearing them.

- I’m going to describe a coat that I often wear at the moment. The coat is dark blue in color, and it’s made out of a lightweight, waterproof material, which makes it perfect for wearing.
- It also has a detachable hood, which I use when it rains, and it has various pockets on the outside and on the inside.
- I bought the coat last year at the beginning of autumn when the weather started to get colder. It was easy to buy because I had the exact same coat before; my old coat was starting to look a bit worn out, so I decided to buy a new version.
- As I knew which size I needed, I simply went online and found the best offer; I bought it through a shopping website, and it was delivered to my house a few days later.
- My coat isn’t new. In fact, it’s quite old. The great thing about it is that I can wear it with anything. As I said, I’m like wearing this coat a lot.
- It’s my everyday coat during cold weather for going to work or for when I go out shopping or for any other reason.
- The reason why I like this coat is that it’s so practical and functional.
- It’s waterproof and it keeps me warm, but it also comes in handy for carrying things like my phone, wallet, loose change, a pen, and even a notebook; I tend to fill my pockets with whatever I can.
- It even folds up small enough to fit in my bag when I don’t need it. I also get lots of compliments from my friends whenever I wear it, which is always a good confidence boost.

Clothes
- What kind of clothes do people wear after work?
Well, to my mind, it depends on where people spend their time after work. If the first go to the gym or play tennis and then meet friends for a cup of tea or just to have a chat, they can have jogging suits or warm-ups or any other active casual clothes on. If they plan to have an informal dinner with friends in some upscale restaurant, then girls can put on some turtleneck, skinny jeans and a fashionable belt as well as flats or mid-heel shoes, while men can put on some long-sleeve shirt and dress trousers with a tripped belt and Leather loafers. If they spend time at home, the prefer to wear loose clothes in which they feel comfortable.

(According to you)
- What kind of clothes should people wear at work?
I guess it depends on the position they hold and company the work for. In some companies employees are allowed to dress freely or casually for comfort, which mostly works in a creative work environment. However, companies in which employees continuously deal with clients and business partners, as a rule, need a dress code to maintain a work-related image. If a person holds a top level position he should wear so called boardroom attire. It is a tailored suit in a solid neutral colour with a white coloured button up shirt and a modest time for men.
- Do you think students need to wear School uniforms?
I would definitely say, yes, because there are really a lot of pros for wearing School uniforms. The most important of them, to my mind, is the fact that students feel more work-related and identify themselves as a part of some community when they have school uniforms on. As a result, it builds up a sense of school spirit and develops stronger team morale among students. Moreover, students are free to concentrate on lessons rather than on fashion in the classroom at the same time relieving parents from the necessity to buy clothes for everyday wear.
- Where do people in your country buy clothes?
It seems to me that people in my country buy clothes everywhere where they can find bargains. These can be shops, department stores, outlets, markets and even boutiques where people look for something special and branded. But it’s becoming more and more popular to buy clothes in online shops because online shopping does not only lessen people’s expenses but also gives them more time to spend with the family. Moreover, shopping online is really convenient, because it’s much easier to trek from site to site than from floor to floor having a wide range of clothing choices to select from and a chance to compare prices of the same or similar products that are of interest.
