12.Do you think different types of people like different colours?

My favourite colour is blue, it is the colour of depth and stability. Blue symbolises wisdom,
confidence and intelligence. And I don't like the pink because it is too girly.
I suppose so. You know, different colour conveys different meaning to people. Red represents
passion and enthusiasm while green means energetic. So I always choose the suitable colours
for things.
Well, yes, I have several clothes in blue, which can bring calm and tranquil feelings to me. I
believe that blue is always fashionable in men's outfit.
If I were to choose between the two, I'll probably go with dark because I believe dark
represents stability and wisdom, for example I always choose the dark outfit in my office to
highlight my profession, whereas light suits juvenile better.
Yes, there are many colours that have special meaning in my country such as black, whichwould
make people think of mystery. Also like red, it means lucky and good fortune in China, when it
is New Year, people like to wear red clothes, set red firecrackers and give red pocket money to
children.
I would like to paint my walls in light yellow or light blue because light colours convey warm
and calm to me which should be suitable for household.
Yes, I believe different people have different psychological demand for colours. Some need
peace of mind, whereas others may feel like energetic and rebellious.

I’d like to talk about one of my teachers ... Miss Evans ... she teaches us English in the school I
go to ... we always look forward to seeing what she’s going to wear when our lessons start ...
she’s always very well dressed and takes a lot of pride in her appearance ... it’s not that she
dresses in very smart clothes ... she doesn’t come to school dressed to kill or anything like
that ... but what she wears really suits her ... and she has a great sense of style as well ... we
often ask her where she gets some of her clothes and most of the time they’re just off the peg
... and she says she’s not interested in designer labels or anything like that ... she doesn’t seem
too concerned about keeping up with the latest fashion ... she just wears clothes that are
timeless... yes ... Miss Evans is the person I think looks great in the clothes she wears

Part 3

1. What factors do you think affect the clothes we choose to wear?


 
It depends ... where we are or where we’re going is a big factor ... if you are going out to a club
or party you’re going to dress for the occasion ... and then there are those who think it’s
important to look like they’re on trend ... they’ll want to wear the latest fashions ... there are
lots of factors really ...

2. What kind of things determine what is in fashion and what we should be wearing?

I suppose the big fashion houses and fashion shows must have an effect but the clothes you see
on the catwalk don’t always reflect what normal people wear ... so I suppose it will be things
like what singers are wearing in videos or models are wearing in magazines ... that kind of thing.
 
3. Is it possible to look good without spending lots of money on clothes?

4
I’m sure it is ... yes ... I suppose it’s about having an eye for what looks good ... knowing how to
mix and match different items of clothing that go well together ... I think you can pick up great
bargains in charity shops ... sometimes for youngsters even hand-me-downs can look good ...
