Fashion

It would be a boring society if everyone wore shoes and clothes of the same style and color, had the same hairstyle, and carried the same bags. 如果每个人穿着同一个款式和颜色的衣服和鞋子，梳同样的发型，手里提着同样的包，那将是一个枯燥乏味的社会。

If you don’t keep up with the fashion, you cannot communicate with your friends well. 如果你跟不上流行的脚步，你就不能和你的朋友进行很好的交流。

1. Who is the most fashionable boy/girl around you? Well, my friend Amy is the most fashionable girl around me because she is excellent in many aspects. It is very cool of her to be the topped student in my school. What’s more, she can do very well in many competitions. 2. In your class, do you prefer talking about clothes or study? Why?

We prefer talking about new computer games and new toys. Most of my classmates are crazy about games instead of study or clothes. Because it is always boring to talk about study and we don’t care about clothes.

It’s hard to not go after fashion. If all other kids play new computer games, how can I still play Barbie doll alone. However, it’s expensive to go after fashion, because you always need to buy new things. My point is, we can go after fashion, but don’t spend too much money on it.
