Tomoko: 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 labelsor anything like that … she doesn't seem too concerned aboutkeeping
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-style questions

Examiner: What factors do you think affect the clothes we choose to wear?
Maki: 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 …

Examiner: What kind of things determine what is in fashion and what we should be
wearing?
Martin: I suppose the big fashion houses and fashion showsmust 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 …

Examiner: Is it possible to look good without spending lots of money on clothes?
Corinna: I'm sure it is … yes … I suppose it's about having an eye for what looks good
… knowing how to mix and matchdifferent 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 …
