You are going to give a talk about fashion. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10—12 sentences).

Remember to say:

● why fashion is so important for teenagers;

● what and who determines fashion trends for teenagers;

● what clothes are popular in your country;

● what your attitude to fashion is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I am going to give a talk about fashion. It’s a very interesting topic to talk about.

* In my opinion, fashion is important for teenagers because they want to stand out among their friends. Girls follow fashion more than boys. They try to keep up with the latest changes in clothes, hairstyle, manicure, makeup, and accessories. Boys also try to dress up and look cool. As history of humankind says it has always been the case at all times. That’s the way it goes.

* To tell the truth, nowadays celebrities, bloggers, movie stars, and opinion leaders determine fashion trends for teenagers and even adults. the Internet enables us to get any information almost immediately. So any new features catch on among teens quickly.

* You know traditional clothing of past centuries remains only in museums. Nowadays, people in my country wear clothes that most people in other countries wear. It should be comfortable and of good quality. Formal suits and smart dresses are used only at official receptions. Sneakers, jeans, T-shirts, and casual wear rule the roost. That kind of thing.

* You won’t believe it but I hate shopping for clothes. That’s why I don’t like to follow fashion. I know you may say people judge you by what you wear. I have some comfortable clothes of a few years old and it doesn’t affect how I feel about myself. I wear something I feel good in. Of course, I keep in mind what is suitable for sport and what is okay for school. And I’ll never put on a swimming costume for my friend’s wedding. Nothing of the kind.

That’s all I wanted to tell you about fashion.
