Unit 3: Type of Clothes

People have different choices when it comes to wearing clothes. Some find it more
comfortable dressing casually. Try to talk about the clothes you like wearing.

Answer A:

I always follow the trend, so I wear many types of clothes. Usually, I like casual clothes. I
like skinny jeans and blouses. I look cool in those. I wear light makeup as well. I look more
presentable with make-up on. For my feet, I usually wear comfy flipflops, sneakers, or ballet flats.
I like to walk with ease. I don’t like wearing tight gowns or high heels though. I feel too stiff or
uncomfortable in them. High heels make my feet sore. I only wear them during special occasions,
like formal parties or birthdays. I prefer comfort without sacrificing style.
