Task 1.
Read
the text and answer the questions.
Clothes For Important
Days
Are you wearing your best
clothes today? Maybe not. We wear good clothes at school, but we
wear better clothes at parties or on important days. Weddings are
very important days. In the photo of a wedding, the people are
wearing beautiful clothes. They are made of an expensive fabric
called silk. Wedding clothes are different in different countries,
but one thing is the same everywhere-people wear their best clothes
on the most important days.
Clothes For Every
Day
In the past, clothes were
often big and heavy. The old clothes above do not look very
comfortable. Most people could not buy clothes made of light
fabrics, like silk, because they were too expensive. There were no
synthetic fabrics like nylon.
Today, our clothes are light and easy to
wear. They are made quickly in big factories. Millions of clothes
are made every day. Most people have lots of different clothes
because they are cheaper now.
Staying Cool or
Warm
We wear clothes because we
want to be comfortable in hot or cold weather. In hot weather,
tight clothes are uncomfortable. If we wear loose clothes, the air
can move around our bodies and help us to stay cool. The men above
live in a hot country. They are wearing long, white shirts called
dishdashas. White clothes are cool in hot weather. The men’s
turbans and scarves protect their heads from the sun.
In colder countries, people also cover
their heads. In places where the winter is very cold, people wear
hats made of wool or fur. Heat from the body stays in the wool or
fur and keeps people warm.
Looking Good
How do we look good?
People’s ideas about that have sometimes changed. About 400 years
ago, people in Europe wore big white collars around their necks.
You can see one in this painting of a woman from Holland. In
Ancient China, yellow was the emperor’s color. Only the emperor
could wear yellow clothes.
To look good today, men wear ties, and
women wear scarves or jewelry. The head and neck have always been
important in the design of clothes. When we meet people, we usually
look at the top half of their body their face and their eyes. Some
people want to look rich and important. They buy expensive clothes
made by famous designers. Presidents and politicians usually wear
expensive clothes.
