Listen to the poem Sneakers. What is the author’s point of view on fashion?
We’re going to buy new sneakers!
Oh, I love to have new shoes!
They have so many in the store
That I can pick and choose.
I don’t care if they are red or blue
Or even black or white,
Cause new sneakers always run so fast
And they always jump so high!
Listen to some other points of view on the problem and say which of them support(s) Phil’s, Tracey’s or Katya’s opinions and which don’t. Explain why.
“It depends on what I’m doing during the day. I usually wear something suitable. I like to be comfortable whatever I’m doing.”
“I try not to follow the latest trends because I think it’s good to have your own style.”
“I wear really nice clothes when I’m going out with my friends. But I don’t care what I wear in the house.”
“I don’t really care much about fashion. Shopping for trendy clothes is not for me. Comfy trainers, top and jeans — that’s me!”
“Fashion is not a big deal for me. I don’t go crazy to make myself look cool!”
“I think that people have to wear what they want and not what other people want them to wear!”
“I care about fashion, what’s in and what’s out but if I don’t find the item comfortable, I won’t buy it.”
“If people want to go crazy about fashion then it’s OK as long as they don’t bully people who don’t follow fashion and talk behind their backs or something. I think there are more important things to do with your time and money.”
“People think that following fashion too much is bad. Well … I love following it. I absolutely love the latest trends. And as long as I feel happy who cares?”
