Fashion
My topic is ‘Fashion’. Fashion is important to
almost all of us. By fashion, we usually mean
popular trends in styles of dress. When we go out
or to a party, we usually like to wear fashionable
clothes. To illustrate my talk, I have brought along
five objects.
My first object is this blouse. It looks beautiful,
doesn’t it? It’s my most expensive piece of clothing,
and I love it. It cost me $200. It may seem very extravagant, but I could afford it with my own savings. It wasn’t easy for me to earn the money, but when buying clothes, I think the more you spend the better the quality. So you see, fashion is quite important to me.
However, I’m not as keen on fashion as my brother Gary. Last summer, he won a free trip to London in a contest. The organizers wanted to show him some famous sights. But he didn’t appreciate old buildings. He just spent all his time searching for the coolest pair of trainers! For him, fashion was more important than culture. These are the trainers
he bought. Was it worth a trip to London to buy these? Well, I don’t think so. It was a waste of time and money.
Fashion is very big business. Changes in fashion can create or ruin jobs. As an example, I have brought this blonde wig to show you. It belongs to one of my mum’s friends. In the 1960s, these were very fashionable. But a few years later fashions changed, and women wore wigs much less often. Many wig factories closed down, and hundreds of workers lost their jobs, which was terrible!
Fashion can affect the natural world, as well. I’m
holding an old hat borrowed from a drama company. It’s
made of beaver fur. These hats were very fashionable about
200 years ago. As a result, beavers almost became extinct.
Luckily, in the 1850s, these hats went out of style and the
beavers were saved.
Finally, we should remember the saying, ‘never judge
a book by its cover.’ Clothes will not make us more or less
clever, better or worse, more or less honest. I once saw a
movie about Mother Teresa. She spent all her life helping poor people in India, most of whom were dying. In 1979, she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. When she flew to get the award, she wore the same old clothes as usual, and carried all her possessions in a little bag like this, which I bought in a market. This reminds us that fashion is not the most important thing in life.
Thank you.
