• How important are clothes to you?
•'What do these people think about clothes, shopping and shoes?

1. I don’t buy clothes very often and I don’t think what people wear is very important. When I go shopping, I buy the clothes I need and that’s all. I usually wear a pair of jeans, a T-shirt and some trainers, and a jumper or a jacket when it’s cold. And I hate buying shoes - I’ve only got three pairs of shoes!

2. I like looking good and I spend a lot of money on clothes every year, especially shirts and ties. I’m a lawyer, so what I wear at work is important. I go shopping every month and today I want to get some new trousers and a suit. Yes, what I wear is really important to me and to my friends!

3. Oh, I love clothes! I buy fashion magazines every week and watch programmes about clothes on TV. And I really love shoes-I’ve got more than fifty pairs at home. My friends and I talk about clothes a lot and we go shopping every Saturday afternoon. What do I want to buy today? Some new shoes, of course!
