along the way

5

Glamorgal

10 Young@heart To me, beauty is an everlasting thing It doesn’t matter if your skin

sags or your hair turns gray While some people are reluctant to

show their true age, I think genuine people are the most beautiful

The most beautiful thing in the world is financial freedom Money can buy a product that guarantees to make you look younger or more feminine My goal is to be rich first and beautiful second If you have money, the world will be a more bearable place

to use Write your answer in the space provided (0) has been done as an example

A For example, in the 1950s, young people around the world dressed like Elvis Presley.

B They usually like the same type of music and wear the same style of clothing.

C The truth is most people don’t want to look unfashionable.

D The British Queen Elizabeth was famous for her fashionable clothes.

E However, it can also explain what you think.

F There are adverts everywhere: on TV, on the Internet and in magazines.

G The French King Louis XIV was famous for his elegant style.

H Some people say they don’t care what they wear.

I Fashion is the most important thing that young people think of every day.

THE POWER OF FASHION

Fashion is something we think about every day (0) H But they still choose clothes every morning that say a lot about them and how they feel .(1) They want

to wear up-to-date clothes that make them feel good The problem is fashion is always changing

During the eighteenth century, Paris was the centre of the fashion industry and, like

today, the fashions changed (2) He wanted other countries to know about Paris

fashions, so he sent fashion dolls to Europe Dressmakers could then copy the clothes, footwear and hats on the dolls

In recent years, music, films, videos, books and TV have all influenced what people

wear .(3) Then in the 1990s, hip hop was very popular and young people dressed in

baggy trousers and hooded tops and boots Ray-Ban sold thousands of pairs of sunglasses

after Will Smith wore them in the film Men In Black If he’d worn a different type of

sunglasses, they would have become popular instead

Young people often choose their clothes in order to be part of a group The members

of the group have the same interests, and have names such as goths, skaters or rappers (4) If a young person is a goth, for example, they wear black clothes If somebody is

a rapper, they often wear baggy jeans and lots of jewellery

Style can show what kind of music you like, or what group you belong to (5) In the 1970s, people wore badges to show what they thought about important

issues In the 1990s, Katherine Hamnett, a top British fashion designer, became popular when her T-shirts with messages such as ‘Preserve the rainforests’ were worn by different rock bands In 2005, people at the Live 8 concerts wore white wrist-bands with the message

‘Make poverty history’

The truth is the fashion industry is huge Millions of people around the world are involved in the buying, selling and production of clothing Of course, advertising is

important too .(6) However, if the media didn’t exist, fashion would still

change-just like it did in the days of Louis XIV
