What sort of clothes do you prefer to wear? Do you ever have to wear things you don't really ike? If so, when, and why? Talk with a partner. Describe what people in the class are wearing today. Then list topic vocabulary in sets like these. Clothes: suit, sweatshirt, Footwear: boots, sandals, Jewellery: bracelet, earrings, Headgear: heed, helmet, Materials: woetlen, leather, Appearance: casual, smart, Work in pairs. Choose a pair of photos, for example 1a andab. Describe what each person is wearing and say something about their appearance. In the same pairs, compare the two people in your photos. These examples may help you. The one on the left is younger than the one on the right. This girls clothes are not as stylish as the other one’ This man seems to be less serious than the man in the suit. Asa dass, summarise what you said about the people UNIT Listening 6. (UBB You will hear some short recordings, where five ofthe people in the photos talk about what they like to wear. Say who is speaking n each case. Here is an example. Speaker 1is the man in photo 3b. Look at his photo as you listen. In this transcript of what Speaker 1 says, some words and phrases are highlighted, This is to show that parts of an exam recording may make you think that other answers are possible. This is why you must listen carefully and check when you listen a second time. Tm not a suit man. Even for work, I can get away with casual stuff, though I still like my clothes to look smart. I love shopping ~ my favourite place is Paul Smith in Covent Garden. I bought a really nice woollen shirt there recently. Clothes are important to me, but they need to be comfortable as well as stylish. ‘NEB Now listen to the other four speakers and match the correct photo to each speaker. Compare answers with someone else when you have finished Speaker? D) Speaker 3 [} Speaker 4 ‘Speaker 5
