Band 8 speaking answers
PART 1
What different clothes do you wear for different situations?
As I have mentioned previously, the most essential criterion for me to choose clothes is the situation. I would say that at work, formal garments like sleeved shirts, long skirts and trousers in neutral or pastel color are usually my first choice. However, at usual life, something that is more casual and jazzy such as jeans, leggings, T-shirt and sneakers often makes me feel more comfortable. When it comes to party, I always have to choose dresses that enable me look hot and turn head but show my elegance at the same time.
How different are the clothes you wear now compared to 10 years ago?
Well obviously my choices for clothes have changed significantly for the past 10 years. I guess the reason lies mainly in the fact that 10 years ago, I was a student and most of the time, I wore uniforms. However, now that I have come to the business world, my clothes tend to be way more formal and professional.
Do you think the clothes we wear say something about who we are?
To some extent I would say that clothing in general often help people to make the first impression on other people. Dressing smartly in suitable situation would bring the sense of politeness and elegance. However, it is not one hundred percent true because I always consider that the most beautiful clothes a person can wear is their soul and confidence and clothes is just a tool supporting you to reflect the truly inner side of yourself
PART 3
For which jobs are people required to wear a uniform in your country?
In answering for this question, I guess I could begin by saying something about the fact that uniform is a must – wear for the majority of jobs in my country. In manufacturing factories, for instance, it is not unusual to see for a people in labour clothes with preventive caps, gloves and shoes…whether he is a worker or a manager, all have to comply with the strict rules. Let’s turn to the corporate world, here employees are also required to follow a formal dress code like suits, shirts, or long skirts…all is for the purpose of maintaining the company’s professional image or enhancing productivity and safety among the workforce.
Do you think people are treated differently when they are in uniform?
When a group of people are in a unified dress code, that means there is barely any distinctions in their clothes. Therefore, I am of the opinion that there is a low chance that people would be mistreated when they all wear the same garments. That explains why nowadays, a myriad of companies are encouraging or ordering their staff to wear uniform in order to enhance their productivity.
What are the advantages of making children wear uniforms for school?
Well I suppose there are quite a few benefits obtaining from uniforms for children, one of them is that it eliminates economic inequalities and reduce the competition among students for showing off stylish clothes. Parents would need not shop for expensive wardrobes of their children. At the same time, the second bonus might be that there will be less distraction at schools and children will not strive to keep up with the fashion trends but focusing on their main duty – studying
