How old are you? 2 Where do you live? 3 Talk about the clothes and styles that you like. Why do you like them? 4 What clothes do you wear to school? And at the weekend? 5 When did you last get new clothes? What were they? 6 Which is better for a special event: a tracksuit or jeans and a T-shirt? Why?
