1. Are clothes and clothing fashions important to you? (Why/Why not?)
No, clothes and fashions are not really important to me. I tend to wear clothes that are comfortable and practical rather than fashionable.
2. What different clothes do you wear for different situations?
Well, I have to dress quite formally for work, so I wear a shirt and trousers. At home I prefer to wear jeans and a T-shirt, and on special occasions I might wear a suit.
3. Do you wear different styles of clothes now compared to 10 years ago?
No, not really, because I don't follow fashion. I think I have dressed in a similar way for the last 10 years.
4. Do you think the clothes we wear say something about who we are?
Yes, they probably do. Some people are really careful about what they wear because they want to be seen as stylish. Other people wear clothes that show wealth or status, such as clothes by famous designers.
Hi,simon
Here is my answers.
2.Of course,that's quite significant.I think we have to dress quite formally for work,especially when you attending a job interview.On the contrary,I prefer to wear T-shirts at home,even the Pajama.
3.Yes,I guess so.Because 10 years ago, I was a little girl as a student,so I had to wear my uniform all the time.
4.Yes,definately.People who are more easygoing incline to wear jeans or casual clothes.But,strict person are often willing to wear suit.
Do you think the answers are OK? Or has some problems in it? And could you give me some suggestions to improve my speaking?(I always prepare the test for myself,so it is quite hard for me in speaking & writing.)
Thanks a lot.This website is REALLY useful,and I love it much!!!

Dear Simon
I took my speaking test today and although I thought I did as well as I did the first time I sat for my IELTS(I got a 7.5 for speaking) for parts 1 and 3, I think I completely messed up for part 2. It's mostly my fault, but out of sheer nervousness, it didn't really hit me that the examiner had given me mere seconds, barely more than 20 seconds to plan for part 2 until I had begun speaking for nearly ten seconds already. I realised after awhile because I've timed myself before, but somehow I was so nervous it didn't occur to me till I was already doing the second point. She just said "you may begin", and I didn't even think twice or protest or stop her, so I know I'm to blame too, but I'm still rather upset about it. I think I didn't even hit the 1 minute mark with part 2 speaking, there was such a long pause after. I guess, what I really want to know is, could you give me an estimate of how I'll score this time from the little information I've given you. Basically, I think I did decently for part 1 and 3 but terribly for part 2. I really need to score at least a 6.5 for speaking to get into university and now I'm really worried. I would really appreciate your feedback.
