Subject : The summer !

Hello Mike,
 Thank you for the invitation. It seems like a very good idea because I have no plans for the summer.  It
would be my great pleasure to come camping with your family.
Where are we going?  I am available anytime, and for me it would not be a problem when we leave.  I like
swimming very much!  It's a good idea to cook for ourselves.  I can make dinner ! 
 Do we sleep in the same tent to make it more fun or do I have to get my own tent?
 I am very pleased with your proposal, we will talk soon so we can organize.
 Paul

Fashion
 [Surname] 2

How important is fashion?

Why do young people follow fashions and why might this cause problems?

Write an article answering these questions and the best article will win a £50 voucher to spend on
clothes.

Write your article.

Writing Ideas
 Read the questions carefully and ask yourself what you think about fashion.
 Say if you think it's more important than anything and explain why.
 Use phrases like: other things are more important, people wear fashionable clothes.
 Explain why new fashions and clothes can be a problem.
 Use phrases like: spend too much money, make them unhappy, this causes problems, they try to
be someone else.

Suggested Structure
 Paragraph 1 - Say what your opinion is on fashion for young people. Also say what you think is
less or more important.
 Paragraph 2 - Explain why young people think fashionable clothes are important. Give your opin-
ion on this.
 Paragraph 3 - Write what you think could happen.

I think that fashion is not really that important, because even a simple dress is cute. Although the em-
phasis is on companies, clothes do not make the man / fashion does not make the man.
You spend too much money on company clothing. Young people consider that fashionable clothes are
beautiful only because they are expensive and are worn by many people around them.
A child with a minimal economic income could not afford it, and because of this, depression can ap-
pear because teenagers judge a lot when a person does not wear fashionable clothes, categorizing him
as poor, and this creates problems.
In conclusion, fashion can affect confidence in children because of the generation that criticizes too
much. Unfortunately, not all of us can afford it, but we are not inferior by not having branded clothing
or above by having.
