　　今天上午没课，难得清闲。约了个高中好友帮他准备准备雅思考试，他从日本回来，准备再去英国深造。近5个小时，新题没讲几个，多数时间用来叙旧了 聊到08年9月新出现的这个变态话题卡的时候说到了日本的和服，想想也确实是个不错的题材，考试时候说出来可以引起考官的兴趣，做到与众不同。

　　An item of clothing

　　OK, let me talk about the national costume of Japan: Kimono

　　① Kimono are T-shaped, straight-lined robes that fall to the ankle, with collars and wide, full-length sleeves.There are different types of kimono for different occasions and seasons, including those worn by men.

　　② Kimono can be found in many places in Japan but people have to pay through the nose as they cost an arm and a leg. A decent silk kimono will set you back the best part of a million yen.

　　③ Kimono are a much less common sight these days and are usually only seen worn by older people or on special occasions. A few older women and even fewer men still wear kimono on a daily basis. I wear kimono when I was in Japan most often at weddings, tea ceremonies, and other very special or very formal occasions.

　　④ Why wear Kimono? It's very rich---you experience a lot of culture and you get such a world of thoughts that go with it. It's not just the feeling that you get from wearing kimono, but the natsukashi (nostalgic). Also, it's always fun to dress up, and you get different reactions from people. The long and the short, it's fun, fashionable and infused with tradition. What better reasons could there be? www.wdnos.blog.sohu.com
