雅思口语题目解析：Clothing

　　Describe a favourite item of clothing.

　　You should say:

　　what it is

　　when you bought it

　　why you bought it

　　and say why you like it so much.

　　解题思路

　　首先做一个简短的介绍：

　　本身对衣服不太感冒?但是有一件最喜欢的衣服，以此引出这件衣服。

　　I'm not really that into clothes. I do try and look fairly smart but I'm not that bothered by my personal appearance and the clothes I'm wearing. But I will tell about my favourite article of clothing – my leather jacket. That is by some distance my favourite piece of clothing.

　　这件衣服什么样?

　　可以描述一下这件衣服的外观/材质?穿着的舒适度、适合穿着的天气或季节?是否有特殊之处（瑕疵或者亮点）

　　It's a fairly normal or regular leather jacket. The one unusual feature I suppose is that it has white stripes down the sleeves. It's also quite well-worn by now because I've had it some time and I tend to wear throughout the winter months. In fact it's got quite a few little tears where it's caught on sharp objects. I still love it though and I don't mind at all that it looks rather second-hand.

　　我是何时购买的这件衣服?

　　大约购买的时间大概的购买地点?购买之前发生了什么事（促使我购买）

　　I bought it at least 5 years ago now. It came from one of those big department stores and not a specialist leather shop. My old coat was very shabby and I was told by my girlfriend that I definitely needed to buy another one – I think she was embarrassed to be seen with me.

　　我是在哪里购买的?

　　和谁一起去买的?具体购买的时间/季节/节日（是否有折扣?）?买的时候花了多长时间

　　So I went out by myself. I think it must have been sometime in January when the New Year sales were on. My girlfriend wanted to come with me and help me choose something smart but I said I would do it by myself. We shop in very different ways. She always wants to try everything on and can spend hours buying nothing. My approach is quite different. If I see something that I like and it fits I buy it. She might be two hours in a shop while I normally only take 15 minutes.

　　我为什么买这件衣服?

　　因为好看/便宜/特殊的外观吸引了我?买了之后周围的人对我的评价

　　Anyway I saw this jacket and I thought that it looked really cool. I had always secretly wanted a leather jacket and because the sales were on and it was reduced by 50% I just bought it. My girlfriend was really shocked when she saw what I had bought.

　　我为什么喜欢这件衣服?

　　看起来很独特?让我也与众不同

　　I like it because it's different – it' s just not like any other clothes I have in my wardrobe.

　　第三部分 Part 3

　　Do all people enjoy shopping for clothes?

　　问题中有all这个绝对词，可以分情况讨论：

　　提出观点：不同的人的购买需求不一样。看起来，女人比男人更喜欢逛街买衣服。

　　原因：喜欢买衣服的人注重自己的外表和买买买的过程，不喜欢的人觉得这就是种浪费。

　　反向原因：有时候买衣服不一定和他们喜不喜欢有关系：举例，很多男士只有在他们需要出席正式场合的时候才会出去买。

　　I can't say for sure since it largely depends on personal demand and interest. Women seem to be more obsessed with fashion and shopping than the rest of the population but, of course, there are exceptions. Those who love spending time and money on beautiful pieces of clothing pay great attention for their appearance and take pleasurein（喜欢……） the act itself, while others consider it a waste of resources. However, people have different reasons to buy clothes which are not necessarily related to whether they enjoy it or not. For example, most men tend to avoid clothes shopping unless they need a new suit for some formal event or simply because they're run out of clothes.

　　Why women like to do shopping?

　　首先，女人天生爱美，服饰是一个人形象和性格的标志，所以她们希望穿得得体。

　　第二，购物也不仅仅是追求时尚，也是一种放松?为何需要放松?现在社会压力太大了，买买买可以让她们暂时放下思想负担。

　　最后，她们不只是为自己买，也会给家人朋友带货、送礼。

　　Women are usually considered creatures of beauty, which may explain why they love shopping and enjoy lavish costumes to a considerable degree（很大程度上）. First and foremost, outfits are visual indicators（标志） of personal image and personalities, hence, they want to dress accordingly. Secondly, shopping is not only for the sake of（为了……） fashion but also an effective means of relaxation（放松的方式）. In modern society where lots of people are under constant stress（在不断的压力下） every day, indulging oneself in（沉溺在……） some serious shopping may help to take the weight off their mind（减轻思想负担）, despite temporarily. Last but not least, women don't usually shop for themselves alone but most of their spending is on family and friends. They relish the idea of giving gifts or buying nice clothes for their beloved ones, therefore, shopping sits high on their to-do lists.

　　Why some women buy cheaper clothes and expensive ones at the same time?

　　两个反差比较大的东西，我们可以用比较的方法来回答：

　　首先，贵的衣服确实不错，但是便宜的衣服也不一定就没有吸引力。?所以，女人们贵的和便宜的衣服都会想买。

　　其次，上流人士出席活动要穿贵价的奢侈品，但是平价品牌同样有设计感、时尚感。?所以，这些平价品牌在日常生活中更合适。

　　Admittedly, the more high-priced（高价的） a piece of clothing is, the more exquisite（精致的） it looks. However, it doesn't mean low-cost（低价的） costumes are less appealing（吸引人的） or fashionable. Therefore, many women have both high-end（高档的） items as well as more budget-friendly（划算的） ones in their closet for different purposes. Luxury brands such as Gucci, Channel or Louis Vuitton are more familiar with the upper class（上流社会） and frequently make their appearance（到场） in upscale（高档的） places or events. Yet, more affordable（价格合理的） apparel brands like ZARA or H&M are not falling behind in（落后于……） terms of fashion trends or stylish designs. Thus, many prefer them and their products are suitable for various occasion from daily wear to special ones.
