Fashion Sense

Recently, I’ve started to learn about fashion and design in Home Economics class at
(1) _____ school. That’s why I’ve been thinking about some smart ways to look more
fashionable. Here are a few tips that I’d like to share with everyone.

First of all, you must always remember to dress for the occasion. What does that mean?
It’s simple. If you’re going for (2) _____ afternoon tea at (3) _____ Peninsula, you’d better
look decent. For gentlemen, you should wear suit trousers, (4) _____ shirt and a blazer.
For ladies, if you could pair your formal dress with (5) _____ accessory or two, like a
necklace or earrings, it will be brilliant. On the other hand, if you’re going for a hike up
(6) _____ Dragon’s Back, you should choose (7) _____ outfit that is sporty, protective and
comfortable for moving around. You can shield yourself from (8) _____ sun and look
stylish at the same time by wearing hiking sunglasses and (9) _____ boonie hat.

My second bit of advice is that you shouldn’t try to look like (10) _____ models you see in
(11) _____ fashion magazines. That might seem a bit contradictory, but bear with me.
When you’re out in (12) _____ Hong Kong, you’ll see many people who’re trying to copy
(13) _____ style of others. Imagine yourself going out to the city centre by (14) _____ MTR
to meet your friends. You will probably find that everyone dresses up in a similar style.

So, how do you make yourself stand out from the crowd? Think outside the box. Try
something new and creative. Soon, you will develop an eye for fashion and come up with
something wholly unique and attractive.

family’s story. One user commented, ‘I (9) _______________ (not stop) spreading this
crowdfunding appeal unless this family (10) __________ (get) a new home!’ Another donor
said, ‘the needy (11) _______________ (not ignore) by our society, which is built with love
and care.’ At the end of the fundraising period, when Tommy checked the page, he was
astonished that people (12) _______________ (contribute) a sum of $200,000.
‘I (13) __________ never, in my wildest dreams, __________ (anticipate) that level of
generosity. Unless I stop talking about it now, it (14) _______________ (bring) tears to my
eyes again,’ he says. In the age before the rise of crowdfunding, people
(15) _______________ (not be) able to give money directly to individuals easily. But
crowdfunding has made direct donation come true and thus helped spread generosity in
society.
However, there could be a dark side of crowdfunding. Recently, it (16) _______________
(report) that several fake campaigns (17) _______________ (appear) on major
crowdfunding websites and were disguised as charity fundraising events. Unless people
do their research thoroughly, they will be at risk of giving donations to dishonest
campaigns. Nevertheless, Tommy’s experience tells us that if the needy share their
concerns on the Internet, they (18) _______________ (help) by truly generous people in
society. Initially, Tommy Lam and his family (19) _______________ (lose) all of their hope
following the tragic fire, but crowdfunding restored both their home and their faith in
humanity. Unless we find new ways to help families and individuals in need, crowdfunding
(20) _______________ (remain) a compelling and effective option to help the needy.
