CLOTHES AND COLOURS

3 Reading: What do they like to wear?

Read the text and fill in the headings with ‘John’, ‘Pat’ or ‘Susan’.

When I’m at work, I wear formal clothes. I usually wear a shirt with a smart pair of trousers and black
shoes. But when I’m at home or out with my friends, I prefer to wear casual clothes and I like light
colours. I usually wear jeans all year round. If it’s a warm day, I usually wear a T-shirt. When it’s cold, I
always wear a sweater and a warm jacket. I hardly ever wear a T-shirt in winter.

When I’m at work, I need to look smart. I usually wear a black business suit and a pair of elegant shoes.
Outside work, I sometimes wear formal clothes. For example, when I’m in an expensive restaurant or
at a dinner party, I usually wear a long dress. Purple, red and black are my favourite colours. At home,
I normally wear casual clothes. I like wearing shorts, T-shirts and trainers.

In my work, I can wear anything I want, so I usually wear something casual, for example a colourful
blouse, or a T-shirt, because it’s more comfortable. If it’s really hot, I sometimes wear shorts and
sandals! I don’t wear different clothes when I’m not at work, and I don’t have a favourite colour. I
never wear formal clothes because I don’t feel comfortable in a suit. But I sometimes wear a white
shirt.
