Exercise 2:

Part 1: Essay “people care too much about fashion”

People have always been interested in fashion for many centuries. A professional and
presentable appearance is required not only for work and business, but also for daily
meetings and communications. It provides people with their first impression of a person's
characteristic. However, an increasing number of people are overly concerned with their
appearance.

Due to the development of society, people, especially young people, are exposed to many
images of people with more luxurious and fashionable lifestyles. These factors contribute
to the tendency of many young people to express themselves, to demonstrate their ability
to pay for luxury items, such as fashion clothes and high-tech products. For these reasons,
many young people are willing to spend a huge amount of money to be able to simply
pour into the latest fashion trends. In addition, wearing fashion items can show the user's
personality and make them more confident. So, more and more people have paid too
much attention to fashion

This can have long-term negative consequences, not only for young people but also for
society. Following fashion trends will almost certainly drive young people to bankruptcy
if they continue to squander their hard-earned money and lose control of their spending.
Things can quickly deteriorate, especially when the unexpected occurs, such as an
accident or the need to pay tuition. At the social level, if more money is spent on luxury
items, the demand for conventional products will fall, resulting in a drop in sales of
common goods and potentially affecting consumers, businesses, and the local economy.

To conclude, it makes no difference what clothes you wear or how much they cost. The
most important thing is to feel at ease and confident in your clothes.
