MARTHA BLEWITT'S FASHION BLOG
December 29
Hello everyone! Here I am on a weekend trip to Prague – in the middle of winter.
People are wearing their best winter clothes. Lots of heavy jackets and coats for the
men, and long skirts and boots for the women – because it's not easy to walk in the
snow in normal shoes! People in the park are doing exercises in tracksuits and
trainers, but with a sweatshirt on top!
February 7
Today's report is from a fancy dress party to celebrate Carnival here in the south of
France. I notice that nobody's wearing hats, maybe because it's quite warm. And I
can't see many coats either. Lots of colourful tops and comfortable, informal trousers
like leggings and joggers – a few men are even wearing shorts! Everyone's having a
great time, dancing in the streets. And if you don't wear a hat, it can't fall off when
you're dancing!
July 12
Hello again – now I'm in Berlin in July. Everybody seems to have a message on their
T-shirts, and in all kinds of different languages! Young people are wearing shorts,
skirts, jeans and trainers – really casual clothes. But it's easy to see the business
people in their suits and ties and shiny shoes! They look so serious! Orange seems
like a popular colour this summer, especially with the women. Men seem to prefer
greens and blues.

B – Short composition.
Write a paragraph about a memorable day in your life. You should write about 100
words.
One of the most memorable days in my life was when I went on a trip alone to Hanoi
this summer. This time I was free to do what I wanted without depending on anyone.
The day was filled with unforgettable experiences. I went to see and take photos of
street scenery, at famous places such as the Temple of Literature, Sword Lake, and
Yen So Park. Here the people are friendly and hospitable. I have enjoyed famous
dishes and they are very good. This trip helped me become more independent
because I had to do everything myself. It was definitely one of the best memories of
mine.
