Text 10:
The society today is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and untidy look seem to be reaction against the increasingly expensive fashions of the top fashion houses.
But, in my opinion, appearance is more and more important and we must choose our clothes carefully. It is some kind of stupid to go on a job interview in the civil service wearing jeans and a sweater, and it would be impolite to visit the elderly persons dressing up as if we were going to the beach or a bar and some places like that.
However, you don’t need to feel sad if you don’t look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you will see that no one else does either!
