E: Alright. Now I'm going to give you a topic. And I'd like you to talk about it for one to two minutes. Before you talk. You have one minute to think about what you're going to say, and you can make some notes if you wish. You understand? 

S: Yes.  

E: So I'd like you to talk about the type of clothing you like to wear. First of all, you have one minute to prepare(After one-minute preparation) All right. Now remember, you've got one to two minutes for this so don't worry if I stop you, I'll tell you when the time is up. Can you start speaking now please? 

 S: OK. So, the type of clothing I like to wear is usually clothes that makes me look classy because I'm ... I fit … my type of clothing usually tends to be … I tend to aim to the classy. And so I usually wear a shirta blouse or sweater with jeans and … in my daily life. And for example, today I'm wearing a sweater and actually I have brought a coat along with myself. And that ... those are … these are something that I would usually wear in my daily life for informal events. For … maybe if the situation is a little bit more formal like, maybe attending a dinner party or that sort of thing, then I would like ... usually choose like A-line dresses or maybe even jumpsuits because I actually ... I love jumpsuits and I think that ... especially these one-piece items that ... I just think that not only it is convenient for me to wear because I don't have to think about how to match the top and the bottom, and I also think that I can feel very confident in them and they makes me ... they actually give me a confidence boost so that I would walk out and look and feel a lot more as, assured about myself so ... And also, I find that cloth … these clothings usually … the most important thing about wearing clothes is … wearing these clothings is to make me feel better about myself and, and to make me look more presentable to others. So usually, I choose my type of clothing around that. And I usually go to just famous … like common brands such as, Zara and H&M, and those all the brands to find my clothings, so ... 

 

E: So, thank you. 

S: Sure, traveling abroad is quite popular in Hong Kong because Hong Kong people are rather well-off so basically, they can afford to travel to other places. So … and also Hong Kong people led quite a high stress life, so if we've got a chance to travel, we usually tend to travel somewhere else.
