E: Examiner

S: Student

E: So we've been talking about the type of clothing that you like to wear. And now I'd like to ask you one or two more general questions related to this. Let's consider designer clothing. Are designer clothes popular in your country? 

S: Design a clothing is not popular in my country because people would like to buy some clothes in the shopping mall and they will wear the clothes, verythey will wear in the course which is buy in the shopping mall they will not to design their clothes. 

 

E:  For those people who do like to buy designer clothes, why do you think they like to buy them? Why do they like to wear designer clothes? 

S: Because people don't like to design clothes, but they would like to buy a clothes because they think design a clothes is very difficult and they would like to, to make their clothing more easily. 

 

E:  When you say designer clothes is difficult, why? What do you mean? 

S: When the people want to design a clothes, they need to paint painting their design and they need to put down their idea on the paper and then the to think how to choose the how to make this clothing what make up of clothing of this clothes and then they need to make it out. So I think that they will like they will think design a clothes is very wasting time. 

 

E:  Let's turn now to clothes people wear to work. Do you think people at work make judgments about their colleagues? According to the kind of clothes they wear? 

S: People will judge someone wearing to less, because in some country, people, the, the females when they when the females wear too sexy, the guys will, the country is, will judge them wearing too low. 

 

E:  What about in Hong Kong? You know when people see their colleagues come to work dressed in a certain way, did they form an opinion about the person because of their clothes? 

S: I think in Hong Kong people is very open mindedthey canthey're open minded to the other countries come from different country. So I think in Hong Kong, these people can very comfortable to living in Hong Kong. 

 

E:  You think that people should be forced to wear certain clothes to work? Their employer tells them You must wear these clothes. Do you think that's okay? 

S: I think people have the right to choose the clothes which they want to wearing. We haven’t to, to let the employer feel happy that we wearing the right clothes in the working place. So I think I'm disagree this this point. 

 

E:  Has the way that people dress for work changed in recent times? 

S: Sorry, can you repeat the question? 

 

E:  In Hong Kong, are people dressing the same way for work as they did in the past? Or has it changed? 

S: In Hong Kong, people will wear the different clothes in the different place. When they go to work, they will wear in the shirts and the trousers. When they going to happy hour, go to bar, they will wear wearing very comfortable and smart casual. So I think, 

 

E:  I will stop you there. Again. Sorry to interrupt. Thank you very much. That's the end of the test.
