E: Examiner

S: Student

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: I'd like you to talk about the type of clothing you'd like to wear. So 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: Yes. So, in terms of types of clothes I'm comfortable with wearing, I'd say that's basically two typeFirst of them is workout gear because I go to the gym a lot. Workout gear isomething, in terms of functionality … to me, it's very practical, it's exactly what I need on a daily basis. Also, it's very comfortable. Sometimes, I'll even go hang out with my friends in workout gear, because it's just very comfortable materials. And I … it makes me feel confident because I do … I practice CrossFit, that's something I like to do. So it reminds me of the confidence I have when I'm practicing the sport. The other thing is, I, I tend to prefer more minimalism … minimalist clothes … clothing. So types of clothes that's easy to mix and match. They so called the must have items you would have in your closet, though I tend to have very monotone clothes, so black, whites, grays, navy blues, all the basics that you could just wake up, pull out random things in the closet and you just look sharp and good to go. And I think those are timeless pieces, you don't have to worry about fashion … whether it's fashionable, or not … fashionable or not. As long as you don't contradict a lot of basic rules, I'll say, you look put together and you’ll still be considered stylish. So it's the type of clothing I'll be comfortable with. And even with shoes, I have basic sneakers like converse or basic dress shoes that be able to match with either jeans or normal trousers as well. So that's basically the two main types of clothes that I will be comfortable with. If there's any exception, then there'll be a nice … 

E: Thank you.
