I asked Gary

where the band played , he told me they mainly played in small clubs. I asked
him if he had ever played a Shakespearian role, and he told me that he had.
He’d played Othello in Stratford in 2008, and he’d enjoyed it very much.
Finally, I asked him if he ever wanted to direct a play, and he told me that
he hoped to one day, but he didn’t know when it could happen because he was
so busy acting.

we often make mistakes. It's wrong not to take care of clothes or to pay too

them according to your taste.
- A person in
extravagant clothes always looks superb.
- If you are
plump, it's OK to wear short dresses.

jeans everywhere: at a party, in a theatre, in a restaurant, at a picnic
...

man looks like he is full of dollars.

add charm to a man.

Ex. 4. A girl wants
to date with a boy, but she does not know how to attract his attention. Her
classmates give her pieces of advice. Have a look at them and say if you agree
or disagree with them. Change them according to your vision of the role
of clothing in the process of communication. Give your own advice.
Ex. 5. Many men,
many minds. Comment on the following statements concerning clothes.
... says that..., /because
... /besides he believes ... /As to me …
1) In fact, I do
not care what I wear. I never judge people by the way they look. Clothes do not
matter much for me! What is really Important is - the kind of person you are.
If you've got brains you should be smart enough to understand it. If a person judges
me by my clothes, I simply do not communicate with him.
2) Everyone must
care what he/she wears. I can say everything about the person after I've just
looked at him: his habits, education, social status, his character ...
everything! Clothes reveal the inner world of a person. If there is no balance
between what a person has got inside and what he wears, there is a big problem.
3) Of course I
care what I wear. But I can't say that I follow fashion. I adhere to the style
which suits me. And if new tendencies in fashion do not coincide with my style
I ignore them. What is important for me is to feel comfortable. If a person is
not fashionable it's OK, one should be neat and well-dressed.
