Ex. 1. a) Look at the people in the pictures 1 to 5. Which one(s) would you describe as a fashion victim, trendy, smart, scruffy, old-fashioned, casually-dressed, unconventional, well-dressed, badly-dressed.

c) Count the number of YES answers and check your results. How far do you agree with the description of your style? Try to predict your partners answer to see how well you know his/her style.
10-15: Congratulations! Youre a style guru! Youve discovered how to look your best with the least amount of time, energy and worry. You know the latest trends and how to make a fashion statement without becoming a fashion victim! You maintain a classic wardrobe and you are always well-dressed. You are definitely an inspiration to others!
5-10: Good! Your life doesnt revolve around fashion but youre aware of it and always look good. You have your own style and prefer to wear what you feel good in rather than what the magazines say. You can be cool and trendy at times, but you prefer to be carefree and casual. Be careful of becoming boring and predictable, though.
0-5: Oh dear! Youre really not very aware of fashion at all and to be honest you dont care either. You are rather conventional and will never be a trend-setter. You could try to be more flexible in your attitude and wear an eye-catching colour occasionally. Others may treat you differently, because youre not fashion-conscious. Dont worry though its their problem, not yours.
