CLOTHES 
1. 
What clothes do you usually like to wear? 
2. 
Do/did you wear the same clothes at school and at home? 
3. 
Will you change your clothes when you go home today? 
4. 
Did you have any special clothes to wear when you where a child? 
5. 
Did you like them? 
Well, actually I don't have any instinct for fashion and my look says I'm a laid-
back kind of guy. So I usually wear casual clothes. I'm most comfortable wearing 
jeans, a T-shirt and my flip-flops. 
Oh, definitely not. I always wore school uniform which was a blue jacket with a 
white shirt. They were very simple and boring. So when I reached home, I tended 
to put on my favourite outfits.

Oh, yes. Formal clothes really make me nervous so when I go home, I take them 
off and change into my sweatshirts. 
Yes, when I was a child, I needed to wear a uniform at school from primary 
school all the way to the very last year of high school; it is a tradition in China, so 
I believe my parents had to follow this tradition too. 
No, I really couldn't stand the school uniform because the clothes were a bit too 
old- fashioned; in addition, sometimes I was reluctant to wear them because they 
were too large. I don’t know why they couldn't be a bit more trendy and 
colourful like the ones in other countries, like Japan and Australia. 
WEEKEND 
1. 
How do you usually spend your weekends? 
2. 
In your country, do men and women usually do the same kind of things on

3. 
When do you spend time with your family? 
4. 
What do you usually do on weekends? 
5. 
What did you do last weekend? 
6. 
What do other people in your hometown usually do on weekends? 
7. 
What are you going to do next weekend? 
8. 
Is there anything new that you'd like to do on weekends? 
9. 
Do you like working on weekends? 
10. 
Do you think employees should have to work on weekends? 
11. 
Do you feel that weekends now are more important to you than when you 
were a child? 
Normally I'll go out to some stunning natural places to let off steam with my 
family or friends on weekends; but if it's not sunny, I'll stay at home for the 
whole weekend. Mostly I just use the Internet to kill time. 
I guess some men play sports while women may just do housework. So men may 
probably do things for their own interest, by contrast, women spend more time 
for their families. 
I always spend the whole weekends with my family. I barely work on weekends. 
Last weekend, I took my son to the Nanjing Botanic Garden to go to see the 
various plants. We went into the greenhouse exhibition of plants which was very 
remarkable. 
Well, there are so many people in my hometown, it's really hard to say, probably 
most people tend to stay at home to enjoy family time, but personally speaking, I 
guess there are not too many entertainments in my small hometown for people 
to go to. 
Next week, I plan to do some shopping because as the Spring Festival is just 
around the corner, I need to go to the supermarket to buy food and other

groceries; besides, I have to buy some new clothes for my family for the coming 
New Year, it's an old Chinese tradition. 
Yes, actually I've been thinking about going to the gym on Saturdays. I have to do 
some exercise, I'm so out of shape now! 
Absolutely no! That's crazy. I have to relax no matter what. Weekends are not for 
work! ! ! 
If I were an employee, I would think this is a horrible idea. Employees are 
human; we all deserve to have some off-work time. 
Yes, the main factor is that after five-days of hard work, I really need some 
leisure time to let off steam, or travel around to experience the countryside. 
Whereas, when I was a kid, I had plenty of time to play, every day was almost the 
same.
