Task 1. Read Gina’s fashion blog which is for young teenagers but has a lesson for everyone.

My cousin Anna was four years older than me, and she always wore really nice clothes. She invited me to her eighteenth birthday party and of course, I wanted to wear my new dress, but when I showed her she said, “Gina, if I were you, I would wear a different dress.” I was surprised! “Why?” I said, “This is really fashionable. “I know,” she said, “but the thing is, that dress doesn’t suit you. It’s not your style, and red and orange are not your colours.” And she was right!

It made me realize that I was a slave to fashion – and I didn’t want to be! I know I tell you about the latest fashions every week, but being fashionable isn’t the most important thing. Anna would only wear something if she looked good in it, and I want to pass this lesson on to you. Thanks to her, I began to think more carefully about what styles, clothes and colours made me look good, and which ones didn’t (like that embarrassing dress!) So now, if a dress wasn’t my style, I wouldn’t buy it. I’m only interested in making fashion work for me, so no long dresses and definitely no red and orange!

     Dear (Имя получателя), sorry for not writing for so long, I was busy with my exams.

     I would like to ask you few questions. Have you ever worked as a club member? What do you do in your club in different seasons? Volunteering to protect the environment is popular in Russia, isn't it? I am looking forward to your answer.

     Sorry, I should go, my mom is waiting for me. Write back soon!

Best wishes,
