20. 别人给你的衣服Part 2Describe an item of clothing that someone gave you 描述一件别人给你的衣服You should say:What the clothing wasWho gave it to youWhen you got itAnd explain why this person gave you the clothing示范答案：I would like to describe a coat my parents gave me as a present on my 18th birthday. I must say that it is really smart and exactly to my liking. The coat is made of cotton only and it is a name-brand. It is a knee-length black coat, which was in fashion at that time. What I like the most is that there are two deep side pockets, so in winter, I always put my hands into those pockets to avoid the cold. Besides, I can button the coat from top to bottom and it"s also got a decorative waist belt. I am so fond of this coat that I usually wear it every winter. It fits me perfectly and makes me feel comfortable and warm, no matter how cold the weather is. I keep myself warm by wearing the coat with jeans and boots, which match it well. In fact, I have never thought whether it will be out of fashion. As this coat is a gift from my parents, I treasure it a lot and – for sure – I will keep wearing this coat in the future. Part 31.Have you ever given clothes to others?Yes. Charity and helping those in need - Many people give clothes to charity organizations or directly to those in need. For example, during natural disasters, people often donate clothing to support those affected. Passing down clothes - Sometimes, people give clothes to younger family members or friends who might fit into them. This is a great way to recycle clothing and save money, 2.Why do people dress casually in everyday life, but dress formally at work?I guess it"s mainly due to the fact that you have to live to a certain standard when you go to work.But you don"t have to impress anyone if you are just hanging out with your best friends or your family members, not to mention if you stay alone at home.But actually in the workplace, your sartorial taste can say a lot about your personality and your professionalism. You have to look the part and play the part. If you don"t, it means you don"t have a certain amount of respect for your coworkers and your employer.3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of wearing uniforms at work and school?One major benefit is that everyone in the same team can feel a strong sense of unity. They would not feel that they are singled out if everyone wears the same uniform. Another positive aspect is that it puts everyone on equal footing because they will not keep up with the joneses any more. But actually the disadvantage could be that people will have to conform with the norm. And it"s harder to express your individuality.4. Why do people from different countries wear different clothing?Climate plays a big role. In colder countries like Russia, heavy coats and fur hats are essential for winter, while in tropical countries like Brazil, light, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen are more common. People often dress to reflect their personal or group identity. For example, during festivals in China, people might wear traditional Hanfu to celebrate their cultural heritage. 编辑：Moon▼IDE英创教育
