TRANSCRIPTazurewhite
Molly: Look, there are so many shops in here! I’m sure we’ll find something nice to wear for Abbie’s wedding!
Clare: Ok, so where do we start?
Molly: How about that boutique? It has a nice green floral dress in the window.
Clare: Great, let’s go in there.
Molly: Anything that you like?
Clare: This long striped dress looks amazing. I’ll try it on. And did you find anything for yourself?
Molly: Hmmm...I don’t know. This blue skirt looks nice but I’m not sure if it’s OK for the wedding.
Clare: Why not? It will look fantastic with a white smart blouse and some beautiful jewellery! Go ahead, try it on!
[3 sec pause]
Molly: Bad news - My dress is too small and they don’t have a bigger size. Maybe I’ll find something in a different shop. And how is your skirt?
Clare: The skirt is perfect. I’ll take it!
Molly: Great, but don’t think it’s the end of our shopping, we’ve got a few more shops to visit today!

DO WE CARE ABOUT FASHION?
Nowadays teenagers try to keep up with fashion and many of them try to follow the latest trends.
SCHOOL
Some students wear uniforms at school but they are a minority in Poland. Teenagers usually choose the casual style, i.e. jeans and a T‑shirt or a hoodie.
TRENDS
Our streets are full of colours and designs. This summer we can admire long floral dresses. When it comes to footwear, sneakers always seem to be a perfect choice.
WHAT CLOTHES WE LOOK DOWN ON
Generally, we don't like wearing smart suits or formal shirts with a collar. They are not only unfashionable but also uncomfortable.
OLD THINGS
I usually give my old clothes to charity. They hardly ever end up in my rubbish bin because I support a zero‑waste lifestyle.
So how about you? Share your opinions in the comments section.
