Clothes Reflect People’ Feelings
    Clothes can carry a message for other people and is in some way a reflection of what we feel. People are beginning now to take seriously the idea of a kind of psychology of clothing, to believe that there is not just individual taste in our clothes but also a thinking behind what we wear which is trying to express something we may not even be aware of ourselves. This is often the case. We all dress up when we want to impress someone, such as for a job interview with a prospective employer; we tend to make an effort and put on something smart or neat.
Bob  Hi, Jane, how are you getting on these days?
Jane  Hello, Bob. Just so so. I feel extremely stressed.
Bob  Sympathetically Yeah? What’s wrong?
Jane  Well, I think what we have learned so far in college is impractical and behind the rapid development of modern science and technology. So I’m confused and wondering whether I can get a job after I graduate.
Bob  Yeah, that seems like a headache many youth face nowadays. Well, why not get an additional degree? I mean, you may ask people who hold a good job what degrees students should obtain so as to meet the needs of companies.
Jane  Good idea. But you know, when we apply for a position, the companies are more concerned about work experience rather than diplomas and degrees. For instance, they will ask you, "Have you ever worked?  Where?  What did you do?" and "How long?"
Bob  Yes, that was the second point I was going to suggest. Maybe you can find a part-time job.
Jane  Uh-huh.
Bob  Well, I mean part-time jobs can enhance young people’s social development. Moreover, it can cultivate a sense of competition, which is very important in the future workplace. Er... this experience gives students an insight into what work is about and helps them prepare psychologically.
Jane  Yeah, that might work. Thanks.

答案Clothes are in some way a reflection of what we feel. It’s a sign of our characteristics behind what we wear which is trying to express something we may not even be aware of ourselves. With the development of psychology and advertisement, people are paying more and more attention to demonstrating their characteristics and personalities. They try to choose the novel thing whenever they buy products or do other things to show that they are special, creative, and able to make innovation and lead colorful lives. Therefore, it is really a matter of individual taste. Furthermore, clothes carry a kind of message for a person. For instance, people who are sociable and outgoing tend to dress in an extrovert way, preferring brighter or more dazzling colors—yellow, white, blue and so on. Whereas, people who are introvert tend to wear quiet and simple colors. In sum, clothes are really a matter of individual taste but also a symbol of a person.
