雅思口语Part2话题卡解析之--clothing on special occasions

来源:育路山东教育网发布时间:2012-01-11

You should say:

        what this clothing looks like

        where you bought it

        on what special occasions you wear it

and explain why you wear it on special occasions

 

OK, let me talk about the national costume of Japan:  Kimono

Kimono are T-shaped, straight-lined robes that fall to the ankle, with collars and wide, full-length sleeves.There are different types of kimono for different occasions and seasons, including those worn by men.

 Kimono can be found in many places in Japan but people have to pay through the nose as they cost an arm and a leg. A decent silk kimono will set you back the best part of a million yen. 

Kimono are a much less common sight these days and are usually only seen worn by older people or on special occasions. A few older women and even fewer men still wear kimono on a daily basis. I wear kimono when I was in Japan most often at weddings, tea ceremonies, and other very special or very formal occasions.

Why wear Kimono? It's very rich---you experience a lot of culture and you get such a world of thoughts that go with it. It's not just the feeling that you get from wearing kimono, but the natsukashi (nostalgic). Also, it's always fun to dress up, and you get different reactions from people. The long and the short, it's fun, fashionable and infused with tradition. What better reasons could there be?
