Thời trang có thể chỉ là một thói quen với người này, nhưng lại là nghệ thuật, là đam mê với người khác. Tưởng chừng là một chủ đề quen thuộc, tuy nhiên khi bắt tay vào ôn luyện, mình nhận thấy hoá ra nói về thời trang không dễ như mình tưởng! Kiến thức về thời trang ai cũng có, nhưng làm sao truyền tải lại bằng Tiếng Anh và lại còn phải biết dùng những từ vựng đúng topic, collocations phù hợp mới là điều khó. Vì thế, hôm nay mình sẽ giới thiệu với các bạn một số câu hỏi đáp theo form IELTS có sử dụng nhiều từ và cụm từ “ăn điểm” về Fashion nhé!

Describe someone you know who dresses well. You should say

Tomoko: I’d like to talk about one of my teachers … Miss Evans … she teaches us English in the school I go to … we always look forward to seeing what she’s going to wear when our lessons start … she’s always very well dressed and takes a lot of pride in her appearance … it’s not that she dresses in very smart clothes … she doesn’t come to school dressed to kill or anything like that … but what she wears really suits her … and she has a great sense of style as well … we often ask her where she gets some of her clothes and most of the time they’re just off the peg … and she says she’s not interested in designer labels or anything like that … she doesn’t seem too concerned about keeping up with the latest fashion … she just wears clothes that are timeless… yes … Miss Evans is the person I think looks great in the clothes she wears …
