within the framework of updating the content of education. Tasks with assessment criteria and
descriptors are samples for assisting teachers in providing constructive feedback to learners in terms
of achievement of learning objectives; in selecting and designing similar tasks, in planning lessons
and carrying out Formative Assessment.
The advisory nature of the tasks collection allows teachers to adapt, add and make changes
in tasks according to learners’ capacities and requirements.
Additional materials (manuals, presentations, plans, etc.), the discussion possibility on
forums and video instructions can be found on the official website of «Nazarbayev Intellectual
Schools» Autonomous Educational Organisation smk.edu.kz.
We wish you creative work and success!
This collection of tasks is designed for secondary school teachers, school administrations,
educational departments’ seniors, regional and school coordinators in criteria-based assessment and
others.
Freely available Internet resources such as pictures, cartoons, photos, texts, video and audio

Level of thinking skills Knowledge and comprehension
Task
Read the text and identify the aim of it. Choose the heading for the text from suggested list.
Explain your answers.
My hobby is reading. Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in
their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers.
Television has not killed reading, however. Today newspapers and magazines are sold in
very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a
cheap way to get information and entertainment.
Books at home are a wonderful source of knowledge and pleasure, and some types of
books should be in every home. Every home should have dictionaries. Every home should have
an atlas of the world, with large maps. A good encyclopedia is useful, too, because there you can
find information on any subject.
It is important to have some fiction on your shelves, too. Then you can relax with a good
story, or from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelf and read the thoughts and
feelings of your favourite poets.

Computers
A computer is a programmable machine designed to automatically carry out a sequence of
arithmetic or logical operations. The first use of the word "computer" was recorded in 1613,
referring to a person who carried out calculations, or computations, and the word continued with
the same meaning until the middle of the 20th century. From the end of the 19th century the word
began to take on its more familiar meaning, a machine that carries out computations
At the beginning, computers were as big as a large room. It is only later they have become
smaller and smaller, accessible to anyone. This has given way to personal computers. Later
developers created new applications to help users perform many things from word processing to
image editing. A large scale of programs, some free and others costly, have opened new horizons
in information technology.
Now computers have noticeable impact on social relations. They have enabled entirely new
forms of social interaction, activities, and organision. With the Internet, working with computers
has become a part of our daily lives thanks to its basic features such as widespread usability and
access. In addition to face-to-face communication that characterized humans for centuries, a new
form of virtual communication has become more predominant.
Choose True or False.

CAMERAS
One of the latest technological developments is cameras, which have been used for
many years, especially to fight against crime. First, cameras have started to be installed in
public places such as car, parks and shopping centres where the number of the staff isn’t enough
to prevent theft. Recent surveys have shown that theft has decreased in the places where
cameras are installed. Cameras have also been used in schools, colleges and office lifts to
prevent the theft of valuable equipment such as computers. Secondly, cameras are helpful in
preventing hooligans from spoiling the pleasure of the majority at some social events like
football matches. They film people at large sporting events so it is easy to distinguish the people
who are hooligans. Finally, cameras are used outside our houses as it is a good way of catching
thieves. To conclude, it is possible to reduce crime and feel more secure by means of cameras.

Robots
A robot is a machine. But it is not just any machine. It is a special kind of machine. It is
a machine that moves. It follows instructions. The instructions come
from a computer. Because it is a machine, it does not make mistakes.
And it does not get tired. And it never complains. Unless you tell it
to!
Long ago, people imagined robots. Over 2,000 years ago, a
famous poet imagined robots. The poet’s name was Homer. His
robots were made of gold. They cleaned things and they made things.
But they were not real. They were imaginary. Nobody was able to
make a real robot. The first real robot was made in 1961. It was called
Unimate. It was used to help make cars. It looked like a giant arm.
Robots are all around us. Some robots are used to make things, to explore dangerous
places, to clean things.
In the future, we will have even more robots. They will do things that we can’t do. Or
they will do things that we don’t want to do. Or they will do things that are too dangerous for
us. Robots will help us fight fires. They will help us fight sickness. They will help make life
better.

How did all the planets get there? How is it only our planet has life? Will we ever travel to other
planets? These are questions I often think about. I think our planet is the best. It looks so beautiful
from space with its mixture of blue and green. The other planets look too strange to me. Mercury is
just a red, hot ball, pretty much the same as Mars. Saturn looks like a real planet. Its rings give it
an extra-special look. The other planets don’t look that interesting. I don’t really know much about
Venus, Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter. When I was at school, we learnt that Pluto was a planet. But
now it isn’t. Scientists have decided there are now only eight planets in our solar system and not
nine. I wonder why they dropped Pluto.

The universe is a big place. I don’t think anyone can understand just how big. The universe never,
ever ends. It is infinite in size. It’s funny when scientists say they want to unlock the secrets of the
universe. That’s impossible. There are way too many secrets out there. The universe has given us
an adjective in English that is misused. When we say something is universal, it doesn’t make
sense. That’s because we’re saying it takes place or happens all around the universe, when in fact,
it only happens on Earth. Another strange use of the word universe is that people talk about their
universe. Sometimes they say their universe collapsed when something sad happened. Scientists
even call our brain a mini universe.

What Is The Solar System?
The Solar System is made up of all the planets that orbit our Sun. In addition to planets, the Solar
System also consists of moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, and dust and gas.
Everything in the Solar System orbits or revolves around the Sun. The Sun contains around 98%
of all the material in the Solar System. The larger an object is, the more gravity it has. Because
the Sun is so large, its powerful gravity attracts all the other objects in the Solar System towards
it. At the same time, these objects, which are moving very rapidly, try to fly away from the Sun,
outward into the emptiness of outer space. The result of the planets trying to fly away, at the
same time that the Sun is trying to pull them inward is that they become trapped half-way in
between.

Teacher reads the text “European Space Agency” to learners twice. Teacher chooses some
vocabulary for pre –listening task on his/her own and writes it on the board.
“European Space Agency”
The European Space Agency (ESA) is looking at possible ideas at the moment. Later, it
will choose two space missions, to start around 2017 or 2018. The project is called Cosmic
Vision. In Cosmic Vision, the ESA is asking “What are the big questions in space science?” and
“How can we find answers to these questions?”. They haven’t decided anything yet, but here are
some possible future missions.
Perhaps they’ll go to Europa, one of the Moons of Jupiter. They know there’s ice there, but
isthere also water?
Perhaps they’ll fly a balloon on Titan, one of Saturn’s moons. They’ll also go to
Enceladus, another of Saturn’s many moons.
Perhaps they’ll build a new telescope which uses X-ray vision. The telescope will be in
two different parts, and they’ll have to fly them both into space.
Perhaps they’ll land a robot on an asteroid flying near the Earth. The robot will cut off a
piece of the asteroid, and will then bring it back to Earth.
These missions will be expensive. That’s why they will only choose two. They will
probably choose one mission that costs them about 650 million euros, and another that is less
expensive: about 300 million euros.

Space Tourism
Astronauts are not the only people travelling to space anymore.
Everyone can buy a ticket and spend their holiday in space, as long as
they have the money!
Make your reservations now. The space tourism industry is officially
open for business, and tickets cost at least $20 million for a one-week
stay in space. Despite reluctance from NASA, Russia made American
businessman Dennis Tito the world’s first space tourist. Tito flew into
space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket that arrived at the International
Space Station (ISS) on April30, 2001. The second space tourist, South African businessman
Mark Shuttleworth, took off aboard the Russian Soyuz on April 25, 2002, also bound for the ISS.
Greg Olsen, an American businessman, became tourist number three to the ISS on October 1,
2005.On September 18, 2006, Anousheh Ansari, a telecommunications entrepreneur, became the
first female space tourist and the fourth space tourist overall. Space tourism will be one of the
most lucrative industries in the 21st century. There are already several space tourism companies
planning to build suborbital vehicles and orbital cities within the next two decades. These
companies have invested millions, believing that the space tourism industry is on the verge of
taking off.

Planet Facts
Mercury takes 59 days to make a rotation but only 88 days to circle the
Sun. That means that there are fewer than 2 days in a year!
Many astronomers believe that Mercury might be the core of what was once a much larger
planet -- it appears to be a huge ball of iron covered by a thin layer of rock.
Venus is the brightest planet in our sky and can sometimes be seen with
the naked eye if you know where to look. It is the solar system's brightest
planet -- yellow clouds of sulfuric acid reflect the sun's light.
Mars is the home of "Olympus Mons", the largest volcano found in the
solar system. It stands about 27 kilometers high with a crater 81 kilometers
wide.
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, but it spins very quickly
on its axis. A day on Jupiter lasts only 9 hours and 55 minutes. I get dizzy
just thinking about it!
Jupiter is so big that you could fit all the other planets in the solar system
inside it.
The red spot of Jupiter is the biggest, most violent storm in the known
universe -- that spot is at least three times the size of earth!

What do you know about planets?
Mercury is very hot during the day and very cold at night. It is also the fastest planet in
the Solar system. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system. One of its volcanoes, Mat and
Olympia’s Mons, is named after the Egyptian god of truth and justice. The beautiful blue color of
Earth comes from the oceans which cover 70 per cent of the planet. More than seven billion
people live there. The fourth planet, Mars, is named for the Roman god of war. Until 1976
scientists believed there could be life on Mars. Jupiter is the largest planet that we know of. It is a
very stormy planet because it spins so fast. Saturn is 100 times the size of Earth, but it is even
lighter than water, so it would float in a gigantic swimming pool! Uranus is strange because it
spins at an angle. Each pole of Uranus, north and south, has 42 years of sunlight, then 42 years of
darkness. Neptune takes more than 160 years to go round the sun. It has the strongest winds in
the solar system – up to 2 400 kph. Pluto is not considered as planet anymore because of its
strange orbit.

c) will have too much air.
d) is looking for life on other planets.
e) about $600 million on the mission. .
3) A planet can support life if it
4) A very small planet
5) An extremely big planet
6) NASA willl spend f) has water and air.
How many planets are there in our galaxy? That’s a tricky question to answer. Are there
other planets that support life? That’s exactly what the Kelper mission hopes to discover.
NASA launched the Kelper space telescope, designed to find habitable planets, in 2009.
So far it has discovered five new Earth-sized planets beyond our solar system. These planets are
hotter than the Earth’s sun – much too hot for life aswe know it. The Kelper team predicts that
they will need at least three years (and possibly longer) to find an Earth-like planet.
The simplest requirement for a planet to have life (carbon-based life like on Earth) is for there to
be liquid water (not frozen or gas) so the distance from the planet’s sun and therefore
temperature are important. There also needs to be the correct amount of air. If a planet is as
small as Mars (half the size of Earth)its weak gravity means that it can’t hold on to air
molecules. If a planet is Neptune sized (four times bigger than Earth) it has very strong gravity
and too much air. So size matters too.
The cost of the mission is approximately six hundred million dollars. It is scheduled to
observe until 2013 but this could be extended.
Work in your group to discuss the following issue: The argument continues.
In the meantime many people think how many planets can become home for humans.

Procedure : Put three chairs spaced out in front of the class.
Present Continuous Going to Will
Instructions for teacher:
Label each chair with either the 'present continuous', 'going to' or 'will'. Tell the learners that each
chair represents one of the grammatical forms. You may wish to give an example of each form
by sitting in each chair and making a sentence.
Examples:I'm meeting my friend tonight.
We’re going to the cinema.
Then we’ll probably have something to eat or drink.
Invite learners to come and sit in a chair and say a sentence. The learners come up one by one, sit
in a chair, and make an appropriate sentence. Ask concept questions to the learner to make sure
they are sitting in the correct chair.
Example:
Learner: I’m playing computer games tonight.
Teacher: Have you fixed a certain time to play? Are you sure you won’t change your mind?
If their answers show they’re sitting in the wrong place, move them to the right chair and have
them make a more suitable sentence, e.g. I’ll probably play computer games tonight.Make sure

Children and watching TV
Watching television is a major activity that influence on children and adolescents. Children
in the United states average watch and three to four hours a day. By the time of high school
graduation, they will have spent more time watching television than they have in the classroom.
Children who watch a lot of television are likely to: have lower grades in school, read fewer
books, exercise less, be overweight.
Time spent watching television takes away from important activities such as reading,
school work, playing, exercise, family interaction, and social development. Children also learn
information from television that may be inappropriate or incorrect. They often cannot tell the
difference between the fantasies presented on television and reality. They are influenced by the
thousands of commercials seen each year, many of which are for alcohol, junk foods, and toys.
Parents can help by doing the following: don’t allow children to watch long blocks of TV,
but help them select individual programs. Choose shows that meet the developmental needs of
your child. Children’s shows on public TV are appropriate. Set certain periods when the
television will be off. Study times are for learning, not for sitting in front of the TV. Make TV
viewing an active process for child and parents!

earthquakes in China, hurricanes in Mexico and droughts in Africa. I’m sure global warming is
creating more natural disasters. I’m lucky. Where I live, we don’t really have natural disasters.
I’ve never experienced anything like the things on TV. Japan has many natural disasters. They
have earthquakes, typhoons, flooding, volcanoes, and all kinds of things. They are lucky they
have the money to deal with them. There are countries in Africa that aren’t rich. When a natural

Level of thinking skills Knowledge and comprehension
Task
Match the name of a disaster with its definition and its cause. You are going to have three
columns: 1st - name, 2nd – definition, and 3rd – cause.
Avalanche
is the large movement of
snow down the side of a
mountain
It occurs when the snow becomes too loose and
as it slides down it mixes with air and water to
cause a powerful and dangerous disaster.
Forestfire/
Wildfire
is a fire that spreads
rapidly in the forest and
which is hard to extinguish
Usually during a hot, dry summer forest fires
occur. They may be started by people or by
lightning in storms. It can easily be spread
because by wind.
Volcanic
eruption
is the sudden occurrence
of a violent discharge (the
sudden giving off of
energy) of steam and
volcanic material
It is caused by the plates of the earth moving
and the pressure makes magma push up
through the cracks in the earth.
Tornado
is a very large column of
wind that spins around
very quickly
It happens in most places around the world, but
is most common in America. Instability of air
cause growing of every thunderstorm. Warm,
moist air is less dense than cold, dry air. In this
density game, the surface air will begin to rise,
and in an unstable atmosphere, what goes up
will keep going up.
Lightning
Is a brilliant electric spark
discharge in the
atmosphere, occurring
within a thundercloud,
between clouds, or
between a cloud and the
ground
It occurs when electricity comes down from the
sky and hits the ground. A lightning strike can
typically be 30,000 °C and travel at 60,000
miles per second. Thunder is the loud sound
that we hear soon after a flash of this
Landslide
Is the downward falling or
sliding of a mass of soil,
mud, rock
It happens on a slope like a mountain or a hill.
The rocks and earth become loose and fall
down the slope. When soil on the slope is wet,
a mudslide may occur.
126
Hurricane/
Typhoon
Is a violent, tropical,
cyclonic storm of the
western North Atlantic,
having wind speeds of or
in excess of 72 miles per
hour (32 m/sec)
'Big wind', is most likely to occur in late
summer in America. They are caused by low
air pressure and thunderstorms and result in
strong winds and heavy rain. When they
happen in the Atlantic Ocean we call them
hurricanes; however, they are called Typhoons
when they happen in the Pacific Ocean
Flood
Is a large amount or
number, especially when
moving from one place to
another
It occurs when a large amount of water covers
the land. Too much rain usually causes it. It
also happens when the water level in a river
becomes too high. As sea levels continue to
rise, the risk of flooding increases
Earthquake
Is a sudden movement of
the earth's crust caused by
the release of stress
accumulated along
geologic faults or by
volcanic activity
It occurs when the plates of the earth start to
move and the ground begins to move and
shake. It can range from the very big (which
can destroy cities) to the very small (which you
might not even notice). The size of it is
measured on the Richter scale.
Drought
Is a period of dry weather,
especially a long one that
is injurious to crops
It happens when there has been no rain in a
place for a long time. The land becomes too
dry and it impossible to grow any plants or
vegetables on the land. It sometimes occurs in
very hot countries.
What part of speech are these words in the text?
Occur, instability, loose, increase, surface, measure, spark, flooding, spin, lightning, crust, hot,
the, much, however.
Answer keys:
Occur (verb); instability (noun); loose(verb); increase(verb); surface(noun), spark (noun);
measure(noun); spark(noun); flooding(noun); lightning(noun); crust (noun); hot (adjectives),

Task
Read the text about tsunami.
Tsunamis are a series of waves in the ocean that create surges of water. These walls of
water can reach up to 100 feet high and cause widespread destruction when they reach shore.
Earthquakes on the sea floor are the usual cause of tsunamis. When the ocean floor at a plate
boundary raises or falls, it displaces water and sends rolling waves that become a tsunami. Around
80 percent of tsunamis happen in the so-called "Ring of Fire" in the Pacific Ocean. This is a
volcanically active area were tectonic plate shifts and earthquakes are common. Underwater
landslides and volcanic eruptions can also start tsunamis. In Earth’s ancient past, tsunamis were
caused by a meteorite crashing into the ocean. People’s best defense against tsunamis is early
warnings that allow people to evacuate areas near the ocean.
Answer the questions.
1. How high can a tsunami be?
2. What most often causes tsunamis?
3. Where do most tsunamis occur?
4. What are two other ways tsunamis can be caused?

Food with fewer calories for kids
American kids are eating healthier. Companies are making food with less calories but
experts said it is not good enough. Children should eat even fewer calories to keep from
becoming overweight. Calories from food give people energy. Too many calories makes them
gain weight. Gaining too much weight is not healthy.
A Good Start
The companies lowered the calories by about 78 calories per person each day. Experts
called this a great start. However, 78 calories is not enough. Children need to eat even fewer
calories to lose enough weight. This is especially true for poor children. Barry Popkin is a

You are what you eat
The food pyramid is a guide for planning a healthy diet. If you eat the recommended
portions of each food group every day, you will get all the nutrients you need and you will have
enough calories to keep you healthy.
Carbohydrates make up the biggest part of the pyramid. Nutritionists recommend that 60-
65% of the food we eat every day should be made up of carbohydrates. They provide vitamin B,
minerals and fibre. Foods in this group include bread, cereal, rice and pasta.
Fruits and vegetables also contain carbohydrates and are a good source of vitamins, minerals
and fibre. We should eat between 3-5 portions of fruit and of vegetables each day.
Protein is important but should be eaten in moderation. We can find it in dairy products such
as milk, cheese, and yoghurt. These foods also contain calcium and vitamins. We should choose
dairy products with lower levels of fat and only eat 1-2 portions per day.
Meat, fish, beans and eggs contain the most protein. Proteins, which come from animals, are
called ‘complete proteins’ as they contain essential amino acids.
Fats, oils and sweets are at the top of the pyramid: this means that we should not eat them
too much. Remember that fats are contained in other food groups too. But not all fats are bad.
Saturated fats like butter should not be eaten too often, but unsaturated fats like olive oil are good
for us in moderation.

Assessment criteria • Retell extended stories and episodes on a given topic
Level of thinking skills Application
Task
Read the text, find out the main idea of the text and highlight argument, reasons and facts.
Then retell the text.
Sleep is important. Nobody fully understands why we need it, but scientists think that the
body uses the time to recover and to repair damage. When we fall asleep, our heart and breathing
rates slow down, muscles relax and our senses rest. If this is the case, are you giving your body
enough rest?
Lack of sleep means that the body and brain do not work properly. If you do not go to bed
at a reasonable time, you will be sleepy in class and not learn so much. Tiredness means you may
not be able to think clearly, and you may be a danger to other people. Accidents can happen. You
will lack energy, and even playing becomes too much of an effort. Is staying up late really worth
it?
Answer keys:
This is an argument:
Sleep is important.
These are facts:
When we fall asleep, our heart and breathing rates slow down, muscles relax and our senses
rest.
The body uses the time to recover and to repair damage.

Lack of sleep means that the body and brain do not work properly.

Clothes For Important Days
Are you wearing your best clothes today? Maybe not. We wear good clothes at school, but
we wear better clothes at parties or on important days. Weddings are very important days. In the
photo of a wedding, the people are wearing beautiful clothes. They are made of an
expensive fabric called silk. Wedding clothes are different in different countries, but one thing
is the same everywhere-people wear their best clothes on the most important days.
Clothes For Every Day
In the past, clothes were often big and heavy. The old clothes above do not look very
comfortable. Most people could not buy clothes made of light fabrics, like silk, because they
were too expensive. There were no synthetic fabrics like nylon.
Today, our clothes are light and easy to wear. They are made quickly in big factories.
Millions of clothes are made every day. Most people have lots of different clothes because they
are cheaper now.
Staying Cool or Warm
We wear clothes because we want to be comfortable in hot or cold weather. In hot weather,
tight clothes are uncomfortable. If we wear loose clothes, the air can move around our bodies and
help us to stay cool. The men above live in a hot country. They are wearing long, white shirts
called dishdashas. White clothes are cool in hot weather. The men’s turbans and scarves protect
their heads from the sun.
In colder countries, people also cover their heads. In places where the winter is very cold,
people wear hats made of wool or fur. Heat from the body stays in the wool or fur and keeps
people warm.

Looking Good
How do we look good? People’s ideas about that have sometimes changed. About 400 years
ago, people in Europe wore big white collars around their necks. You can see one in this painting
of a woman from Holland. In Ancient China, yellow was the emperor’s color. Only the emperor
could wear yellow clothes.
To look good today, men wear ties, and women wear scarves or jewelry. The head and neck
have always been important in the design of clothes. When we meet people, we usually look at
the top half of their body their face and their eyes.
Some people want to look rich and important. They buy expensive clothes made by famous
designers. Presidents and politicians usually wear expensive clothes.

Name of Fabric Characteristics
of Fabric
Come from Clothes
Synthetic Light, chemical Chemical
materials
Sports, clothes,
shirts
Synthetic fabrics
Synthetic fabrics do not come from plants or animals. They are made of chemicals, and the
chemicals usually come from oil. There are many different synthetic fabrics. Nylon, polyester,
Spandex, and Gore-Tex are some of the most important ones. They are light and strong. They
can stretch and fit close to the body, so they are often used for sports clothes, for example, shirts
and shorts for cyclists.
Wool
People have always worn clothes made of wool, especially in cold countries. The wool
comes from sheep, alpacas, and other animals. There are different types of wool. In some wool,
the threads are thin. This wool is used to make sweaters and scarves. Thicker threads are used to
make blankets and carpets. We can make seven sweaters with the wool from one sheep.
Silk
The first silk was made in China about 5, 000 years ago. The secret of silk is a tiny animal,
called a silkworm. The silkworm makes a thin thread and wraps the thread around its body. In
two or three days, the silkworm can make about 900 meters of thread. Then people take the
thread and wash it.
People weave the silkworm’s thread and make silk. Dresses made of silk move easily
when the person walks. Silk clothes are comfortable because silk is very soft.
163
Cotton
Most shirts, t-shirts, jeans, socks, and underwear are made of cotton. Cotton clothes are
good in hot countries because the air goes through the fabric and keeps you cool.
Cotton plants grow in fields. The white balls on the cotton plant are picked and washed,
then they are made into cotton threads. Most of the word’s cotton is grown in China, India, and
the USA.
Task 2
Answer the questions.
1. What types of wool exist?
2. Why do we need wool?
3. Why is silk fabric so specific?
4. If we don’t have a silkworm can we substitute this animal for production silk or fabric
close to this one.
5. What is the specific of cotton?
6. What is the process of making cotton?
7. Is it hard to make cotton? Why?

Are British teenagers fashion-mad?
Recently a company asked young people in the United Kingdom some questions about money
and shopping. They discovered the British teenagers cannot live without buying new clothes,
even when they do not have much money. We have interviewed British teenagers to see if they
really are mad about fashion.
Chloe Broderick,
Joe Clark, Max Dawson,
I go shopping for clothes with
my friends every Saturday.
Today I I’ve bought things that I
don’t really need too. However a
new dress or top can make you
feel really good. So, it’s worth (it
costs) the money even if you
only wear it once. To be honest, I
don’t really look at the price.
When I like something, I just buy
it. I’ve written article about
fashion in our school magazine
and I’ve drawn some designs for
clothes. Maybe one day I’ll be a
fashion designer myself.
Me? Mad about fashion?
No, way! Ihate shopping for
clothes. My mum usually
buys me stuff (different
things). She knows what I
like. The things I wear aren’t
usually very expensive.
Personally, I think that
people send too much money
on clothes. The most
expensive thing I’ve ever
bought is my leather jacket. I
bought it two years ago. It
looks good, so why should I
buy a new one?
You can’t just buy
jeans or T-shirt nowadays.
They have to be Calvin
Klein jeans or Dolce and
Gabbana T -shirt. My
friends all wear designer
clothes, so I’ve started
doing te same. I’ve just
spent a hundred pounds on
one shirt! Sometimes I’ve
found that later I don’t
even like what I’ve
bought. However it’s
important for me to wear
the same clothes as my
friends. If not, I’m not part
of the group.
