Subject : The English Camp

Hi,

Thanks for your email. It is great to hear from you. The English Camp was great and
exciting. However, it is a pity that you did not join us.

The English Camp lasts for 3 days and 2 nights at Oasis Bay. During the first day, we had an
ice-breaking session where our respective friends will introduce us to others by telling us our
names and strengths. This activity had taught us that everyone has their own strengths. We
were then divided into a group of 6 to carry out the activities. The first activity we played is a
treasure hunt where students need to find certain clues of grammar rules and idioms to get
to the next level. We had played the “Listen to me!” game on the second day. This activity
was carried out in pairs where one of them will wear headphones to listen to music. That
person will hum on the lyrics while the other partner will guess the title of the song. Lastly,
we had “Cultural Night” to end our English Camp. That night was very fun as there were
students who sang, danced and also acted in a drama.

Unfortunately, we need to share our camps with 5 other group members. I do not really like it
because I am the type of person who is used to sleep alone. When I shared the camps with
my group members, I found out that I am hard to fall asleep. This is due to the fact that some
of my friends snored which will disturb us when we are sleeping.

I have a piece of good news for you! Our school is planning on another camp soon and I am
very sure that it would as exciting and as fun as this English Camp. I will be joining that
camp too. Would you like to join me?

Write soon!

Best wishes,

Shanice
Task 2

Fashion defines a person’s character.

Write an essay expressing your opinion on the statement. Write at least 250 words.

There is an old saying, “you are what you eat”, and in fashion, this consists also as,
“you are what you wear”. Everyone likes to be special and unique, for this purpose, there are
different trends and fashions that make a person dress the way it fits a person’s
characteristics. Fashion is related historically to an individual’s characters since it gives a
general idea of what the person is thinking and minimizes his characteristics as well.
Clothing is often an expression of spirit and character, so there is nothing wrong with finding
a look that suits you. Clothes help in expressing innermost thoughts, kindness and feelings.
This is enough to know what kind of clothes and what way to wear them appropriately.
Sometimes, we feel uncomfortable for being in a place that obliges us to be in a certain
dress while we have different fashion styles. Fashion simply is our appearance, manners
and characteristics. Fashion and personality are related to each other and completes one
another. Therefore, I strongly agree with the statement, fashion defines a person’s character.

Classical fashion describes a person who is elegant and simple. The person who has
classic look will normally wear grey, navy blue, beige and black which is the key colour in
classic fashion. Most women choose this style of fashion because classical clothes make
them look thinner and thus taller. Women prefer to wear this style for the purpose of
simplicity and chicness. Thus, it shows that these women have their own respective goals in
life. However, they do not aim high. They will set smaller and achievable goals before
moving on to larger goals and dreams. Men who choose the classical style will normally
wear a simple jacket, pants and bow-tie. This shows that they have a simple personality in
their life. They are not adventurous to explore more fashion styles. Therefore, they would
just stick with the classical styles. Men and women who wear classical styles are minimalist
in their life. This is because classical style does not require many accessories and being is
simple and elegant is the main focus. Therefore, these people who have minimalist
characteristics would not be interested in decorating their homes or rooms as they are
satisfied with empty and simple rooms. Hence, classical styles are normally referred to
simple yet elegant and minimalist people in life.
Furthermore, trendy fashion is an up to date style and it mostly worn by people range
from eighteen to twenty-four years old. This fashion style normally suits people who have
shopaholics characteristics. This is because they prefer to wear the most up-to-date fashion
available. They usually get caught looking in magazines to see what fashion is out before it
hit the stores. Celebrity fashion, fashion magazines and fashion designers influence their
type of style. When these people walk into a trendy and fashionable store, they would spend
a whale of time picking the clothes and pairing them up with tops and bottoms. They would
also try on many outfits in the fitting rooms to see which outfits fits them the best. Trendy
fashion people will normally make small investments in their fashion styles which will result
from them overspending. Fashion styles are not solely on clothes but include shoes,
handbags, accessories and beauty care. Therefore, they would spend most of their money
on buying these items and at last, they would be broke. For example, Chanel handbags
were trendy at that period of time. They could not resist buying it and at last, they suffered
because they had used all of their saving to buy that Chanel handbag. People who are in a
trendy fashion normally have daring characteristics. They are not afraid to wear the most
colourful shirt in public as everyone would be looking at them. They are able to stand out in
the crowd without being nervous. Therefore, trendy fashion styles are normally referred to as
people who have the characteristics of shopaholics, daring and tend to overspend money.

Last but not least, a casual fashion style is normally worn by people. T-shirts, sweats,
shorts and pants are the outfits in fashion style. These people usually have the
characteristics of prioritising comfort. Among all the three fashion styles, the casual fashion
style is the most comfortable among all. An airy t-shirt with a baggy pants is comfortable and
be worn throughout the day. Compared to classical style, where they need multiple layers of
shirt and trendy fashion style where many accessories need to be worn. These people
prioritise comfort than looking good on camera. Not only that but people who like casual
fashion styles are normally money-thrifty. They do not randomly buy shirts just because they
thought that they will look good in them or it looks special to them. However, they stick to
their casual style and buy normal clothes at a more reasonable price. When hanging with
friends, attending lectures or even travelling, these will stick on the casual style. As we can
see, casual styles can be worn everywhere and anywhere we go. People who are in casual
style have the characteristics of humble. They do not like to be seen in crowds or even
voicing out their opinions compared to trendy and classical styles who like attention. They
are down-to-earth and do not like to show off their success and achievements. Thus, casual
fashion styles normally have the people of characteristics prioritising comfort, money-thrifty
and humility.

In conclusion, establishing a fashion characteristic means developing a sense of


style, which reflects a person’s characteristics, lifestyle, dreams and passions. Finding our
own fashion personality can take up a journey of discovery but once we find it, we can
understand the style which truly defines our characteristics. The beauty of the fashion world
stands in our capacity of using common sense in order to choose everything with good taste.
All the latest trends give us the opportunity and freedom to choose. These trends are not
made for everyone as every character has a different ability to adapt the trends to their own
style. Every individual can choose their most suitable style ranging from classical style,
trendy style to casual style. All of these different looks describe the individual’s
characteristics and also giving others our first impression.
