TỪ VỰNG CẦN GHI NHỚ
Chúng ta cùng xem Sample Answers dưới đây về một số câu hỏi thuộc chủ điểm Fashion và
rút ra những từ vựng cần nhớ.

1. Do you like shopping for shoes?

Of course. Shopping for clothes and accessories is obviously every girl's favorite activity
whenever we have free time and shoes are no exception. I often buy shoes when they are on
sale to save my money.

2. How often do you buy shoes?

I'm not quite sure about this. I suppose I just purchase a pair of shoes when my old ones have
worn out. Or like I mentioned earlier, whenever shoes are on discount.

3. What kinds of shoes do you usually buy?

I have a soft spot for ankle boots and sneakers. Ankle boots are stylish and sneakers are very
sporty, which match my outfits very much.

4. What kinds of shoes do you usually wear?

As I go to school everyday, I don't think boots would be comfortable for me. So sneakers
and flat shoes are my top choices. Other than that, I only wear boots or high heels when
attending some fancy events.

5. Do you think the type of shoes someone wears reflects their character?
I agree with this to some extent. For example if a woman usually wears high heels, it
indicates that she is girly and modern. For some people like me, we just choose whatever that
suits our purposes. So I think it really depends.
