Article: What do you think about SHOES?
We all wear shoes every day. They protect our feet from the things we do every day -
walking, school activities, sports and so on. But for some people they are more than that.
They follow shoe styles, and a good pair of trendy shoes or trainers will cost a lot of money.
Mag About You did a survey and we discovered that many of you pay a lot of money for
5
shoes. We think it's because they are an essential fashion item - specially for the youth of
today! A pair of shoes can make or break your style!
Here are some of the comments from the survey:
Raffi, South Africa: I think it's a bit boring the way everyone in my school wears the same
black leather shoes. There are all kinds of shoes we could wear, but we have a uniform, and
most people follow the rules. There's one girl in my class who wears all kinds of different
things and she's creative, but she isn't fashionable in my opinion. My friends and I try to be a
bit different and wear black trainers instead. We buy them from the same shop. But we like
them!
Anne Belle, New Zealand: I love shoes, especially trainers. They are trendy and
comfortable. You can wear them with everything - trousers, skirts and so on. At school we
did a project where we had to add something to a pair of white trainers. I wrote half my name
on the left and the other half on the right. It was such a cool project!
Zehra: At my school we all have to wear these silly black or brown shoes. They look quite
scruffy after a few months. Nobody likes them. Anyway, the kinds of shoes we can wear at
school is a big story at the moment! The school agrees now that the style of the uniform is
unfashionable. Our art teacher can give the school some advice! She has a great collection
of shoes, and in the summer her sandals are always so pretty! She's really well-dressed. I
want to dress like her.

Subject: Jan’s leaving party
Hi!
I’m writing because, as you know, Jan is leaving our school and moving to Australia. I was
thinking of having a party to say goodbye. Do you think it’s a good idea?
If so, can you think of a good place to have the party?
Would it be best to have it on a weekday or at the weekend?
Also, I’m thinking of hiring a band for the party. Do you know what sort of music Jan likes
best?
See you soon!
Sam
