Describe an item of clothing that you wear on special occasions. You should say: what this clothing looks like ① where you bought it ② on what special occasions you wear it ③ and explain why you wear it on special occasions ④ 和高中好友聊到08年9月新出现的这个变态话题卡的时候说到了日本的和服,想想也确实是个不错的题材,考试时候说出来可以引起考官的兴趣,做到与众不同。 OK, let me talk about the national costume of Japan: Kimono ① Kimono are T-shaped, straight-lined robes that fall to the ankle, with collars and wide, full-length sleeves.There are different types of kimono for different occasions and seasons, including those worn by men. ② Kimono can be found in many places in Japan but people have to pay through the nose as they cost an arm and a leg. A decent silk kimono will set you back the best part of a million yen. ③ Kimono are a much less common sight these days and are usually only seen worn by older people or on special occasions. A few older women and even fewer men still wear kimono on a daily basis. I wear kimono when I was in Japan most often at weddings, tea ceremonies, and other very special or very formal occasions. |
