People spend too much
time and money on fashion.
Do you agree or
disagree?
Every season, the great fashion
houses of Europe and America present their new collections in the hope of
persuading people to purchase their latest designs. In my opinion, one does not
have to be a slave to fashion in order to look smart.
To start with, following the
latest trends in fashion can be extremely expensive. This is especially true
for those who buy costly designer clothing.
In addition to this, followers of
fashion often give up their individuality and choose clothes which suit neither
their figures nor their personalities. This is unfortunate, as the way we dress
should reflect who we really are.
On the other hand, some people
argue that it is necessary to dress fashionably in order to create the correct
image for their careers. This does not
mean that the latest fashions are the most appropriate, however. Simple but
well-made clothes are almost always the best choice for business wear.
To conclude, I strongly believe
that it is advisable to dress with style by choosing good quality clothes that
suit you and have lasting elegance. As the famous designer Coco Chanel put it, “Fashion is
made to become unfashionable.” So instead of changing your wardrobe constantly,
isn’t it better to build up a collection of clothes which you can always wear?
Will life be better in the future?
Can you imagine doing your
shopping without having to leave the house, or working at home rather than
going to the office? I am convinced that life in the future will be much more
pleasant than it is today.
In the first place, there will be
many improvements in the field of medicine. Scientists are confident that cures
for diseases such as cancer and AIDS will have been found. Therefore, the lives
of thousands of people will be saved.
Also, new technological
breakthroughs will make our lives easier. Computers will be able to perform
more time-saving functions, transport will be faster and more efficient and new
inventions will continue to help us carry out daily tasks with ease and
comfort.
On the other hand, there are
those who believe that life in the future will not be so trouble-free. We will
have used up the world’s natural resources, therefore our planet will be on the
verge of destruction.What is more, some
fear that pollution will have increased due to problems such as deforestation, acid rain, oil spills and similar.
All in all, I feel that life in
the future will definitely be better. We are all searching for ways to improve
our lives and we can only look ahead in order to do this.
