Clothes and Fashion
People have various attitudes to fashion. Some are indifferent and do not care what they wear. Others, mostly women, are very choosy about what clothes to wear and like to spend a lot of money on them. Most people buy ready-made clothes at clothes shops or second-hand shops, but there are those who like to have their clothes made at the tailor's. There are some people who dress to the latest fashion even if it does not suit them. It seems to be their hobby to follow the fashion magazines and see what leading designers present.
Fashion concerns not only clothes, but also hair style, makeup and accessories, such as shoes, handbags, gloves, belts, hats, scarves or jewellery and glasses. Styles, cuts, designs and particularly the length of clothes change very quickly because dressmaking has become big business nowadays. Fashions often revert to older styles; what is out of fashion, funny or ridiculous now, may look romantic a few decades later.
The way we dress also depends on our taste, on the season and the proper occasion. In summer we usually wear light summer dresses, shorts or Bermuda shorts and various T-shirts. The usual summer footwear is sandals and flip-flops.
In winter people wear something warm - trousers, jeans, cardigans and jumpers. People also wear anoraks, winter coats and jackets, sometimes even fur coats outside.
On special occasions people usually dress up. When going to a concert or to the theatre, evening dresses and suits are appropriate. For sports people put on sportswear, such as sports trousers, jeans, shorts, T-shirts and trainers.
The most popular types of clothes with teenagers are jeans or trousers, shirts and T-shirts of different colours, sweatshirts or pullovers and trainers. Boots and shoes of the "Converse" shoe company are very popular with the young people now.
As for me, my favourite articles of clothes are jeans, T-shirts and trainers. At my school pupils must wear a uniform, so I don't have a problem with what to put on when I go to school. When I- go out, I prefer something comfortable like jeans and a sweatshirt. I try to follow the fashion, but fashionable clothes are rather expensive and since I haven't got a job yet, I have to ask my parents for pocket money. I usually buy clothes at a market and choose clothes similar to the ones that are in fashion at the moment. This saves money!
Some people do not choose their clothes to the latest fashion. They wear what suits them, what is comfortable and what they can afford.
1896 году французский физик Антуан Анри Беккерель 1 _ _ _ _ _ исследовал соли урана. Он случайно оставил немного урана лежащим на некоторых фотографических пластинках-стеклянных пластинках, которые использовались в фотографии до того, как была снята пленка 2. 3 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ пластинки были завернуты в толстую черную бумагу, чтобы защитить их от света, через некоторое время Беккерель обнаружил, что они были открыты, так же, как если бы они лежали на солнце. Он спрашивал себя, как это случилось. Он повторил эксперимент и в конце концов пришел к выводу, что соль урана испускает неизвестные лучи, похожие на рентгеновские, которые могут проходить через толстую черную бумагу. Таким образом, радиоактивность 7 _ _ _ _ _ обнаружена. Эта история демонстрирует некоторые важные качества ума ученого: желание понять, почему что-то происходит так, как оно происходит, и воображение, которое сделало Беккереля 8 новым, оригинальным объяснением. В 1903 году Анри Беккерель получил Нобелевскую премию по физике за свое открытие.

Объяснение:
In 1896 the French physicist Antoine Henri Becquerel (was) investigating uranium salts. He accidentally left a bit of uranium lying on some photographic plates - glass plates which were used in photography before film was (invented).
(Because*) the plates were wrapped in thick black paper to protect them from light, after some time Becquerel found out that they had been exposed, just as if they had been lying in the sun. He asked himself how this (had) happened. He repeated the experiment and finally (came) to the conclusion that the uranium salt emitted unknown rays, similar (to) X-rays, which could pass through thick black paper. In this way radioactivity (was) discovered.
The story shows some important qualities of a scientist's mind: the desire to understand why something happens the way it does, and the imagination which made Becquerel (think) of a new, original explanation. In 1903, Henri Becquerel won the Nobel (prize) in Physics for his discovery.
