Clothes are an important part of modern life. it’s hard to imagine how people can live without clothes. there are various styles of clothes nowadays, so people can choose what to wear on different occasions. as for me, i have a good collection of clothes in my wardrobe. there are a couple of school suits which are of classic style. then i have some jeans and t-shirts for casual days. and at last, i have a couple of bright dresses for parties or special occasions. most of all i like wearing ordinary jeans with matching shirts. i think it’s not only convenient but also stylish. as for shoes, i prefer wearing sports shoes or sneakers but i need to wear some classic black shoes to school. i don’t like high heels because they are uncomfortable. i always try to keep my clothes and shoes neat. i think that clothes tell a lot about people and can make a strong impression. so if they are tidy and nice the impression will be positive. the choice of clothes also depends on seasons and weather conditions. in winter, for example, it’s important to have a warm coat and a pair of boots. a jacket and rubber boots would be nice for spring and autumn. however, my favourite time is summer, when everyone can wear light t-shirts and shorts, or sarafan and sandals.

My favourite holidayмой любимый праздникmy name is alexandra, i’m thirteen years old. my favourite holiday is my birthday. on this day i get up early, but by that time my mother already cooks food for a festive table in the kitchen. in the morning my family and friends begin to give presents and congratulate me. my parents and younger brother always want me to remember this day for a long time that’s why they decorate the flat with many-coloured little balls. on this day a lot of my friends and relations usually come to see me. when we all get together we sit down to table and begin to celebrate my birthday. everybody has a good time dances and communicates with each other, the music plays loudly. at the end of the holiday we turn off the lights and my father brings a big cake with candles. i must blow out the candles and make a wish. after that we have tea with a cake and then we dismiss the guests. i would like to celebrate my birthday every month because all our relations and friends can meet together on this day. i grow up every year but my birthday always remains the most unforgettable holiday of the year
