The nearest thing to the theatre that many people 1​ (actually) manage to see is their 2​ (favourite) TV soap. For true fans it is an essential part of life, bringing emotional topics for 3​ (discussions) into the home and 4​(raising) issues that will be talked about in work-places and school playgrounds up and down the country the 5​(following) day. Far from 6​(providing) Hollywood-style escapism, the storylines in today's soaps aim right at the heart of current moral dilemmas 7​(faced) by ordinary people. The 8​(acting) is often of the highest standard, with the leading actors managing to give top-class 9​(performance) three times a week, week after week, 10​(producing) what many consider to be some of the most 11​(powerful) drama in recent years.

Объяснение:

Fashion is popularity, the dominance of a particular taste or style in a particular area. For example, in the field of sewing ready-made clothes. Fashion is transitory, that is, it tends to change. Down jackets with luminous stripes are in fashion today. And tomorrow the fashion changes, quilted coats with goth patterns and curls become fashionable.

For example, in some season, the classic style of clothing is popular among the population. Snow-white collars, strict features of suits, glossy black skirts, clarity and neatness in everything! And the other season already presents a fantasy or romantic style. Here, on the streets of cities, wide skirts with lace and ruffles, transparent sleeves of blouses are massively fluttering in the wind. The gaze stops at embroidered corsets and the same embroidered jackets, weird hats, multi-colored shawls with tassels.

Fashion exists every day, there is festive. For example, it is fashionable to wear colored shirts for every day. For a holiday, it is fashionable to wear short black dresses with open shoulders on thin spaghetti straps.

The Style is somewhat different. This is not a fashion. Style is a certain accent, an image that suits a person's taste. Style is expressed in clothing, shoes, furniture, home furnishings, architecture of buildings and other structures. And there are many other ways that style can be expressed. Stylish does not mean fashionable. Although both words are often said as a compliment to a person. For example, "You are so stylish!"

In the modern world, both fashion and style are diverse. Like the world itself, they are full of masses of interesting events and manifestations. How many styles are there now in just one furniture design? And only recognized styles? Ten? Fifty? It seems to me that with all styles and  will be at least a hundred!
