Looking Good
How do we look good? People’s ideas about that have sometimes changed. About 400 years
ago, people in Europe wore big white collars around their necks. You can see one in this painting
of a woman from Holland. In Ancient China, yellow was the emperor’s color. Only the emperor
could wear yellow clothes.
To look good today, men wear ties, and women wear scarves or jewelry. The head and neck
have always been important in the design of clothes. When we meet people, we usually look at
the top half of their body their face and their eyes.
Some people want to look rich and important. They buy expensive clothes made by famous
designers. Presidents and politicians usually wear expensive clothes.

On Saturday morning I never wake up too late. I’d rather wake me up at dawn than lie slugging in a bed till midday. After drinking a cup of coffee, I spend 15 minutes on reading the news about politics. As always they promise to give people high salary and pension but their words speak louder than actions and not the reverse. I don’t get upset, drink another cup of coffee and prepare for a journey to the movies.
Sometimes I change this plan and go to the exhibition if there’s one in my town. I love visiting operas, theaters and plays too, but last Saturday all tickets were reserved in advance. When I came up to a box-office, a ticket seller told me that it was late – no tickets left.
As a rule, my day off is always full of events. I never get bored and even if there’s no place where I might go to, I make an effort to do my best and spend this day productively. I read books or learn something, do sports and make plans for the next weekends.
