GOAL CHECK

1. Do you agree or disagree with each statement? Why? Write notes in your notebook. (Em đồng ý hay không đồng ý với mỗi phát biểu? Tại sao? Viết ghi chú vào vở)

Ví dụ:

The statements that I agree are:

3. School uniforms are a good idea. => because Uniforms help students be equal with each other at school and show discipline and teamwork.

6. Women spend more money on clothes than men. => because women usually pay more attention to appearance and fashion than men. Therefore, they like to buy beautiful, trendy clothes.

The statements that I disagree are:

1. Bowler hats are popular in my country. => In my country, bowler hats aren't so popular, only some fashionistas and people like and use them.

2. People with stylish clothes are always rich. => Dressing fashionably or not depends on the aesthetic ability and dress coordination of each person, you don't need to be rich to be able to dress well.

4. Stylish shoes are better than comfortable ones. => Footwear is for movement, so in my opinion, comfort should come first, then form.

5. Men should always wear suits to work. => I think it is unnecessary. When going to work, we need to wear polite and the clothes you choose should be suitable for your job.

7. Fashion in the 20th century was better than it is now. => Fashion is a cycle and it is beautiful or not depends on the taste and preferences of each person. Everyone will have a different view of fashion.

8. Most people like shopping for clothes. => This is not true for most men. Men don't like to invest in clothes as much as women. They like electronics and technology more than clothes.

2. In groups, discuss the statements. Give your opinions with the reasons for your answers. (Làm việc theo nhóm, thảo luận về các phát biểu. Đưa ra ý kiến với lý do cho câu trả lời của em)
