Do you think the fashion industry must consider environmental issues more?

Bạn có nghĩ rằng ngành công nghiệp thời trang cần quan tâm nhiều hơn đến các vấn đề môi trường không?

[POINT]Point

The fashion industry should consider environmental issues much more because clothing production uses large amounts of water, energy and raw materials.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Brands need to cut down on textile waste and design products that last longer.

[EXAMPLE]Example

They can use sustainable materials, improve recycling and support circular fashion through repair or resale programmes.

[EXTEND]Extend

Consumers also have a role, but producers control design and production at scale, so industry action can create much larger environmental improvements.

Part 3Topic 9 - Shopping & MoneyEasy-Intermediate

Do you think fashion design is a meaningful art form?

Bạn có nghĩ thiết kế thời trang là một loại hình nghệ thuật có ý nghĩa không?

[POINT]Point

I think fashion design can be a meaningful art form because it combines visual ideas with practical objects.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Designers use colour, shape, texture and cultural references as forms of artistic expression.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A collection may communicate a visual concept about identity, history or social change in the same way an exhibition can.

[EXTEND]Extend

Fashion is also functional art because people actually wear it, which makes the relationship between creativity and everyday life especially interesting.

Part 3Topic 9 - Shopping & MoneyEasy-Intermediate

What kinds of things do people usually lose?

Mọi người thường làm mất những thứ gì?

[POINT]Point

People usually lose small everyday items such as keys, phones, wallets, cards and earphones.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Personal belongings are easy to misplace because people carry them between many locations during the day.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Someone may leave keys on a café table or forget a phone in a taxi.

[EXTEND]Extend

Small valuables are lost more often than large objects simply because they are easier to overlook, especially when people are tired, distracted or in a hurry.

Part 3Topic 9 - Shopping & MoneyEasy-Intermediate

What do people often do when losing things?

Mọi người thường làm gì khi bị mất đồ?

[POINT]Point

When people lose something, they usually look for it in the places they visited most recently.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Retracing steps is effective because many lost items are simply left behind rather than stolen.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Someone may call a restaurant, taxi company or lost-and-found desk after checking their bag and pockets.

[EXTEND]Extend

If the item contains identification or tracking technology, contacting the owner or locating the device becomes easier, but acting quickly still improves the chance of recovery.

Part 3Topic 9 - Shopping & MoneyEasy-Intermediate

Is it an effective way to use rewards to find lost things?

Liệu việc sử dụng phần thưởng để tìm đồ thất lạc có phải là một cách hiệu quả?

[POINT]Point

Offering a reward can be effective, especially for valuable or difficult-to-replace items.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

A reward incentive gives the finder an extra reason to contact the owner instead of ignoring the situation.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Someone who finds a lost pet, wallet or important document may respond faster if a reasonable cash reward is offered.

[EXTEND]Extend

However, rewards are not always necessary because many people return lost property voluntarily, and public lost-and-found systems can also improve the recovery rate.
