Changes to school cafeteria menu

The contract to operate the school cafeteria has been given to The Sea Shore Restaurant. The school administration has decided that a more healthy choice of foods should be available for the students. The menu includes many seafood dishes, with a few choices of chicken for people who do not like fish. There is also a good choice of vegetarian dishes. The usual hamburgers and pizza will only be available from time to time. By doing this, the school is following new government guidelines about healthy food choices. We hope the students are happy with this healthy change.

Clothes and personality

Fashion, or what we wear, is a very personal thing. We can show our personality by the clothes we wear. We need to find clothes that we like and that make us look our best. This is something that we have to do all through our lives so it is good to start choosing our clothes to suit our needs while we are still teenagers. That way we will develop the habit that will stay with us when we get older.

According to the speaker, why is it important to choose clothes when you are a teenager? What does he suggest to help people choose?
Preparation time: 30 seconds
Response time: 60 seconds

Possible answer: According to the speaker, it's better to start choosing clothes we like and enjoy while we are still teenagers. Reading magazines for our age about the new fashions and talking with our friends to see what they are planning to wear can help. If we try to have clothes in a casual style and something a little more formal, we will have the right ones to wear for every occasion.

So she needed informal clothes and a little more formal clothes on the same day but she couldn't go home to change. Sally suggested that she take a bag with more formal clothes and use the park facilities to change. I think it was a good idea because that way Judy could enjoy the picnic and the birthday party.
