雅思口语：your favorite piece of clothing

近期雅思口语高频话题  

　　雅思口语这一季问your favorite piece of clothing, 我们喜欢一件衣服的原因可以有很多，例如是特殊的人送的，或者特殊场合穿的，或者很简单的就是因为好看，穿着舒服，或者是因为花了很多银子…… 所以，实在不行，就把这些理由都聊聊。去衣柜翻翻你的designer outfit吧!

　　My favorite clothing is a Burberry coat my mom got me.

　　I was thrilled when I first got it, ‘cause I know it’s worth a lot, especially when you buy one in China. It feels great to have an item like that.

　　It’s a classic one, you know, with the iconic pattern and style. The color is beige and it’s made of a material that’s super comfortable, I mean, the texture is soft and it breathes well. I don’t know the exact name of the material. Maybe it’s a kind of artificial fabric. The interesting part is, like I said, it’s beige which is a pretty light color, but it doesn’t get dirty easily. There’s only one downside, which is I couldn’t wash it using the washing machine in my home. I could only send it to the dry cleaner’s. So it always costs me a lot every time I have it washed.

　　I look great in that coat ‘cause it brings out my figure. My friends said I look pretty cool when I wear it. The best part is, it’s windproof, I mean, it can keep me warm in those windy spring days. So you can always see me in that coat when it’s chilly outside.

　　And sometimes you could see my dad walking around in my coat, ‘cause he also likes it a lot, besides we are about the same size, so he always goes to my closet to ‘steal’ it.

　　So … I guess that’s pretty much it.
