1. Bài mẫu (Sample)
Fashion has always been something that I’ve taken a keen interest in; therefore, the manner in which a person dresses themselves is usually the first thing I notice. And an individual who is known for her impeccable sense of style is Zendaya.
In case you don’t know, Zendaya is an American actress who kickstarted her career on numerous shows on Disney Channel before taking the film industry by storm by appearing in a variety of big blockbuster hits such as Spiderman or Dune.
Aside from her acting endeavors, her garments have also allowed Zendaya to make headlines the world over. In fact, ever since teaming up with her renowned stylist, Law Roach, she has quickly become a household name in the world of fashion and often garnered tremendous media attention whenever she stepped onto the red carpet.
And in my opinion, the main reason why the public is so enamored with Zendaya’s style would have to be the fact that she can effortlessly pull off any garment she puts on, from daily casual outfits to eccentric & avant-garde couture designs. This can be put down to her model-like physique as well as her ability to strike a pose like no other. A perfect example for this would be the time when she donned the one-of-a-kind Mugler metallic robot-suit at the premiere for the movie Dune. She then fiercely posed for the myriad of paparazzi in the incredibly restrictive outfit, which fitted her like a glove even without having to be altered. The ensuing reaction online was overwhelmingly positive as people, myself included, expressed their obsession with the ensemble and showered her with praise. All in all, I believe it’s safe to regard Zendaya as one of the biggest fashion icons of our time.

Part 3:
1. Do you think online shopping will replace in-store shopping in the future? Why?
I believe buying items on e-commerce platforms will take over as the primary method of shopping in the future but to an extent. On the one hand, due to its convenience and the easy access to an abundance of options as well as vouchers, more and more consumers are now gravitating towards shopping online. However, going to actual brick-and-mortar stores offers customers a more hands-on and tactile experience, which just cannot be replaced by that of its virtual counterpart.
- Gravitate towards: bị thu hút bởi, có xu hướng nghiêng về
- Brick-and-mortar: thực tế, vật lý (chỉ cửa hàng kinh doanh truyền thống)
- Hands-on: mang tính thực tế, trải nghiệm thực tế
- Tactile: có thể sờ, chạm được
2. Why is fashion very important to some people?
Fashion plays a significant role in some individuals’ lives for a variety of reasons. But in my opinion, chief of which would have to be the fact that they view their style as an extension of their personalities. In other words, people use their outfits to convey themselves, especially their taste and characteristics, which would’ve been challenging to express using words. For instance, in a public setting, you can take a quick glance at a person’s clothes to get an idea of who they are as a person and decide whether or not you want to befriend them.
- Convey: truyền tải (ý tưởng, cảm xúc)
3. Are older people as fashionable as young people? Why?
It depends on each person. On the one hand, many senior citizens tend to opt for a utilitarian style, meaning they prioritize comfort over aesthetics. Therefore, they don’t pay much attention to how stylish their outfits are, as long as they are comfortable. That being said, there are definitely those who are older that can put together impeccable ensembles. Moreover, more and more vintage styles are back in vogue in recent years, and who else understands them more thoroughly than the people who lived through that era themselves?
- Opt for: lựa chọn
- Utilitarian: mang tính thực dụng
- Impeccable: hoàn hảo
- Ensemble: bộ trang phục
- In vogue: hợp thời, thịnh hành
4. Are women more fashionable than men? Why?
I’d contend that whether or not a person is fashionable is completely unrelated to gender. As long as that individual is aware of what suits their physical attributes and has a clear view of what style and aesthetic they’re going for, they will be able to pull off any outfit. As a result, I don’t agree that women in general are more stylish compared to men.
- Pull off: mặc đẹp/thành công với điều gì đó (thường khó)
5. What kinds of people need to know fashion well?
A certain amount of knowledge for fashion is something that everyone should possess, but when it comes to acquiring a firm grasp on this subject, I think it would have to be people who work in the fashion industry. Not only does it help them in their daily life to be able to mix and match items together to form a decent fit, they also require the technical know-how regarding fashion to make a living. For instance, a designer has to have their finger on the pulse, especially what’s currently trending, in order to produce the best pieces of garment that appeal to clients.
- Garment: trang phục
- A firm grasp on: sự hiểu biết sâu sắc
- Know-how: kỹ năng, kiến thức thực tiễn
- Have one’s finger on the pulse: nắm bắt xu hướng, cập nhật thời cuộc
