3 What do they like to wear?

Read the text and fill in the headings with `John', `Pat' or `Susan'.

John Pat

Susan

When I'm at work, I wear formal clothes. I usually wear a shirt and tie with a smart pair of trousers and
black shoes. But when I'm at home or out with my friends, I prefer to wear casual clothes and I like
light colours. I usually wear jeans all year round. If it's a warm day, I usually wear a T-shirt. When it's
cold, I always wear a sweater and a warm jacket. I hardly ever wear a T-shirt in winter.
2

When I'm at work, I need to look smart. I usually wear a grey business dress and a pair of black shoes.
Outside work, I sometimes wear formal clothes. For example when I'm in an expensive restaurant or
at a dinner party, I usually wear a long dress. Purple, red and black are my favourite colours. At home,
I normally wear casual clothes. I like wearing shorts, T-shirts and trainers.
3

In my work, I can wear anything I want, so I usually wear something casual, for example a T-shirt and
jeans, because it's more comfortable. If it's really hot, I sometimes wear shorts and sandals! I don't
wear different clothes when I'm not at work and I don't have a favourite colour. I never wear formal
clothes because I don't feel comfortable in a suit. But I sometimes wear a white shirt.
