Some people say it is possible to tell a lot about a person’s culture and character from their choice of clothes. Do you agree or disagree?

#people #person’s #culture #character #choice #clothes
It is a common belief that the attire of a
person
 reflects a lot of information. Many people argue that a
person
’s
culture
 and
character
 can be predicted by one’s choice of clothes. I agree that clothes can implicate a
person
’s
culture
, but I don’t believe that
character
 can be judged by the
way
 people
dress
 up. It is a well-known fact that people from different regions
dress
 up differently, and the majority of these dresses are heavily influenced by the
culture
 of that particular region. Many people prefer to follow a common
dress
 code which is appreciated in their ethnicity or region.
For example
, Muslim women prefer to wear a veil to cover their heads and bodies.
Furthermore
, Pakistani women prefer to wear a particular style of shirt and a trouser which reflects the Pakistani
culture
. By looking at
this
 unique
way
 of dressing or covering the body, one can easily predict their
culture
 and religion.
Therefore
,
culture
 and the
way
 people
dress
 up are strongly interlinked.
Character
,
however
, is the moral and mental thinking of an individual which has no link with the
way
 people
dress
 up. Personal
character
 is a completely distinctive quality. A group of people living in the same community and sharing the same patterns of clothing,
culture
, profession, and religion can have different types of characters.
For example
, in a country a criminal and a common man could be wearing the same
dress
 while their actions and mentality could be completely different from each other.
Therefore
, it is hardly possible to predict one’s
character
 from the
way
 a
person
 dresses up. In conclusion, the
culture
 of a
person
 can indeed be predicted by looking at one’s attire, but it’s impossible to predict the
character
 of a
person
 just by the choice of clothes.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
