Some people say that 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 #culture #character #choice #clothes
Throughout the history, people have always been different when it comes to their choice of clothes.
This
 can be due to many reasons.
For instance
, their social atmosphere influences them in a certain way that drives them to choose a specific thing to wear.
However
, before they choose clothes, they
firstly
 do a background process that enables them to define their style. Relevantly,
this
 process involves psychological aspects that enables the person to define what is mostly in a perfect alignment with her or his character. Overall, the fusion between the personal preferences, the inner voice of the mind, and the chosen clothes, reflects a lot about an individual's culture, environment, and perspective.
Additionally
, there are many factors that affect the assessment of a one's outlook,
such
 as the financial conditions, social inheritances, and exposure to different cultures, places and people. These factors play the most role in shaping interest in a specific look.
On the other hand
, assessing people by entirely judging their outlooks, could lead to false conclusions.
Moreover
,
this
 can hurt the feelings of people as the judgments could be unfair.
For instance
, I witnessed a situation when a friend of mine was extremely annoyed by a man working in a store, who made a comment about a hole in my friend's shoes, while not realizing that my friend has hit a rock by accident just before entering the shop, which resulted in cutting the shoes.
Such
 situation implies that we should avoid stereotyping.
However
,
this
 is not always the case,
for example
, we can tell that a man is not so generous if he avoids paying his check repeatedly during outings with his friends, while being in good financial and work conditions that allow him to buy very expensive international brands of clothes during the same outings.
This
 has been
also
 a case that I witnessed.

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
