For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question. “ What clothes in fashion?” And they use the adjective (形容词) “fashionable” in the same way. “She was wearing a fashionable coat.” “His shirt was in a really fashionable color.”

  But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays , in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs and in languages.

  Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.

  Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is national. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and televisions send information from one country to another in a few hours.

  New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.

Eating

  An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this, “I'm afraid it'll have to be some place cheap, as I have very little money.” The other person may say, “OK, I'll meet you at McDonald's.”

  This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith's”, or “I want you to try the Chinese dumplings. They're great.” This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn't pay for the meal. You may just say. “Thank you. That would be very nice.”

  American customs about who pays for dates are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in business world will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means “Come, as my guest.” So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make question clear at the very beginning.

[  ]
