Looking good, feeling good

Born to a model mom and a suit maker dad, fashion was actually in my blood. I always had a strong desire to dress in a certain way and to stand out from the crowd.

I made my own toys when I was a young child and sewed my first skirt at just 10 years old. A friend’s mother took one look at my skirt and told me that I should be a patternmaker. In high school I started making my own clothes, mostly changing other things because I never liked anything how it was when I bought it. During the last two years of school, I worked part-time for a small business that made hand-painted silk clothing and bags. The owner became the teacher who got me into design in the first place. Another useful bit of work experience then came when I worked at a showroom during fashion week and found it very exciting. From there I worked at a top clothing store while I got my business started.

For my business I started out with the idea that everything I did would be hand-made and one-of-a-kind, specially made for one individual who hopefully had the same tastes as me. Every morning I jumped out of bed, went to my studio and worked on my projects. This just showed how enthusiastic I felt about my work. And at night I even dreamed of new designs!

Fashion design is functional art. What I mean is that it’s something close to you and something you can touch and feel, and actually interact with. My advice to any young person who wants to be a fashion designer is to get the basic skills early on, such as sewing and pattern-making. Even if you end up specializing, it’s really important to understand all aspects of design in order to make high-quality clothes.

Also, if you dream of having your own clothing line, the best thing to do is start wearing your clothes. You have to try and do this because that’s the way you’re going to develop something that’s all yours and unlike anyone else’s. I passionately believe that the right clothing can make people feel better and give them more confidence.

1.When the author was in high school, she ______.

A. wore the latest fashions

B. was fond of hand-painted clothing

C. began to make clothes on her own

D. dressed in the same way as her classmates

2.What does the underlined word “functional” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Practical. B. Standard. C. Decorative. D. Complex.

3.What advice does the author give to those who want to be fashion designers?

A. Creating basic designs in high school.

B. Wearing high-quality clothes all the time.

C. Looking at what their friends are wearing.

D. Deciding what is unique about their clothes.

4.According to the author, well-designed clothes _______.

A. cost people a lot of money

B. bring people great success

C. provide people with popular taste

D. help people feel sure of themselves

There are many people think that wealth is better than health. I used to think so until one day I had read a story about Howard Joyce. He was an European billionaire who got everything he wanted. Therefore, in the last twenty years of his life, his health began to get worse and he led a terribly life. Although the best doctors called for him, he could still find no relief. I have realized that health is worth all the money in the world. If you have million of dollars but you are at poor health, you will not be able to do what you want to do. So I would like to advise you not to hurt yourself and trying to make money. Instead, take care of your body and be happy with which you do. Health is more important.
