20 分钟Hello, hello you listener and welcome into IELTS Picking part 2.
Describe a person who you think wears unusual clothes.
You should say who this person is, how you knew this person,
what his or her clothes are like and explain why you think his or her clothes are unusual.
Lori, give us your story.
Well, my mum is a pretty snappy dresser, I think,
even if some of her choices are a bit out of the ordinary at times.
When it comes to how I know her, well, it's my mother, so obviously I've known her my whole life.
She's a former fashion editor for a few magazines in my country,
though I don't think most of them, or any of them in fact, are in circulation anymore.
And people in that line of work tend to be a bit more experimental with their dress sense,
don't they?
In terms of what she wears, oh well, the sky really is the limit in this case.
It's everything from fake fur, to real fur,
to things encrusted with rhinestones like something Dolly Parton would wear.
And that goes for everything from the shirts,
jackets she wears right down to the shoes, and what she accessorizes with.
I think she was wearing a denim and fake fur waistcoat over this black shirt with black and white pinstripe trousers the other day.
So that should give you an idea of what it's like.
Even in her 60s she's still experimenting with things like that and pushing boundaries of fashion choices.
