Hi, I’m Fadi. The best thing about my job as a taxi driver is that I am my own boss! I can have a break anytime I want, take a day off when I’m tired and go on long holidays. I also don’t have to wear formal clothes – I can wear casual clothes all the time. My favourite colour is red. I always find myself picking red, striped jumpers when shopping for trendy new clothes.
Hi there, my name’s Danielle. As a manager, I have to work five days a week and stay at the office for long hours. I don’t have much time to exercise during the week, that’s why I decided to take up cycling at the weekends. I need to wear comfortable clothes that are practical, but they’re not very fashionable! I always make sure to wear bright colours when cycling on the road so drivers can see me. Hello, my name’s Peter. Today is a special day for me – I’m getting married! I have to look especially smart. I usually don’t spend much time choosing something from my wardrobe, but today is different. I hardly ever wear formal clothes, but for my wedding day I have to wear a suit and a tie.
