Через тернии к звездам.Не все то золото, что блестит.По одежке встречают, по уму провожают.Каждому стоит заниматься своим делом.В наряде пригож, а без него на пень похож.Потихоньку-помаленьку.

homework the whole evening yesterday. Was it magnificent?

Kate: Umm… It was terrific! No one should lose sleep over trying to be on the cutting edge of fashion. They demonstrated John Galliano’s collection. He is an unusual designer but I like his things.

Dear Gemma,Hi! How are you? I finally persuaded my mum

to take me shopping yesterday. It was great! I tried (1) on lots of clothes and I was amazed (2)at/by the choice in all of shops. It reminded me (3)of the time we went shopping when you came to stay. We had a lot of fun, didn’t we?

Anyway, I found one of those jackets that are (4)in fashion at the moment – but couldn’t do it (5)up!

I needed a bigger size, but they didn’t have any. Oh, well. Maybe I’ll have another look (6)at the end of this week. I bought some shoes, though they ‘re similar (7)to the ones you’ve got, the pink ones. I have them (8)on at the moment and they look great!

Oh, and you know that old blouse I had? Well, I’ve changed it (9)into a T-shirt! I cut the sleeves (10)off and now I’ll be perfect for the summer.

I have to go now. Write soon and tell me all your news.

Lots of love,Olivia
