Personal Beliefs

The typical paragraph structure for a composition in English includes a THESIS STATEMENT, which contains the main idea of a composition. This statement is usually found at the end of the first paragraph and includes the idea that is further explained in the rest of the composition. Each of the following paragraphs should focus on only one aspect of the main idea, so that means each of those paragraphs has its own topic sentence.

Prepare a short composition ( three paragraphs)based on any of the mottos in Unit 2 (p. 13). Think of a thesis statement and work on your composition. Use these questions to check your composition:
1 Does the idea in the first paragraph clearly state your point of view?
2. Do the examples given in your paragraphs support your thesis statement and clarify your point of view?

Motto: Don’t just get dressed. Make a statement.
The way we dressed is a part elementary of what we do or doing, where we are going to go, etc, almost all the time. We can see men and women with formal clothes, and think that they are working, but also it is not necessary. Kids and other people use uniforms to be identified. Furthermore the way we dress can talk about us.
The clothes we use and how do we use it, is a way to express our personality. The colors of the clothes, the stylish we have and the hairstyle are the things we have to see all days to choose what we are going to use, and these could be related with the feeling that we are experimented at that moment or at that day. Also combined stylish can decipher the personality. With these we can demonstrate security, shyness, intelligence, an unworried person, interesting, etc.
When we are new in a school, one of the things that are related to the first’s relationships is the way we dressed. For example, one could be the people who are “dark”, that use dark clothes; there is not strange to see them all together in a group. This is one case that is more highlighted; they are making a statement, saying they are serious; “dark”.

Motto: Feel confortable. That’s all matters

The way you feel is like people is going to treat you, this aply for the clothes or any behavior we got.
For that i totally agree whit this motto, because, the clothes is an apareance that the wey you feel, there people looks great although wear ugly clothes, but they feel confortables and that transmiting to the other people.

Maybe is not the most expensive clothes or is not the best color combination, but if you feel confortable you going to add points, of course im not talking about going to the office whit a sandals or something like that, we have to follow certain social status, but if we have to use certain clothes, we can try to find some clothes, that dont take off your confortability.

I believe that outfits should be worn depending on what one want to express. What I think is the most important feature of clothing, is to permit clothes to express yourself. Clothes should help me, begging with the first impression, to reflect what I am. They ought to make a statement about me.

Everyone looks like he/she is, no one send the same message that another, even they were wearing exactly the same; that is a consequence of our personality. In others words, the way of a person get along with others and how open up when you meet he/she the first time, shows most the features of a person’s personality.

What is one of the most important things to me is feeling confident. Therefore, when I go shopping, I tend to buy clothes that make me feel in that way, I look for clothes that I really like how I look.

FEEL COMFORTABLE. THAT´S ALL THAT MATTERS.

What I think it is that the first thing that you need check is how you feel, talking in how to wear; I don’t want to say that you will come at Facec in pajamas or if you are the president of Cemex, work in sandals, I mean feel comfortable depends of the place that you stay.

The clothes are important in the places… Because how to look so many times depends how the people treat you. For example it is very common that if you see a guy in the street with earrings, bald, with a t-shirt that probably he can use like a sheet (a Texas boy), you far away from him; probably he is a nice person but if you don’t know, you don’t want to check. In the almost all the companies it is very usual that the office people wear a suit, if they need to do business and represent seriousness.

In conclusion feel comfortable if you work in an office use suit with a shirt and a nice shoes, and but who says that you can’t use a crocodile shoes. (I do not support but respect the people with blue hair of next at Fecec).

Motto: Feel comfortable. That's all matters.
To be honest, I don’t really agree with that motto but it was the closest to my thought.
Many of us like to feel comfortable, so we are always looking for some outfits that make us feel like that. But it might depend on the situation actually.
If we are going to some special event, I don’t think we will look for something that makes us feel comfy. First, we will look for something that looks nice according to the event and then we will look see if it’s comfortable or not.
Nevertheless I think the mottos mentioned in the book depend on the age. If I were 15 years old I think my motto would be different, perhaps “wear the very latest trends!”. I remember when I was 15 years old I was kind of influenced by others. Many of my classmates were wearing some shoes that were “fashionable” according to us (skating shoes). So I remember I also jumped on the bandwagon and decided to wear them too.
But nowadays, when I buy some shoes, I do it thinking if I like them and whether if they are comfortable or not, but I don’t care if my friends will like them.
So anyways, right now my motto is “Feel comfortable. That’s all that matters”, but I can’t say it all the time. I also have to think about the situation, sometimes we have some special occasions and we do have to think about how we look like.

Wear the very latest trends!

Wear the latest trends is not for everyone. Fashionable people enjoy shopping all the time. For example when my sister receive her paycheck just immediately invite someone to buy her new outfit and when she invites me I always get bored and I pray for the end of the day

I’m totally different to my sister. I don’t mind to wear clothes that I have had since I was in high school or wear the same sneakers for 2 years. What really get on my nerves is to buy something I don’t need, so I go shopping only when it’s necessary.

What I pay attention in my outfit is that I like feeling comfortable and most of the time trendy clothes are not for me. In contrast to me, my sister feels that people judge her by the way her dress, thus she always looks up to the minute.

Motto: Your clothes should make a statement about who you are

I think clothes reflect who you are. Each person chooses them according to their feelings, responsability and beliefs.
what i really think is that people transmit what their want by wearing the clothes that they choose. I mean rich people pretend to transmit their richness, others like artists, painters, sculptors wish to transmit their feeling an so on.
something curious about this topic is that most of the people is not aware that they do it mechanically.

i agree with people who think that the most mportat thing in chossing the cloths is the comfortability, but nowadays the most important thing is having in mind the concept that the others could have of one person when choossing clothes

Motto: Don't just get dressed. Make a statement.

Everyone get dressed the way that is more comfortable or the cloths they like. But I think the clothes that we wear describe our way of being or the place where we go. Not always we wear the same clothes; sometimes we have our meetings and dress differently to our usual dress normally, because we’re not going to go with sandals or something like that.

The clothes we use describes our personality, for example if we go to work we should wear formal clothes because that describes our responsibility, seriousness and formality. However if we go at school, we wear a comfortable clothes.

What is really important to me is wear comfortable clothes that I like. I like to look good and nice clothes.

Every day I spend too many hours in front of the mirror trying to figure out what to wear for work, school or just for going out with friends who alse I have spend too many hours choosing the best outfit for the occasion. That´s way I think that fashion shoul be more practical and easy to wear.

After many problems with the process of geating dressed finally I found something that saving me a lot of time, It was black clothing. Now I can wear something during the day that works equally well at night and that will look good even if I wear it in summer or winter.In other words black is always fashion, elegant and practical.

However I belived that fashion is not just what you you look outside, it´s a reflection of who you are on the inside.

The security is very important!

In my opinion, clothes are very important to give a good impression. It is essential to feel comfortable too. I think what it is good although combining both things feel sure of oneself is also important.

I feel that I do not have a style of dress strictly defined. Usually, I wear the first cloth I see. When I buy clothes, I look to be comfortable, and also pretty. My only weakness in fashion are the necklaces, I love them very much.

The most important thing for me is the security and confidence that carry (or use) is not apparent is whether your clothing is expensive brand. As you feel good, people see you as well.

Motto: Don’t just get dressed. Make a statement.

You can wear a comfortable outfit or the latest trends and it is ok, but you have to show everyone who are you and even more important be different from the rest. I have the idea that’s not important the clothes that you wear if you feel good and sure. There’s just two things that you will never forget, the place where you go and social rules, whit this two things the rest doesn’t matter.

When you are dressing up you have to think that a clothe fit you well if you feel comfortable. Is very important to reflect security and really be different from other people. Maybe you can wear the same outfit and demonstrate different personality, security and attitude and that’s the point be different and better from the rest with the same.

So, this is my personal belief about clothes. You don’t need to follow trends or create a new style; you have to be unique, even when you wear the same clothes. Don’t be worried about what you will wear in your next party and start being unique demonstrating your personality by your own style.

People care too much about how they look at the mirror depending on the clothes they wear, but the truth for me is, that thats not really the most important thing. When we know someone we might look a lot to their clothes, their shoes, we check how fancy he/she sees, but for me, thats not correct, but the truth is that i also follow that rules.

What i think is that when we choose the outfit we are going to wear, we check so many things. First, its important we choose something comfortable, but of course also we have to choose fancy clothes with the ones we look great. What i look in the stuff i buy is a mixture of comfort and trend.

Theres all kind of people. There are the ones who only think of their appereance, and theres the others that dont care at all about it. What i really think is that it have to be a mixture between this two kinds of people. Fashion is important but not all in the world.

The majority of the people wear the very latest trends. It is very important. For example the teenagers matters about wearing a specific clothes brand, and follow their favorite actor or singer. Moreover, there are magazines show the last trends.

Magazines have a section about how look like the celebrities to low prices or advice you can wear fashionable clothes or the last trends or TV programs criticize how look like celebrities in the red carpet in the last event

I don´t mind following trends I think each person is unique and decides how look like, but I don´t know people don´t like following trends

Motto: Feel confortable. That’s all matters

When, i wear the clothes i want to wear, i feel very confortable, and there is when i'm expressing who i really am. I hate when people try to fake or pretend they're someone else, because there is no way to know them for how really are.

Personally, i have a look, must of the time i'm wearing the same style, and those who really know me know. But this is the way that i feel more confortable, and also the way i feel myself.

I agree with this motto: Feel confortable. That’s all matters, because when you get dress the way you like or the way you feel, it's when you are how you really are.

Feel comfortable, that's all that matters

In my opinion, people should wear comfortable clothes everyday, because when you wear something that fits you well, it makes you look fresh and beautiful...but not forgetting to match them according to the season and the latest trends.

I love to go shopping. I can spend hours and hours looking for nice clothes, but not only for fashion, I think that you should wear something that reflects who you are. Being fashion its about wearing the very latest trends making you feel confident, not thinking about if the other one likes it.

But no matter what, you have to look comfortable with your clothes, even if their cheap or expensive or if its not by a renamed brand, 'cause it always gives a good impression.

When I choose my clothes, the first thing that I ask myself is: how I want to look.
That’s why is important for me that “don’t just get dressed, make a statement”.

One of the reasons is because the people can see you, they see how you are by the clothes and your style and most of the time what you project is true. Also when you go to an interview, you have to be in an excellent presentation.

Been comfortable is also important, but you can not use tennis in your work (if you work in an office) just because is comfortable, you most have always a good appearance.

I just wear what I want and how I want, I don’t care if it is or not the latest fashion. Just feel good and comfortable and don’t try to follow what everyone wears.

Feel comfortable. That is all matters

People think in different ways about clothes. Some can say that they prefer designer clothes because they like to be at the latest trends, while others can tell you that they like the old styles and some other examples of this type. In any case, this all refers back to every person’s perspective.

In my opinion, the clothes must be comfortable. I think this because if you feel well with your clothes you can do all the things you have to do in the best way and that it is really satisfactory for me. I really like to dress this way; I am not saying that we should only have sporty or easy fit clothes. I have a variety of clothes because depending on the occasion is the clothes that I have to wear, but I do not forget that the outfit should be restful, so all my clothes are like that. When I go to shopping, I spend a lot of time selecting the correct outfits because those are my everyday clothes.

Maybe some people can tell me that my clothes are too simple or that I do not have a style, but this kind of things are not important to me. I have mi relaxed look in every occasion and that is what matters to me.

The outfit is different depends on the day, for example, if you go the job, you need wearing formal, but if you go the school or collage you wearing more casual depends of the type of person or your personality, because the way you dress is make an statement of who you are.

Some people spend a lot of time in choosing the clothes, makeup, or hairstyling, for me it´s something irrational, I mean, I prefer spend that time sleeping or getting some rest.

I think clothes, or the way you dress it´s not the most important but, it´s important because reflect your personality.

Feel comfortable. That´s all matters.

For me this is the motto I feel identified, there are situations that doesn´t apply this phrase like for example when you go to a job interview maybe you dosn´t feel confortable with a tuxedo and you have to wear obligatory if you want to get that job.

Apart for that situations I think that is more important to be confortable but not extra confortable to look weird than try to apparent someone other than you or worry about what others though.
