Clothes! Going Shopping!

Week 9^th -11^th February

Hello!

Another week went by (finished)

Last week we read about the founder of Zara shops.

According to the text, the reason for the success of these shops is that the store reacts quickly to the latest designer fashions. They can produce fashionable but inexpensive clothes. Zara can make a new line of clothes in three weeks. Besides, they change the clothes from week to week.

But, to be able to do this, it’s necessary to have a good team behind - according to Raquel.

According to Juan, the reason for their success is that Amancio Ortega had a good idea and he was able to put it into practice becoming an entrepreneur. And working hard!

We read about clothes with a tradition.

·         Do you know what a ‘balaclava’ is? It’s a woollen hat.

·         Did you know where it got its name from? From the battle of Balaclava, in the Crimea war.

·         What did you know about ‘wellies’? Not much; but now you know that they are the traditional rubber boots that we wear when it rains. And that they are named after (had their name from) Wellington, a British soldier.

·         What’s a ‘cardigan’? It’s   a short woollen coat with buttons. It got its name after another British soldier, Lord Cardigan.
