Molly

Molly

Hi everyone! My name is Molly. First, I would like to tell you something about myself.

I am a 17-year-old student and I live with my parents and my two brothers in Boston. We live in a house in the suburbs. Let me tell you something about my usual school day, as well as my hobbies and interests.

My day during the week usually starts at half past seven. I have to get up early because I take the bus to school and it takes me half an hour in the morning to leave my big, comfortable bed and get dressed for school. I never prepare my clothes the night before, so I’m always in a hurry.

My first class begins at 8 o’clock and I stay there until 3 o’clock. After lunch we usually have PE or arts so it’s never boring. I like exercising because it keeps me fit and healthy. After coming home, I usually chat to my friends online or talk to my parents while they cook dinner. Then I do my homework or read a book. I adore reading, although most of my friends hate it.

But what I like the most is fashion and I hope to have a job in the fashion industry one day. I don’t shop for clothes very often, but I surf the net for inspiration and carefully work on my own fashion designs. I especially like going to second hand shops with my friend Leon, another fashion enthusiast, where we look for vintage clothes which we work on to create something new and special.

Michael

In this photo, I am wearing my favourite black jeans, black trainers and a red hoodie.

I enjoy wearing comfortable clothes that also look good and stylish. I can’t stand wearing very tight jeans, I prefer the slim ones.

I don't like painting my nails, like some boys do, or wearing earrings or piercings, but I take special care of my hair. I usually put some styling gel in it because it looks smart and neat.

Molly, all dressed up

I like this photo very much because in it I am wearing my favourite vintage dress which I bought in a small second hand shop in London, while I was there with my parents.

I can’t afford to buy new glamorous dresses, but vintage ones are really special and beautiful. I needed to do some adjustments to the dress, but I didn’t have a problem with that because my mom helped me with sawing.

I avoid wearing jewellery during the week, but when I go out, I put on a necklace, some bracelets and rings and I then I feel great! I even put on some make-up when I want to look a bit more serious.

What is Molly wearing?

Where did she buy the dress?

Who helped her to make adjustments to the dress?

Why does she put on makeup?
