CLASS #3 The Languages of Clothes

1. Do you judge people according to what they wear? Why?

Umm..I have never thought like that, but I may do. If someone who I meet the first time wears very conspicuous clothes, I will think she/he is outgoing or talkative person. It is just my way of thinking, but I think that outward appearances show their identity.

2. Do you think Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judging other people from another country?

Yes, I agree. Clothes, outward appearance and first impression are considered very important in many situations in Japan. I think that Japanese society pays attention too much on like this issue.

3. What colors are you wearing now? Do they reflect your mood?

I'm in my room, so I wear pyjamas. Yeah, they reflect my mood because I feel so relaxed.

1. What are some subjects that you will never discuss with a friend?

I discuss with my best friend about anything like friends, boyfriend, family etc.

2. Do you have different friends for different parts of your life? If so, how are they different to you? Do you talk about different things? Go to different places? Give me some examples.

Yes, I have friends at my university, high school, junior high school and part time job place. Friends at university and high school are very valuable because I spend much time with them, and they are very close. I often go out with them, but I seldom go out with friends at junior high school. Friends at part time job place are very nice, and I sometimes have lunch or dinner with them, but I don't talk about serious things with them.
