Activity 2

What do Londoners wear?

Meet Londoners Stuart, Charlotte and Ed. We asked them to tell us about their clothes.

One of them said he (or she) is 'quite scruffy' - who do you think it is?

Listen out for the verbs our Londoners use. We'll take a closer look at them later.

Stuart

My name is Stuart. I am an accountant.

I'm wearing a dark blue suit with a white shirt and black shoes.

I normally wear a suit every day. At the weekends I wear different clothes. Normally shorts, t-shirt, hoodie.

Charlotte

Hi, my name's Charlotte. I work in branding.

Right now I'm wearing a grey jumper, some black jeans and some black trainers.

I am quite scruffy but normally I wear smarter clothes.

But at the weekend, I'm smart casual.

Ed

My name's Ed. I'm a graphic designer.

I'm wearing a red hoodie, some black jeans and some grey trainers.

For work, I wear casual clothes, occasionally smart clothes. It's alright if I wear scruffy clothes at work, as long as it's not every day.

Yeah - at weekends I wear jeans and a t-shirt as well.
