Нужно пропуски правильно вставить( нужно ) fashion for kids last week, i bought my nine-year-old son a new pair of trainers that were reduced in a sale. but afterwards he didn’t seem very happy with our bargain. i seriously thought about taking the shoes back to the shop to exchange them for a more expensive and fashionable make. but why should i pay money i can’t afford, or get into debt just because of peer pressure? one boy in my son’s class wears jewellery and clothes with designer labels to school. he even wears calvin klein aftershave! and he isn’t old enough to shave! i spoke to him and he told me why he had to have the latest fashions. one day he had worn his old trainers to school. when his pals saw him, they called him a tramp! he went straight home and put on his new trainers. his mum isn’t well off, but she always finds the money so that he looks good in front of his mates. i’ve seen children as young as six going round shoe shops and fashion boutiques looking for the latest styles, desperate for the expensive designer clothes they see on tv. what’s wrong with these kids? our materialistic, consumer society? all the major fashion labels have got special children’s brands. it’s a market which generates £5 billion a year in the uk alone. the big clothing companies and chain stores exploit children at both ends of the production line. and in our shopping centres full of child consumers competing with each other to be up to date. if you are a parent, don’t give your kids all the clothes and fashion accessories they ask for. because one thing is sure: you won’t make your kids happy by spoiling them. maggie from bootle a)explain patiently why they can’t get everything they want. b)he was worried that some of the kids at his school would laugh at him because his new shoes didn’t have a well-known brand name. c)in the factories full of child workers in the far east where the products are made d)or is it their parents? e)some parents, such as david and victoria beckham, dress their children in flashy fashions to show off their family’s wealth. f)they were a well-known brand, but they were last year’s model and the price had been cut to £25 in the sales. g)they fit him fine and they looked good.
