Write three true passive sentences and three false passive sentences about the Clothes Crimes text. Then read your sentences to a partner. Guess if your partner's sentences are true or false:

You may think that people are more open-minded now. But that isn't always true. Recent clothes 'criminals' were teenagers wearing fairly standard clothes. In Britain, young people wearing hooded sweatshirts were banned from some shopping centres because 'hoodies' are sometimes worn by criminals who want to hide their faces. But does that mean that all people who wear hoodies are criminals? It seems unfair and irresponsible to persecute people if they simply want wear practical, comfortable clothes. And in the United States, it was baggy jeans that shocked the public. A popular fashion with hip hop fans is to wear very baggy jeans and show their underwear an 'outrage' which was banned and became illegal in some American towns. This probably wasn't because the clothes were indecent or immoral, but because some people thought that this style was typical of the disrespectful or criminal nature of some hip hop fans. Maybe the day will come when people will be judged un who they are and not on the clothes that they wear.​
