　　今天上午没课，难得清闲。约了个高中好友帮他准备准备雅思考试，他从日本回来，准备再去英国深造。近5个小时，新题没讲几个，多数时间用来叙旧了 聊到08年9月新出现的这个变态话题卡的时候说到了日本的和服，想想也确实是个不错的题材，考试时候说出来可以引起考官的兴趣，做到与众不同。

　　OK, let me talk about the national costume of Japan: Kimono

�

　　① Kimono are T-shaped, straight-lined robes that fall to the ankle, with collars and wide, full-length sleeves.There are different types of kimono for different occasions and seasons, including those worn by men.

�

　　② Kimono can be found in many places in Japan but people have to pay through the nose as they cost an arm and a leg. A decent silk kimono will set you back the best part of a million yen.

�

　　③ Kimono are a much less common sight these days and are usually only seen worn by older people or on special occasions. A few older women and even fewer men still wear kimono on a daily basis. I wear kimono when I was in Japan most often at weddings, tea ceremonies, and other very special or very formal occasions.

�

　　④ Why wear Kimono? It&aposs very rich---you experience a lot of culture and you get such a world of thoughts that go with it. It&aposs not just the feeling that you get from wearing kimono, but the natsukashi (nostalgic). Also, it&aposs always fun to dress up, and you get different reactions from people. The long and the short, it&aposs fun, fashionable and infused with tradition. What better reasons could there be? www.aoji.cn
