Go through the Tip Box with your students before they do the completion activity. The correct answer is not necessarily the one given in this key.
What do people wear?
Climate, tradition, and history affect the way people dress . For example, in Northern European countries, the climate is cold. Consequently, people wear warm clothes. By contrast, in Northern Africa, the climate is hot As a result, they wear light clothes
Differences in tradition also influence the types of clothes people wear. For instance, in Muslim countries, people wear traditional clothes when going to parties , in contrast to America where people put on suits and ties during ceremonial occasions .
Contrary to what people think, history is no less important when it comes to clothes. In olden days, young people in Algeria were used to wear djellabas whereas today they wear trousers and shirts. In olden days, they were used to wear shechias, but nowadays, they wear sports caps
The most important factor that determines dressing styles today is fashion. So in most of the world people like wearing jeans and sports shoes. However, there are still some countries which keep to their traditional clothing in spite of globalisation.
