Sample Answer 1

Here is the sample for “An item of clothing that someone bought for you” topic

They say girls’ wardrobes are always full of clothes, yet they don’t have anything to wear. Well, it is quite true in most instances. I am obsessed with shopping. The last weekend of every month, for me, is reserved for shopping. All this while, I preferred going to the store. However, nowadays, I am more inclined towards shopping on the internet.

A few days back, I received a leather jacket. Keeping my favouritism towards clothes in mind, my grandfather suddenly decided to gift me this jacket. I’d like to let you know that I am extremely close to my grandpa. Our bond is strong and unbreakable.

It is a slim fit black jacket and has a shine to it. The main zipper is skewed to one side; thus, differentiating it from the rest. The length is short. Inside, it has a piece of lining fabric. The jacket also features two open pockets and one inside pocket. It also has a straight collar and a simple wrist closer.

There is no particular reason behind my grandfather buying me this jacket. Just a few days back, he asked me if I needed to buy any clothes because he felt like gifting something to his best friend. I was touched and overwhelmed. So, together we finalized this jacket on the internet. Indeed, the jacket is the closest to my heart and will always be a precious piece of clothing as my best friend had bought it for me.

IELTS Material · An Item Of Clothing That Someone Bought For You

I would like to describe a coat my parents gave me as a present on my 18th birthday. I must say that it is really smart and exactly to my liking.

The coat is entirely made of cotton and is made by a Vietnamese clothes brand. It is a knee-length black coat, which was in fashion at that time. What I like the most is that there are two deep side pockets, so in winter, I always put my hands into those pockets to avoid the cold. Besides, I can button the coat from top to bottom and it’s also got a decorative waist belt. I am so fond of this coat that I usually wear it every winter. It fits me perfectly and makes me feel comfortable and warm, no matter how cold the weather is. I keep myself warm by wearing the coat with jeans and boots, which match it well.

In fact, I have never thought about whether it will be out of fashion. As this coat is a gift from my parents, I treasure it a lot and – for sure – I will keep wearing this coat in the future.
