1.  Good for everyone 2.  Easy to care for 3.  Part of culture 4.  Screen fashion 5.  An innovative idea 6.  Working clothes 7.  Jeans’ labels 8.  Clothes to protest 1A.  Jeans are one of fashion's most long enduring trends. Cowboys wear them but so do supermodels, farmers, presidents and housewives. Ask any group of people why they wear jeans and you will get a range of answers. For some they're comfortable and easy – for others they're trendy and cool. Jeans mean different things to different people but they are popular everywhere.  3B.  Americans do not have a national folk dress with a long tradition. Blue jeans are probably the most recognizable article of American clothing. They have been part of American life for over 125 years. Blue denim jeans became not only an expression of American fashion but also an element of American identity known around the world. 6C.  Jeans were first designed as trousers for farmers and miners in the states of the American West. They quickly grew popular with common people, including cowboys, factory employees and railroad builders. The new trousers were made from a very strong material which did not wear out easily. However, at the same time jeans were very practical and comfortable to wear. 5D.  Pockets were the weak point of the miners' clothes – they easily tore away from the jeans. A man called Jacob Davis had the idea of using metal rivets (fasteners) to hold the pockets and the jeans together so that they wouldn't tear. Davis wanted to patent his idea, but he didn't have enough money, so he offered Levi Strauss a deal if Strauss paid for the patent. Strauss accepted and started making jeans. 8E.  By the middle of the twentieth century, these heavy cotton trousers were a symbol of opposition for young artists and writers. College students started to wear them to show they were against the Vietnam War. The new trousers were banned in American schools from coast to coast and sometimes in theatres and cinemas. 2F.  Jeans are good because they don't show the dirt. You can easily go a month without washing them and they don't look shocking. They don't need to be washed as often as other trousers and you don't need to iron them. What's more, because of the strong material you can wear your favorite jeans for years. Even the occasional hole or spot doesn’t spoil them at all. 4G.  In the 30s and 40s many people began to spend their spare time watching movies where adventurous cowboys rode horses, fought bad guys and wore blue jeans. The actors made jeans popular in movies and everyone wanted to wear them. Young people wished to imitate the casual “cowboyish” look they saw in films, and they began to wear jeans as casual wear.

Opinion essay. It should be mandatory for all young people in the future.

  Nowadays , we have lots of problems with our enviroment . Someone cares about it , but most people doesnt. But we are all living there , and need to care about our house. One of the decisions is to make volunteering mandatory , especially for young people , because lots of them cares just about themeselves .

   I think , it is very good idea , because most of youn people have no jobs , so they have time and energy . For example , schools and universities can make some events instead lessons . Sometimes , for example , we have the subbotnik. But it is too rarely , just one time in a year , and not so organised. Moreover , schools just making up their own yards . So , we need to attract volunteering organisations to make subbotniks regular , often and organised . People can collect and recycle rubbish , plant trees or something else .

  On the other hand , we have some problems . The thing is , that most of young people dont want to work for free and to spend their freetime . It is very important , because young people are very stuppborn . The dicision is that schools and universities should make some lections about enviromental disasters to give people understand , for what are they working .
  So , it can be argued. We can make some promotions . For example , Students , who is volunteering , can get good marks , can be free from some lessons or just get some money .
  As a result , if  we will have good organisation , motivation  and be union , we will make our cities cleaner , greener and more friendly .
