1. Прочитай текст и ответь на вопросы. “TikTok Made Me Buy It”. Every week there is a new trend on TikTok. One day everyone wears cargo pants. Next week — mini bags. Next month — totally different. Mia, 15, says: “I bought 12 things this month because I saw them on TikTok. Now I don't like any of them. They were cheap, but 12 cheap things are a lot of money.” Jake, 16, says: “I wanted those big boots everyone had. They cost 9,000 rubles. I wore them three times. They are heavy and ugly now. I was a fashion victim.” Fast fashion brands make new clothes every week. They copy TikTok trends fast and sell them cheap. But cheap clothes often break after two or three washes. Then people buy more. And more. Questions: 1. What does Mia regret? 2. How much did Jake’s boots cost? 3. How many times did Jake wear the boots? 4. Why do people buy more and more clothes? 5. Who is a fashion victim in this text — Mia, Jake, or both? Why?

Answers:

1. Mia regrets buying 12 things because she saw them on TikTok. Now she doesn’t like any of them. (Мия жалеет, что купила 12 вещей, увидев их в TikTok. Теперь ей ни одна из них не нравится.)
2. Jake’s boots cost 9,000 rubles. (Ботинки Джейка стоили 9 000 рублей.)
3. He wore them three times. (Он надевал их три раза.)
4. People buy more and more clothes because cheap clothes often break after two or three washes. (Люди покупают всё больше одежды, потому что дешёвая одежда часто рвётся после двух или трёх стирок.)
5. Both Mia and Jake are fashion victims: Mia bought many things because she saw them on TikTok, and Jake bought trendy boots that he soon disliked. (И Мия, и Джейк — жертвы моды: Мия купила много вещей, увидев их в TikTok, а Джейк купил модные ботинки, которые вскоре ему разонравились.)
