Today, let us answer one of the recent
0:02
IELTS speaking Q cards about a website
0:05
that sells secondhand items. After I
0:09
deliver my monologue, I will also answer
0:12
part three practice questions about this
0:15
topic. Let's begin. Let me talk about
0:19
the website that sells pre-loved clothes
0:21
called Second Chance. I stumbled upon
0:24
this site while I was searching for a
0:27
retro outfit to wear for our Christmas
0:29
party last year since the theme was
0:31
about the 70s. I couldn't find anything
0:35
at several shopping centers nearby that
0:38
truly fit the theme. So, I decided to
0:40
try my luck online. Uh upon searching
0:44
and scrolling, I came across this site
0:46
and I got thrilled because this site has
0:48
a lot of pre-loved
0:51
retro outfits.
0:53
I carefully checked all the items
0:55
displayed on the site and I was so
0:58
excited to see an Elvis Presley outfit.
1:02
When I found it, I didn't have second
1:04
thoughts about buying it because I just
1:07
loved it and I thought that it was the
1:09
best outfit to wear for our Christmas
1:12
party. Since then, I've become a loyal
1:15
customer to this site or to this online
1:18
shop because their clothes have
1:21
excellent quality despite the fact that
1:24
they're all secondhand. Well, what I
1:27
like the most about this site is the
1:29
fact that it advocates sustainability.
1:32
As a person who values the protection
1:34
and conservation of the environment, I
1:37
couldn't help myself but give my 100%
1:39
support to its cause.
1:42
In fact, I've bought many kinds of
1:45
clothes such as jeans, cardigans,
1:48
jackets, t-shirts, and many more. Well,
1:51
this one that I'm wearing right now is
1:53
my recent find. I couldn't be happier
1:56
finding this on that site because it's
1:58
so comfortable and it's actually cheap.
2:02
I am looking forward to buying more
2:04
clothes on that site. If you find that
2:07
story interesting and natural, get my
2:10
latest reviewer. I answered all the
2:12
recent Q cards. I prepared everything so
2:15
you don't have to click the link in the
2:17
comment section to get my latest
2:20
reviewers. My reviewers helped many
2:23
students achieve their target dance band
2:25
scores.
2:27
Some people think it's a waste to buy
2:29
too many clothes for children. What do
2:31
you think? Well, I couldn't agree more
2:34
with that. Children grow fast, which
2:36
means they can also outgrow their
2:39
clothes faster.
2:41
I think it's way better if parents buy
2:44
fewer clothes, but of high quality so
2:47
that they won't be wasting their
2:48
children's clothes once they no longer
2:50
feed them. But who am I to stop them and
2:53
impose my beliefs on them? If they want
2:56
to buy as many clothes as they once for
2:58
their children, be it. It's their life
3:01
anyway. Why do people buy secondhand
3:04
clothes?
3:06
There are several reasons for that. One
3:08
is some people want to save money. As we
3:11
know, buying new clothes, especially
3:13
branded ones, costs a lot, whereas uh
3:17
buying at a thrift store doesn't cost an
3:20
arm and a leg. Uh if they're lucky
3:22
enough, they can find some high quality
3:24
clothes that are branded and still in
3:26
very good condition. Another reason is
3:29
that some people buy pre-loved clothes
3:32
because they want to help uh the
3:34
environment by reducing waste.
3:38
buying secondhand clothes is more
3:40
echofriendly than buying new ones. I
3:43
also think that there are some people
3:45
who do that because they find pre-loved
3:49
clothes
3:51
and fashionable.
3:53
What problems will occur if people don't
3:56
recycle?
3:58
Undeniably, if we don't recycle, more
4:00
trash ends up in landfills which takes
4:02
up so much space. Besides, plastic waste
4:06
that isn't recycled will surely be
4:08
thrown into rivers or seas, and that
4:10
kills marine life. Also, more waste
4:14
means more greenhouse gas emissions
4:17
because methane from landfills is
4:21
produced.
4:22
If we take recycling for granted, then
4:25
we'll face a future with unmanageable
4:28
pollution. What do people do with the
4:31
clothes they don't want anymore?
4:33
Obviously, they donate them to charity
4:35
organizations to help underprivileged
4:38
individuals like the homeless people.
4:42
That's actually pretty common in our
4:43
country and that act is commendable.
4:47
However, some people sell their
4:49
pre-loved clothes online as they simply
4:52
want to make money. I've seen students
4:55
selling their pre-loved clothes and they
4:58
use the money that they make to finance
5:01
their school needs or wants. That's
5:04
being prudent. Are you still getting a
