II Reading comprehension Вид задания –1) multiple choice (множественный выбор); 2) true/false (верно/неверно)

In Britain, there are traditional regional costumes and styles of dress associated with particular jobs or social groups.

1) Read the text and tick those styles and costumes that are mentioned in the text (reading for specific information):

a) a national costume;

b) special dress (for specific professions and occupations);

с) items of clothing linked with particular social groups;

d) casual clothes;

e) clothes for formal occasions;

f) clubwear.

Wales and Scotland each have a national costume, although there is no English one.

Welsh national dress is seen on such occasions as the annual Llangollen Eisteddfod.* Women wear full skirts, laced bodices, colourful shawls and a specif­ic tall crowned black hat, while men have bright waistcoats and flat black hats. The Scottish Highland dress, worn by both sexes and based on each clan's distinctive tartan, is considered the Scottish national dress. For men it includes a tweed jack­et, a tartan kilt and tartan stockings. Women's dress is similar, but with a tartan skirt in place of the kilt. Scottish costume is worn at many national events, such as the Highland Games, but also for everyday use by some Scots. A form of dress similar to the Scottish one is also worn by the Irish on ceremonial or formal occa­sions, showing the common Celtic and historical link between the two peoples. Members of particular professions and occupations wear special dress. Among those considered as distinctively British are the dark blue helmet and uniform of the policeman, the ceremonial red tunics and busbies of some army regiments, the six­teenth-century scarlet uniform of the Beefeaters, the gown and "mortarboard" of university students, and the wigs worn by judges. To this one could add the bowler hat, pin-striped trousers and rolled umbrella that were at one time almost a uni­form for civil servants and City businessmen. Items of clothing that are linked with partic­ular social groups are the flat cap, associated with working-class men and the more round­ed cap worn by the "country gentlemen". In general, people in Great Britain dress rather informally. Many wear casual clothes most of the time, not just when they are at home or on holiday. Men and women wear jeans with a shirt or T-shirt and a sweater to go shopping, meet friends, go to a pub or bar, or take their children out. Older people are more likely to dress more smartly. When they go out, women wear a dress or skirt and blouse while men wear a shirt, jacket and trousers. In summer younger people may wear shorts. There are a few occasions, when people like to dress formally. For such occasions like inter­views for jobs, men wear lounge suits, and women wear suits or dresses. Many weddings, for example, are very formal with men wear­ing morning dress and women wearing extra­vagant hats. Women also usually wear hats at events, where members of the Royal Fami­ly are present. Most people in Britain dress smartly to go to a party or restaurant. Many people do not now dress up to go to the theatre, as was once common, but prefer to wear casual or office clothes.
