    When I was a kid, I had a little pencil box which had these four buttons which gave the pencil box an operative use. When you press the button, the box would open up. When you press the second button, a little part of it would slide out. Basically it was just a little electronical and a fun thing to have and I owned it when I was in 6th. One day after break, I was standing and talking there with one of my friends and another friend of mine was running through the hallway and accidentally she pushed my shoulder and my pencil box hit the ground and it broke into multiple pieces to the point that it was not functional anymore.

    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    Band 5-6

    So the person I'm going to talk about is a friend of mine whose name is Akash and I know him from my college where we used to study engineering together. So I consider his the type of clothing that he wears is he has no contrast in his clothing. He wears the same colors like black shirt, he pairs the black shirt with a black pant and black shoes. If you give him an option he'll also wear a black hat and a black backpack on it so I always thought that this choice of his clothing and accessorizing was always a bit funny because you never saw any contours or any incontinency in his clothing so you always wondered how does he wear this comfortably and how does he provide.

    Band 5-6

    there is a boy in not in our class basically he's in a class of the succeeding grade so basically I know about this guy from my friends who have their brothers in that succeeding grade so basically I mean I'm in ninth grade so that means that guy is in 10th grade I really don't know his name but his clothing fashion really does not look normal to me I don't know why but it really looks like it's a it is a very unusual clothes that separates him from many others I have seen till now his clothes are very different from the people I have met till now he wears a baggy jeans and a baggy t-shirt so this might be normal in some countries but especially according to the cultures in our country he looks quite different from the others so he looks very unusual like in our school we have formal dresses and amongst these formal dresses he looks very unusual with those baggy jeans and baggy clothes and yeah

    Band 5

    Band 7.5

    A person I know who wears unusual clothes, there are actually many but one person I would like to talk about today is a guy named Saurav. We studied in college together, we were in the same batch of fashion design at NIFT Bangalore and that is how I know him, though unfortunately we haven't kept in touch after college and we have lost touch but we do follow each other on Instagram and that is why I am updated about his life. His choices are not weird per se, I would say. I actually appreciate his choices because he doesn't cater to the herd mentality of blindly following trends. He is very individualistic when it comes to fashion and that individualism has also actually transformed into a fashion line that he had recently created. His choice of clothes are very offbeat, they are contemporary boxy silhouettes and the material that he uses is mostly natural. I think that is a high requirement for fashion to exist today and also to honour the environment and the society we live in. So that is something I really respect about him and about his line. Also, he has really good ideas. I would say his line is also inclusive because of the shapes, it's inclusive of different body sizes.
