Part 1

Todd: Now, Mariel, what kind of clothes do you love to wear?

Mariel: My favorite clothing is jeans, for sure.

Todd: OK, so you then are the jeans expert.

Mariel: I could be. What would you like to know?

Todd: Well, there's so many kinds of jeans now and it's a bit confusing so what is trendy or popular right now? Mariel: Right now? You see different kinds of trends, but I think tight jeans and baggy jeans are very popular.

Todd: OK, wow, that's quite a difference. Mariel: It's a contrast. Yeah.

Todd: OK, let's start with the baggy jeans. First of all, who likes to wear baggy jeans?

Mariel: I think baggy jeans go with the hip-hop kind of style. Also, skateboarders really like to wear baggy jeans. People who like to feel relaxed and move around a lot are usually baggy jeans fans.

Todd: What about you? Do you like to wear baggy jeans?

Mariel: Oh, those are my favorite kind of jeans.

Todd: Your favorite?

Mariel: Yeah, I love to wear baggy jeans.

Todd: Why is that?

Mariel: It's just that they're so easy to wear and so relaxed and I can just do whatever I want in baggy jeans I feel. Todd: Sounds good. Well, then what about tight jeans?

Mariel: Mm, tight jeans. To me they're very unconfortable, but a lot of girls like to wear them. Todd: Now, usually only girls wear tight jeans?

Mariel: Some guys do as well. Again, those people are usually very trendy and it's quite often that punk people and rock people wear tight jeans.
