1-🗄SEXIST DRESS CODES (text)
What is the issue raised in this document?
EXPRESSION
What do you think workers should wear at work, and why?
IN MY OPINION = TO MY MIND
TO ME
FROM MY POINT OF VIEW
AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED
I THINK
Women have to wear high-heeled shoes = stilettos but it hurts their feet.
To my mind, employees should wear elegant and comfortable clothes in the office, but to work outside/if they work outdoors, they should wear practical clothes.
The outfit should depend on the type of job.
To me, it’s important in some companies to have a dress code, in big stores or luxury/ prestigious companies, because it reflects the image of the firm.
Makeup shop assistants should wear makeup – A shop assistant, in a make-up shop, should wear ….
Makeup shop assistants have to wear makeup – A shop assistant haS to wear makeup to advise the customers.
The employers need to study and test different dress codes to find the best outfit for his employees.
An appropriate outfit can (help):
-protect the employees (for example, the police)
-represent and promote the brand/ company
-be more efficient
-recognise the shop assistants in the store because they all wear the same outfit/uniform
Some outfits are compulsory for the protection of the employees (for example, people working on a building site (bricklayers) or in a hospital (surgeons)).
