1)

Olga: Every girl wants to be nicely dressed. Some can make dresses for themselves;

others will have to go to a fashion design studio to have their clothes made or buy ready-made clothes. And someone has to make them.

Nick: It’s not only women who like to wear nice clothes – men do, too. I think it’s nice to be able to make people happy by making them look beautiful, don’t you? People, both men and women, will always want to be nicely dressed.

Olga: I fully agree with Nick. Dressmaking is just as important as any other occupation.

Nick: Especially if you have a talent for it.

Kate: OK. You are right. Well-made, beautiful clothes make people happy.
