*Read the text then do the following activities;
After the Industrial Revolution had begun in Europe in the 18th century, it became increasingly possible to
produce cloth and clothing quickly and inexpensively. Fashionable clothing styles spread rapidly from the
upper classes to the middle and working classes in the West. As communication improved, styles also spread to
members of the elite classes in other parts of the world. Mass production of clothing meant that the traditional
clothing styles of Africa, Asia, and the Americas were largely replaced by everyday European styles.
As national economies grow increasingly international, clothing styles have become correspondingly global.
Young people in Johannesburg and Jakarta, Boston and Buenos Aires all tend to wear the same kind of
clothing. However, different cultures have modified these originally European styles in accordance with local
values and lifestyles. In particular, religious beliefs have influenced the clothing that women wear in public.
Thus, a woman in Iran may wear blue jeans and a T-shirt at home, but cover them up with an enveloping robe
called a "chador" when she goes outside. In addition, many people enjoy wearing their traditional clothing on
holidays and other special occasions for reasons of national or ethnic pride.
