Clothes people are wearing can influence their behaviour.
It is not a secret that nowadays people place great emphasis on how they look. While some people firmly believe that people’s behavior can be influenced by clothing, others think differently.
In my opinion, clothing cannot affect a person's behavior. From psychological side view, our actions depend on our characters and emotions. It means that even the most richly and stylishly dressed person can behave differently because of his feelings at the moment. From my personal experience, my new sports uniform did not motivate me to start running every morning and to lose weight. В этом месте не хватает перехода к микровыводу. Therefore, clothes cannot influence our behavior.
However, many people think differently. They say that school uniforms worn by pupils improve their academic performance and diligence. In other words, strict clothing style improves students’ behavior, makes them be more concentrated on study. Надо было что-то добавить, иначе предложение не очень содержательное.
I cannot agree with the opponents’ opinion. Despite the fact that many schools require uniforms, there are many bad and unruly pupils who do not study well, skip classes and start fights. For this reason clothing is not a factor that affects people's behavior.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that clothes cannot change or influence our behavior. I have no doubt about it, because despite some minor effects, the method of action does not depend on how individuals dress.

Dear Jane,
Thank you for your letter. It was great to hear from you again.
As for you questions, we usually cook meat steaks with tomato and cheese for special occasions. My mother also prefers to bake apple pie. We have guests very rarely. If someone from relatives or friends comes to us, they entertain themselves on their own. We usually celebrate family holidays at home because we like cozy and calm atmosphere there.
By the way, what is your middle brother’s name? How old is he? Does he play tennis professionally?
That’s all for now. Hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes,
Dasha

Dear Molly,
Thank you for your letter. It was great to hear from you again.
As for you questions, the weather in summer in Russia is normally changeable. There are warm sunny days and cold days with rain in this season. In my opinion, it’s а great idea to spend summer holidays at home. There are a lot of opportunities to have a good time in familiar places. As for me, my favourite season is spring because the nature is very beautiful at this time.

That’s all for now. Hope to hear from you soon.
