The question enables us to continue practising the Present Continuous, with clothing vocabulary in the replies provided by the interviewees. 15 people are wearing 39 different articles of clothing in this video. They tell us what they are.
Ronaldo Lima, Jr. a brilliant EFL teacher in Brazil, has written on his blog about this particular video. This is part of his conclusion:
In a clothes lesson, when students started describing what they are wearing, I would focus on the quantifiers. If they said "I'm wearing a T-shirt, scarf, hat, shoes and jacket", I would probably correct them and have them say "I'm wearing a scarf, a hat, a pair of shoes and a jacket.
But why, if that's not necessarily how people would say it? With these real-english videos, though, we can, again, expose students to the real language real people use.
