[SPEAKING SAMPLE] Status symbols In your country, what possessions show a higher status or position in society? In my country, people who are wealthy tend to buy big houses and cars. Certain makes of car such as Mercedes or Ferrari are status symbols. They let other people know that you are important or powerful. People who want to give this impression often wear expensive designer clothes, or watches by brands like Rolex. Do you think we place too much importance on possessions? Probably, yes. Some people are obsessed with showing off their new mobile phone or wearing the latest fashions. I think its a problem for teenagers because theres a lot of peer pressure to follow fashion or buy the latest gadget that their friends have got. Do you think things were different 50 years ago? Yes, maybe people were less materialistic. I think they bought things that lasted longer; my grandparents talk about how they repaired things rather than throwing them away. Maybe brands and advertising werent as powerful as they are now.
