Read the paragraph about a favorite item of clothing.
Lee el siguiente párrafo acerca de una prenda de vestir favorita.
My favorite item of clothing is my tennis shoes. My
parents bought them for me one year ago. They cost
$500 pesos, which is more expensive than my dressing
shoes! I like them because they are the most comfortable
and they are nicer than my old tennis shoes. The good
thing about tennis shoes is that they are as fashionable
as my dressing shoes.
