Question

5．Clothing（服装）is a language．We can look at traditional clothing to know more about culture．
Africa has a long history and a rich culture，and this is shown in traditional dress．The three colours一red，gold and green，are often used in the clothing．The first colour represents the blood of millions of people who fought for freedom； the second，rich resources of the African earth； and the third，the grassland of home．
Because clothing has strong social meanings，people are very careful in choosing what to wear．It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothes，or to dress in the wrong way．For example，in Ghana，a woman should wear her waistband （腰带）differently according to the importance of the social event．
Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life．African designs are famous for loose（宽松的）clothing．The temperature there can be very high during the daytime but very low at night，so it requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life．
Today although more and more young people like wearing Western clothes especially in big cities in Africa，traditional African dress is still quite valuable．This is because it has deep cultural meanings．

Answer 1

分析 服装是一种语言．我们可以看看传统服装去了解文化．
非洲有着悠久的历史和丰富的文化，从传统服饰上可以看到．有三种颜色一红色、金色和绿色，通常用于服装．第一种颜色代表数以百万计争取自由的人的血；第二，丰富的非洲大地资源；和第三，家乡的草地．
因为服装具有很强的社会意义，人们在选择穿什么时都很谨慎，穿错衣服或者穿着不适当是一个严重的错误．例如在加纳，女人应该根据社交活动的重要性选择不同的腰带．
传统服饰也告诉我们关于日常生活的事．非洲的设计以宽松的服装闻名，白天的温度会很高，但在夜间很低，所以要求衣服在日常生活中是舒适的．
今天，尽管越来越多的年轻人喜欢穿西方服装，特别是在非洲大城市，传统的非洲服饰仍然是很有价值的，这是因为它有深刻的文化意义．
