The rain had stopped before I went for a walk. My mother had returned home before I did my homework. We had met in the street before we went to the park. They had packed their things before then they started. I had switched on the TV set before I had dinner. He had returned home before the guests left. We had came to the cinema before the film began. I had read the book before I saw the play. They had lived here before they moved to another place. We had played a game of tennis before we went to my place.
Russian teenagers like wearing absolutely different clothes. Most of young people in my country are reasonably well-dressed. They usually prefer comfortable, affordable clothes that can show their individuality. They aren't bothered about brand names and don't dress just to impress each other. Teens in Russia are sporty, so most days they wear baggy jeans or shorts, T-shirts or sweatshirts, trainers or sandals. Also they really love shopping and usually go to the malls where they can find plenty of shops with clothes. Sometimes they buy it at the markets or second-hand shops. They don't spend much money on clothes. I think 15-20 thousand rubles a year are enough to wear comfortable and fashionable clothes.
