    Good effort! However, you do not need to refer to skirt and red with a preceding "the." By saying "the skirt," it implies you have a very special one that everybody knows about. If this is not true, then you could say "a skirt." Here is my suggestion for your submission: I am wearing a red skirt. OR I now wear a skirt. It is red. Happy practising and hope you post more submissions!

    Hello,

    In this exercise you were asked to describe what six (6) people are doing but you have just described one - yourself. 

    Perhaps you could write something like this:  I am wearing a red skirt, not black trousers.  The girl is walking out the door, not climbing the stairs.  The man is driving his car, not riding his bicycle.  The boy is playing football, not reading his book.  I am having a haircut, I am not eating my lunch.

    Does this help you and explain the negative and positive characteristics of different people?

    I hope I have been of help to you.

    Kind regards,

    John

    ... but if the person you are speaking to actually knows about the skirt (suppose you are on the phone), you can say "I now wear a skirt, it is the red one"

    ...比如说''我穿着那件我最喜爱的红色衣服''，可以说I am wearing the red skirt I most like。如果是''我穿着红色衣服''可以说I am wearing a red skirt

    If I were you, I will write: " I am wearing a skirt.  It is red and beautiful.  I am also a very beautiful girl."   Anyway, it is a very nice try.  Keep going! You can do it!
