Clothes And Life Habits

Looking at (the) clothes one person wears, (we) can know his/her life habits. I(,) when not working(,) wear sportswear. Though I not am (the-)every-day-all-exercise(-type), neither am (I an) athlete, but I feel (that)  sportswear (is) especially comfortable. Sportswear might not be as handsome as dress shirts, but after going to work (for) a day, I (am) already very tired, (what) I think about is how to let (my)self (be) comfortable. (When) not in office I also like wearing hats, because (I do) not need to do (my) hair.

My wife with me very not the same, she(,) going-to-work with not-going-to-work(,) both the same, every day (she) all wears dresses/skirts, some (dresses/skirts) are red, some are black, additionally some are white. She feels (that) pants are not as good-looking as dresses/skirts, (even) more (it is) not as pretty as dresses/skirts. She every day all “yao”(/need to) use one “ge” (of) hour’s time to wash (her) hair (and) do (her) hair. She is one “ge” (of) person (who) very loves (being) pretty. She(,) wearing pretty clothes, (her)self feels happy, I(,) looking at her (being) pretty (and) happy, I also feel happy.

We like wearing not the same clothes, because our life habits are not the same.

老师: 可不可以用“都”: 我想的都是怎么让自己舒服 意思是: All I think about is how to make myself comfortable. 可以吗? 谢谢您!
