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.

衣服和生活习惯
看衣服穿的人,可以知道他们的生活习惯。我不上班的时候穿运动服。虽然我每天都不做运动,也不是运动员,可我觉得运动服特别舒服。运动服没有衬衫帅,但去上一天班以后,我已经很累了,我觉的是怎么让自己方便。不在办公室的时候,我也喜欢戴帽子,因为不用做头发。

我的妻子跟我真的不一样。她去上班跟不去上班,都一样,每天都穿裙子,有的是红色的,有的是黑色的 还有的是白色的。她感觉裤子没有裙子好看,更没有衬衫裙子漂亮。她每天都要用一个小时的时间做头发。她是一个人爱漂亮。她穿着漂亮的衣服,自己快乐,我看着她漂亮和高兴,我也感兴趣高兴。
我们喜欢穿不一样的衣服,因为我们生活习惯不一样。

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!
