1. Penguin readers level2
2. 40min+40min=80min
3. Fashion family Italy luxurious problem world leather
4a. In the 1980s, Gucci products were more famous than before. Maybe too famous! Many people wore Gucci, so the clothes were not new and different. The Gucci logo suddenly out of fashion. Today, Gucci is in fashion again.
4b. I was surprised that Gucci was not popular after it became famous. However thanks to their great product Gucci became more popular than before so great work
5. I know Gucci but I don't have that product (my mother have) Gucci's products are what I want someday. Gucci's history was not so easy so I respect their products

4. Many famous people wear Gucci. This passage proves popularity, so I thought it is important to be worn by a celeblity. I'm happy to know this.
5. I could know about Gucci's history. I had already known the name "Gucci", but I didn't know anything else. I was surpried to know that Gucci's family started a business. Through the story in this book, our personal appearances are important. If I have a lot of money, I try to buy some top-class brand things.
