My daily listening lesson

I heard a conversation about “clothes and fashion”. The question was about if two persons were interested in fashion. Ther where a man and a woman about their fourties. One of them considered than even he is a little bit interested in fashion, he thinks he’s too old and he could seem silly, that’s why he prefers to follow general tendences. The woman explained that she is now buying second-hand clothing and it’s nice for her because there are many things she can choose. She choose clothes that are not fall apart or too used. Both of them considered that using smart clothes is very convenient since they are casual but elegant at the same time.

I heard a conversation about clothes and fashion.

Quotation marks aren't actually needed here

The question was (about) if two personsople were interested in fashion.

"About" is optional in this sentence

There whereas a man and a woman aboutwho looked to be in their fourties.

Or "They were a man and woman who..."

You could say "about forty" to mean centered around 40, but "about their forties" doesn't work. You can replace "about" with "who looked to be" here.

One of them consideresaid thant even though he is a little bit interested in fashion, he thinks he’s too old and he could seem silly, that’s whyso he prefers to follow general trendences.

More natural

The woman explained that she is now buying second-hand clothing and it’s nice for her because there are many things she can choose.

She chooses clothes that are not falling apart or too used.

Both of them considered that using smart clothes isdressing in a smart style to be very convenient since they arit can be casual but elegant at the same time.

While people is a more common form of the plural, persons is also a valid one, especially in more specific contexts, unlike "people" which is always used when addressing an undefined mass of people.

That's definitely true! But in this context it would be very strange to use "persons." It's most often used in legal writing.
