Real world listening

Jake: Tell me, what do people wear at clubs in your country? Jenny: You mean dance clubs?

Jake: Yeah, what do young people wear?

Jenny: These days, kids want to be sexy.

Jake: Sexy? What do you mean?

Jenny: I mean, like wearing a tank top,

a top that shows a lot of your skin.

Jake: OK, showing a lot of skin.

That's sexy, huh?

Jenny: Yeah.

Jake: What about guys?

What do guys usually wear?

Jenny: Guys? They wear casual cargo pants

and maybe a polo shirt.

Jake: A polo shirt?

Jenny: Or maybe a cool T-shirt.

Some kind of cool logo on it.

Jake: OK, do girls wear cargo pants, too?

Jenny: No, no, never.

Girls like short skirts, or jeans,

and of course high heels.

Jake: High heels!

Aren't high heels hard to dance in?

Jenny: They are actually,

but we look so much better with high heels on.

We look taller. That's good.

Jake: How about guys?

What kind of shoes do they wear?

Jenny: Usually sneakers.

Jake: Well, how about jewelry?

Do you wear any kind of jewelry,

or acces-sories, necklaces?

Jenny: I personally don't wear a neck-lace,

but lots of people do.

I always wear earrings.

Big hoops. Silver ones.

Those look really pretty at the clubs.

Very shiny.

Jake: How about makeup?

Jenny: Oh, of course.

Makeup is really important, too.

Jake: Ah, I see.

Jenny: Like makeup for eyelashes.

You want to have a really strong look for your eyes. Jake: Lipstick?

Jenny: Definitely.

Shiny lip-gloss looks good in the light, you know. Jake: Do guys wear makeup, too?

Jenny: I don't think so.

Not at the clubs I go to.

But they wear perfume.

Or how do you say it?

Jake: Uh, cologne?

Jenny: Yeah, cologne.

I actually like it when guys wear cologne.

Jake: Well, it sounds like you have a lot of fun at the clubs. Jenny: Oh, yeah. It's a lot of fun.

Dressing up, meeting people,

talking, laughing, dancing.

Video 1

Mary: Cindy, I am giving a speech next week

in the university auditorium

and don't know what to ear!

All my professors will be there ...

I am so nervous!

Cindy: Relax, you'll be fine —

you are an eloquent speaker.

I will help you choose the right outft.

Mary: Thanks so much.

Should I dress formally or informally?

Cindy: Formally, of course.

Mary: Would a long skirt and nice blouse be formal enough? Cindy: That could work,

but I think you look best in a dress.

Mary: Really?

Cindy: Yes, I would suggest the dark blue, mid-calf dress

that you wore to my cousin's wedding.

Mary: Hmm, yes, I like that dress.

I also have something similar, but it's orange?

Cindy: I would stay away from orange:

you don't want to be too fashy.

Bright colors distract the audience.

Mary: Yeah, you are right. How about shoes?

Cindy: Do you have anything in black?

Mary: Yes, with a slight heel.

Cindy: Perfect. You will look gorgeous!

Video 2

Mary: I am going to Canada next week on a school trip! Dan: Wow, how exciting! But it's February,

so you will have to dress warmly or you will freeze to death! Mary: I know. What should I bring?

Dan: Well, I suggest you pack a wool sweater or two. Mary: How about gloves and a winter hat?

Dan: Absolutely. In fact,

if you plan on spending a lot of time outdoors,

I would suggest mittens instead of gloves.

They will keep your hands warmer.

Mary: Good thinking. I will be sure to do that.

Dan: And don't forget to bring a scarf to keep your neck warm, and a good pair of boots for your feet.

Will you be going skiing?

Mary: Nope. But we will go ice-skating on a frozen lake. Dan: How fun!

For that, you will need warm trousers and long underwear. Mary: Anything else you can think of?

Dan: Warm socks. And a thermos for tea or hot chocolate! Mary: Thanks for all the tips!

Dan: No problem. I look forward to seeing the photographs!
