Sample Dialogue 1
Jenny: I just got some new fall fashions.
Peter: Cool!Show me!
Jenny: Here.What do you think of them?
Peter: You bought five striped shirts?
Jenny: That's the style this year.
Peter: Well,at least they're all different.
Jenny: Yeah,some are vertical.Some are horizontal.
Peter: I like that one.
Jenny: Me,too.It's got thin stripes on the top and thick ones on the bottom.
Peter: You can wear it with your plaid skirt.
Jenny: No way,Peter.I never wear stripes with plaid!
Peter: It was just an idea!
Jenny: You have to be careful with stripes.
Peter: Why?
Jenny: They have an optical illusion effect.
Peter: Oh!I know.Vertical stripes make you look thin and tall.
Jenny: But horizontal stripes make you look fat.
Peter: Now I know why most of your shirts have vertical stripes.
Jenny: To make me look better.It works!
Peter: It may help,but you still have a long way to go.

Sample Dialogue 2
Joe: Well,there was quite a show!
Lin Zhi: I'll say.I've never seen one as good as it.That final dress was amazing!I don't even know what the material was.
Joe: Some kind of silk,I think.
Lin Zhi: But the way it was folded—really great.I thought the theme was good,too—that kind of 1930s style.
Joe: Not very Chinese,though.
Lin Zhi: I think it was supposed to be influenced by Scottish style—you know.The designer was talking about house parties before the war,aristocrats that sort of decadent sexy style.I'm glad they didn't just do that pre-war Shanghai style,because that's been so common recently.
Joe: Oh,that's why they had the skirts that looked like kilts,and those half-slung things over the shoulder.
Lin Zhi: And the funny things like little furry animals.
Joe: Sporrans.
Lin Zhi: Do Scottish people really wear that kind of costume?It looks very strange,especially on the men.
Joe: No,they just wear them for very formal occasions or when doing historical things.It's like a ceremonial old-style dress.Like the Qipao or something.
Lin Zhi: Oh,I see.So it's a kind of dressing-up?
Joe: Yes,for weddings and balls and so on.Normally we'd wear suits,but Scotsmen can wear kilts on some occasions.Not for business though.
