Clothing Styles





Ashley: Hey, Jake. Are you ready for your trip?

Jake: Well, not really. I still have to buy some clothes.

Ashley: Well, what's the weather like where you're going?

Jake: Well, uh, it's really hot in the summer, so I'm going to buy some shorts, sandals, and a few t-shirts.

Ashley: What about the rest of the year?

Jake: People say that the fall can still be warm until November, so I'm going to buy some jeans and a few casual shirts.

Ashley: Will you need any warm clothes for the winter?

Jake: Well, the weather doesn't get too cold, but it often snows in the mountains, so I'm going to buy a couple of warm sweaters, a jacket, and a hat. I don't have room in my suitcase to pack a coat, so I'm going to wait until I get there and buy it when I really need it.

Ashley: Are you going to take anything else?

Jake: They say it rains cats and dogs in the spring, but again, I'll probably just wait and pick up a raincoat or an umbrella later on. But, I'm going to take a good pair of shoes because I plan on walking to and from school everyday.

Ashley: Do you need any clothing for formal occasions?

Jake: Well, you never know when you might need something on the spur of the moment for a wedding or maybe someone's graduation, or a nice date, so I'll probably take some nice slacks, a dress shirt, and a couple (of) crazy ties or two.

Ashley: Um, that makes sense.

Jake: And I'll just rent a suit or tuxedo if I need anything more formal. Hey, maybe I'll get married.

Ashley: You? Married? Hah!

Jake: Wait. What are you trying to say?

Ashley: I just can't imagine you decked out in a tuxedo for any formal occasion. [What?!] I mean, for high school graduation, you wore an old pair of jeans and tennis shoes.

Jake: Hey, there was a reason for that, so let me explain. [Yeah, ha, ha.] No, really. You see, it goes like this . . .

Charlie Todd: The shared experience of absurdity    In the movie, what impressed me most was a high school student who made a proposal to Charlie Todd to call more people and wear blue short-sleeved turtleneck and khaki pants to stroll to Best Buy. Charlie Todd accepted it. This proposal, bringing together 80 people to perform this project, is different from the clothing of Best Buy's real employees only in that there are no yellow tags on the shirts. These actors are swaying at the Best buy, making their real employees feel interesting and even taking photos with them. I think Improv Everywhere is really a great team, through their own creativity and action, so that more people are willing to work together to create a situation that brings positive experiences to people.

When watching videos, there will be subtitles in English. The course information is also very complete. A course is also divided into many chapters so that users can learn according to their own learning progress. Courses are also classified according to their category. Classification, but it is a pity that the courses offered are a bit small.
