Here are some interesting observations.Discuss about them with your partners and share your understanding.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

Fashion is a dandy（花花公子） who is sought after by women but who casts them away again and again.

Nothing makes a woman’s clothes go out of style faster than her husband getting a raise.

Book 2 – Unit 6


One of the most difficult tasks in this world is to convince a woman that even a bargain (便宜货 ) costs money.

Many people suffer discomfort because they buy shoes to fit the occasion instead of the feet.

Good taste in clothing is hard to define, but you know when somebody doesn’t have it.

Fashion Emergency By Lulu Wilson

How on earth has this happened?Oh, how will I fare?

It’s the day of the party,And I have NOTHING to wear!

What shall I do?I will go to the mall.

But there are so many choices,Like Rome I will fall.

Now here is a store,A perfect boutique (专卖流行衣服的小店 );

I must ensure this outfit (全套装备 )Cannot be critiqued.

It must be creative,And one of a kind.This one is perfect,

How on earth did I find.

But the size is too small,The price is too high!There just is no wayI can hope to get by.

Now this dress is an option,Several ruffles in blue,

But Hurray! I have found itAlmost exactly on cue!
