are weird—the odd hours, the nonconformity, the clove cigarettes. However, the

Many people like to make a good
impression on other people. This is true when they go to a meeting or go out
with their friends. Dressing well is one of the ways of making a good
impression.
Different countries have different ideas of
dressing well. In the United States, people think that it is better to dress
simply and suitably. For example, ball-dresses are not suitable for school or
for work. They do not wear heavy clothing in summer, nor would it be
comfortable.
Dressing with too many colors is not a good taste.
Simple clothes are easy to find and they can be bought cheaply, too. They are
always in good taste.
Simple and suitable clothing is worth
having for children, too. A little girl does not feel comfortable when she is
wearing a party dress and all the other girls in school are wearing plain
sweaters (毛线衫)
A. Dressing with many colors.
B. Dressing heavy clothing in summers.
C. Dressing simple clothes.
D. Dressing expensive clothes.
