1

Sonia was very well dressed. She had on a jacket and long, dark blue skirt. She was also wearing a yellow blouse. She wasn’t carrying a bag, but she did have a small wallet with her. Oh, and I remember she had nice gold earrings. I also remember her shoes. She was wearing black shoes with very high heels.

2

Matt was very casually dressed. He was wearing some really old jeans – you know, the ones with holes in them – with a wide leather belt and a blue shirt with buttons. He had on some boots too, high brown ones. They looked really nice. He was also wearing glasses. He usually wears a couple of big rings, but he was only wearing one today.

3

Kevin was wearing a yellow shirt and green tie. I didn’t like the tie, but I liked the shirt. He also had on brown pants. He was wearing sneakers with long white socks – kind of cute, actually. And he had a leather bag over one shoulder.

4

Amy looked really good. She had on a long skirt and a beautiful black jacket. And she had some expensive glasses on. She also had on a collared shirt. She didn’t have a bag. She was wearing sandals.

A:   What are you going to wear to the party?

B:   I’m not sure. I might wear jeans.

A:   Really? Ann and Liz are wearing dresses.

B:   Oh. Well, maybe I’ll wear a black skirt. So, what are you going to wear?

A:   Oh, probably nice pants and a tie.

B:   But you don’t have any ties, do you?

A:   Oh, that’s right. Maybe I can borrow one.
