Clothes reading homework

Dressing for success
1. When Sandra realized her mistake, do you think she should have apologizes and explained what had happened? Why or why not?
A: Yes, I think of course she should have done. If you didn't, they might think that you dressed intentionally. On the other hand, if you apologized or explained, you might get another opportunity to get a job offer.

2. How can a suit show that someone "will conform to company policies and be a team player"?
A: In my opinion, dressing conservatively shows that you are serious about the meeting and interested in the job.

3. Have you ever had a job interview? If so, what did you wear? Did you get the job?
A: Yes, when I was at university in China, I went to the KFC restaurant to take a interview, I dressed conservatively, I wanted to make them understood that I'm a student and I want to find a part-time job. Fortunately, I got that job.


Casual dress in the workplace
1. Do you think casual dress is suitable for the workplace? Why or why not?
A: Yes, under the premise that without affecting the work, I think it's suitable for the workplace. It not only gives expression to the employees' personality and self-confidence, but also reflects the company's tolerance attitude to the employees.

2.Imagine you have a job and are allowed to dress down at work. What do you wear?
A: I have no idea, perhaps, I would dress as usual, I think that's it.

3. Do you think that what you wear affects your job performance? Why or why not?
A: I never think that it would affect my job performance whatever I wear unless I work at some important woekplaces such as hospital, bureau of public security and some places like these.


T-shirts out; uniforms in
1. Do you think school uniforms are a good or bad idea? Why?
A: Actually, I think it's a good idea. It reflects your identity as a student.

2. Do you think people's clothes show their creativity? Why or why not?
A: I think everyone's clothes show their lifestyle and taste.

3. Imagine someone asks you to design a better school uniform. What does it look like?
A: I would design it as a fashionable dress, perhaps it would appear in Paris Fashion Week or Milan Fashion Week.
