Oral Practice
A student is asking his teacher for some advice on work outfits Listen to the dialogue and repeat after the recording Then finish the tasks

Chen: Hello, Amy. I know you are not only our manner teacher but an HR representative in a company. Can you give me some advice on work outfits?

Amy: Sure, it’s my pleasure. Professional dress plays an important role in the workplace. Dressing professionally shows that you take your job seriously. Too casual and overdressed are somewhat impolite.

Chen: So, how do I dress professionally?

Amy: The answer varies from workplace to workplace. In general, you should dress to match the workplace setting and office culture. You should follow your company’s dress code.

Chen: What are some types of dress codes for work?

Amy: Business formal, business casual, casual, uniforms, etc.

Chen: If my company doesn’t have a dress code, what should I do?

Amy: If your company eschews dress codes, you can pay attention to your co-workers to find out what attire is expected.

Chen: That’s a good idea. Thank you very much.

Amy: You are welcome.
