III- Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer (5 pts)
Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to
enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theaters, cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like
from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy.
But in Britain, as well as the United States, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses
or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and
restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses.
In many years, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At
home or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they
like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty
clothes and smart hairstyles.
It is difficult to say exactly what people wear informal or formal in Britain and the United States because
everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and do the same. You’ll feel
more relaxed if you don’t look too different from everyone else.
