Week 7 : Fashion

14 September 2015 

    

 
     Today we studied the new lesson. It was a 'Fashion'. First the teacher assigned us to write vocabularies about fashion onto the board. I learned new vocabularies such as halter top, platform shoes, fishnet stocking and etc.

Halter top





 Fishnet stockings 





Platform shoes

     
     We read the article in our sheet. The headline was 'Fusion? Confusion!'. It was about the woman name's Yumiko, a student from Tokyo studying in U.S, have found herself in difficulty because of  her clothes. She had two bad experiences when she arrived there. The first time was a Saturday night when she went out with some students at her university. A lot of people stares at her because her clothes  were different. The second time a man approached her and wanted to take her away because the way she dress. Yumiko realized that her clothes caused the two problems. When American people go out, they rarely dress up. They usually wear comfortable clothes such as jeans, T-shirt, and sneakers. It's interesting to learn that the image you get of a country from the TV is often very different in reality.

     I had problem about how to use skimming and scanning. I can't find main idea in the passage. I usually think the detail of passage is a main idea. I should try to read and find main idea as much as I can do.


What knowledge do you get this week? 
     When you go to somewhere you should learn thier culture and do like they do. Like a this idiom

'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'

 

 Answer the questions

1.Yumiko had the wrong idea about American students because of American TV programs. Do you think the TV programs about your country are true to life? Give some examples.

No, they don't because on TV programs, they show good- quality clothes and have a lot of accessories but in real life most of people wear comfortable clothes.

 

2.Think of some things that Western students may be surprised about when they come to study in your country. For example, the clothes students wear, the hairstyles, the food, etc.

I think Western students may be surprised about Thai student uniform because they don't have student uniform when they are studying the in university but Thailand still has it. Hairstyle for the student grade 7-10. They need to have short hair and the food of Thailand is very spizy for Westerner such as Som-tam, Tom-yum-kung, etc.
