IV. Speaking Out
Model 1 How did you like the fashion show?
Laura: How did you like the fashion show last night?
John:  It was dumb¹. I think it’s stupid of women to wear clothes like that.
Laura:  I didn’t see anything wrong with the clothes; they looked pretty nice to me.
John:  Do you really think people can wear that stuff² and walk around the streets?
Laura: Yes, I do. At least, some people certainly can. They wear high-fashion clothes to show off their sense of style and wealth.
John:  Well, I still think they’re dumb. It makes more sense to spend the money on more practical purposes.
