Unit7Fashion•VeraWang，人名，著名华裔设计师，被称为婚纱女王，旗下拥有多个个人品牌，如中、平价衣服及香水品牌，曾是花样滑冰运动王薇薇[•(VeraWang)是婚纱女王，一点也不为过。在每年的奥斯卡金像奖星光大道上，王薇薇(VeraWang)就像是永不会出错、绝不会让女星得到“最差劲服装奖”的品质保证。王薇薇(VeraWang)的婚纱设计引起了时尚界的一场婚纱革命，一套王薇薇(VeraWang)婚纱，就如同一颗Tiffany的六爪钻戒一样，象征着神圣珍贵的爱情承诺。一件王薇薇(VeraWang)婚纱的价格足够买下一辆名车，但照样让人无限向往，争相追逐。•面对着现在年收入两千万美元的好业绩，王薇薇(VeraWang)一定会感慨世事难料。王薇薇(VeraWang)当初设计的第一套婚纱是为自己准备的，因为她在结婚的时候，却不幸地发现竟然找不到一件合心意的婚纱，不得已之下才自己动手做嫁衣。从此便一发不可收。李玟同样选择了VeraWang的婚纱作为嫁衣，这件白色鱼尾立体蕾丝婚纱将李玟玲珑的身材衬托得更加前凸后翘凹凸有致，李玟笑得十分幸福，整个造型显得大气华贵，浪漫唯美。希望李玟穿着这件唯美的VeraWang，与Bruce一同走向幸福的彼岸。在经历了爱情长20年的刘嘉玲梁朝伟于2008年7月21日在不丹举行婚礼。已经40多岁的刘嘉玲穿上这款价值为30万的VeraWang定制婚纱难掩内心的喜欢，如同一个娇羞的公主。这款婚纱全身上下都绣满了简洁但异常精致的花朵。裙摆处的设计巧妙运用了白色条纹与格纹的结合，并不太打眼但也没有重复裙摆处惯用的花边设计，与裙身的花朵形成对比与呼应。•在美国有这样一句流行语：“未婚的姑娘憧憬拥有一件VeraWang婚纱，已婚的女士时常怀念自己穿过的那件VeraWang，再婚的女人庆幸自己可以再要一件VeraWangSummarizingsummarizingshouldhelpidentifyfiveW's:→who,what,when,where,whyListentotheconversationandmakeasummaryofitsmainpoints.Completethefollowingsummary.Amanisatastore.Hewantstobuyamedium-sizedwhiteT-shirtwithasloganonthefront.Heishelpedbyashopassistantingettingwhathewants.•M:Excuseme.DoyouhaveaT-shirtofthiskindinalargersize?•W:Whatsizedoyouwant?•M:Medium.•W:Pardon?•M:Iwantamedium.•W:Here’samediuminblack.Doyoulikeit?•M:Well,Ilikethepictureonthefront,butI’dpreferawhiteonewithasloganonthefront.•W:Here’sawhiteoneinmedium.Andit’s100%cotton.•M:Perfect.I’lltakeit.50年代-90年代的服装变化Whatisfashion？Fashion,inmostcases,referstothestylesofclothing,hairstyles,etc.thatarepopularataparticulartime.Fashionchangesquickly.Forexample,mini-skirtswereallthefashioninthe1960sbuttheywereoutoffashioninthe1980s.Manypeople,especiallywomenandtheyoung,liketofollowthefashion,whichisusuallysetbyfamousfilmstars,popsingers,andmodels.What'syourattitudestowardsfashion?People’sattitudestowardsfashiondiffergreatly.Somepeoplethinkgoingafterthefashionisnothingbutawasteofmoney.Othersthinkchangingfashionscanmaketheworldmorecolorfulandbeautiful.Wearingwell-designedclothescanmakeonefeelgoodandcanreflectone’spersonality.ListeningtasksApassageFashion—ImageorReality?Listentothepassageandchoosetherightanswerstothequestionsyouhear.1.Whatisthemainreasonwhypeoplespendmuchmoneyonfashionaccordingtothespeaker?a.Theywanttolookgoodandhealthy.b.Theywanttocreateanewimageforthemselves.c.Theywanttolooklikemodels.d.Theywanttobemoresuccessful.Theanswer:b2.Whatdoes“Clothesmaketheman”meaninthepassage?a.Peopleshouldwearfashionableclothes.b.Peoplejudgeeachotherbytheclothestheywear.c.Clothescanshowone’ssocialstatus,andmakeonefeelgood.d.Clothescantellone’spersonality.Theanswer:c3.What’sthespeaker’sattitudetowardsfashion?a.Positive.b.Negative.c.Doubtful.d.Neutral.中立的Theanswer：d1.Arecentstudyusingelementarystudentswasinteresting.TheysaidthatpeoplewearingCalvinKleindesignsweremorehandsomeandsuccessfulthanthosewearingWranglers.Levi’s-wearerswereseenassporty,fashionableandfun!2.Clothesthatlookgreatonprofessionalmodelsmaylookterribleonaveragebuyers.3.Expensiveclothescanmakethewearerfeellikepartofthehighstatusgroupthatsetstasteandstyle.Soyouarebuyinganimageofsuccess.4.Whenyoudressinexpensiveclothes,yourmoodbrightens.Youfeelgood,readytofaceanotherdaywithenergy.5.Ofcourse,alotofpeopledon’tlikehighfashion.They’dratherspendtheirmoneyonsomethingpractical.Whichwouldyouprefer—theimageorthereality?•Fashion--ImageorReality?•Whydopeoplespendsomuchmoneyonfashion?Dotheywanttocreateanimageormakesuretheyarenotold-fashioned?Dopeoplereallyjudgeeachotherbytheclothestheywear?Thebillion-dollarfashionindustrycertainlytriestoconvinceconsumersthatsuchjudgementsaremade.Unfortunately,theymayberight.Arecentstudyusingelementaryschoolstudentswasinteresting.TheysaidthatpeoplewearingCalvinKleindesignerjeansweremorehandsomeandsuccessfulthanthosewearingWranglers.Levi-wearerswereseenassporty,fashionableandfun!ObviouslywelearnearlythatClothesmaketheman.Inotherwords,clothesshowage,outlook,statusandincome.However,clothesthatlookgreatonprofessionalmodelsmaylookterribleontheaveragebuyer.Althoughbeautifulclothesdon'thelpphysically,theyareimportantforsocialandpsychologicaleffects.Expensiveclothescanmakethewearerfeellikepartofthehighstatusgroupthatsetstasteandstyle.Soyouarebuyinganimageofsuccess.Youmayreallylivearoutinelife,wakingupinthemorningfeelingdullandordinary.Butwhenyoudressintheseexpensiveclothes,yourmoodbrightens.Youfeelgood,readytofaceanotherdaywithenergy.Soundcrazy?Peoplewholoveclothessayit'strue.Ofcourse,alotofpeopledon'tlikehighfashion.They'dratherspendtheirmoneyonsomethingpractical.Whichwouldyouprefer--theimageorthereality?购物用语1.CanIhelpyou?/WhatcanIdoforyou?2.I'mjustlooking.我只是随便看看。3.我想买...I'mlookingfor+商品.I'dlike+商品.I'dliketobuy+商品.Iwanttobuy+商品.6.Willthisonebealright/OK?这件行吗？Itlooksverynice.7.CanItryiton?Where'sthefittingroom?Isthereamirror?Itdoesn'tfit.It'stooshort/tight/long/small/big.8.Howmuchisit?It'stooexpensive.That'sreasonable.9.I'lltakeone.3.您这儿有卖...的吗？Doyouhaveany+商品？（somepants,someshirts,somecoats,somesweaters,somesuits,etc）Sorry,wehaven't.Sorry,weonlyhave+其他商品.Lookattheseone.看看这些。4.Whatcolordoyouwant?你要什么颜色？Ilike+颜色.5.Whatsize
