to dress to impress

Welcome to English as a Second Language Podcast number 693: Following a Dress Code.

This is English as a Second Language Podcast episode 693. I’m your host, Dr. Jeff McQuillan, coming to you from the Center for Educational Development in beautiful Los Angeles, California.

We invite you – I invite you to go to our website at eslpod.com. There, you will find a Learning Guide for this episode, and your life will be better after that.

This episode is a dialogue between Tae and Nicole. They’re going to be talking about a “dress code,” when certain organizations have requirements for how you must dress. Let’s get started.

Tae: What are you doing? Why are you taking all of my clothes out of my suitcase? I just finished packing that.

Nicole: You’ve packed all of the wrong things. We’re going on a luxury cruise and all you’ve packed are shorts and t-shirts.

Tae: I’m going on vacation and I don’t have to dress to impress.

Nicole: You’ve never been on a cruise like this one, but I have, and there’s a dress code. You’ll need formal wear for some of the dinners.
