芳：大家好，我是芳，來自越南。JM: And I'm JM from the Philippines.
JM：我是JM，來自菲律賓。Phuong: And today's question is when do you like to dress up? How about you first JM?
芳：今天要討論的話題是，你什麼時候會打扮？JM，你先來回答好嗎？
JM: Well I don't really like to dress up in general, I just wear what I'm wearing right now, tee shirt shorts and sneakers but of course on special occasions like, say, a friend's wedding or maybe like an interview or something like that or for a date, then yes I would need to dress up. How about you?
JM：總的來說，我不太喜歡打扮，我一般就像現在這樣穿，T恤、短褲和運動鞋，當然像是朋友的婚禮、面試或是約會這樣的特殊場合，我是需要打扮一下的。你呢？Phuong: Sure for a date you need to dress up.
芳：約會時當然要打扮了。JM: Yes, definitely.
JM：對，沒錯。Phuong: For me though I think girls like to dress up every day because they want to be beautiful in the eyes of the others. For me, I don't think that it is dress up but for anything like some ocasion like proms, parties and some special occasion as well, yeah a date of course, and some occasion like weddings and some ceremony, I think it is a good time to dress up to make yourself beautiful and also it is a way to respect the opposite people so I think...
芳：雖然我認爲女生喜歡每天打扮自己，因爲她們想讓其他人覺得她們很漂亮。但是我認爲在舞會、派對、一些特殊場合、約會、婚禮和典禮時才需要打扮，我認爲那是精心打扮、把自己裝扮漂亮的好時機，同時那也是尊重對方。JM: Yes, that's right.
JM：對，沒錯。Phuong: Yes, sure. OK.
芳：對，好。JM: All right, bye bye.
JM：好，再見。Phuong: Bye.
芳：再見。
