Fundo Escuro

A:
What’s your favorite color? B: It
depends on the use of it. A: What
do you mean? B:
Well, look. For clothes I prefer light colors such as green, white, light blue.
For cars I like black or gray. And
you ? A: I
don’t have a preference really, but I like yellow and green. B:
Yellow is a fantastic color, isn’t it? Why don’t you use it more often? A: Oh
come on! Can you imagine me at work in a yellow suit ? My boss would think I
went crazy! B: Why's
that ? It’s a personal choice,isn't it ? A: Yes,
I know. But tell me, would you do business with a man in a red suit
and a yellow shirt ?
B: I
guess I wouldn’t. A: Why
not ? What’s the big problem? B:
Well, if I didn’t know the guy I wouldn’t trust him. He would look
a bit strange, don’t you think? A:
See ?
You’ve answered your own question. In business or at work it’s better to wear
a gray or navy blue suit. It makes us look more serious. B: Your
right ! But there’s nothing wrong with a yellow sports jacket, is it ? A: No,
of course not. It’s ok. B:
Thanks, it’s a relief to know that. I’ve just bought a beautiful yellow
jacket and I paid good money for it. |
