SUITS OR SMART CASUAL?

The modern office dilemma


So what’s appropriate for the office? Experts differ in opinions, but there are a few points they agree on. Ripped and worn looking jeans, shorts and Hawaiian print shirts are all unacceptable. Faded denim is also associated with sloppiness. Keep your look smart. For example, pair up dark jeans with a button-down blazer.

There are two important factors when discussing dress codes in the workplace. First of all, it must be clear. Employees need to know what is expected of them: otherwise, a dress code that is meant to create a relaxed atmosphere might actually increase stress. Second, employees must always consider their clients. We spoke with a lawyer in a firm with a casual dress policy who keeps a jacket and a tie in his office, and puts it on when expecting a client who might be offended by a more casual approach.

And one final thing – no matter what clothes people wear, they must always be clean and neat. Coffee stains are unacceptable on the front of one’s casual as well as one’s formal shirt.


Mark ‘T’ if the statement is true, ‘F’ - if it is false.

1. Cleanliness is always important in the workplace.

After many, many years, after Edison’s mother died he was then one of the greatest inventors of the century, one day he was looking through old families things. Suddenly he saw a folded paper in the corner of a drawer in a desk. He took it and opened it up.

On the paper was written, “Your son is addled. We won’t let him come to school any more”

Edison cried for hours and then he wrote in his diary: “Thomas Alva Edison was an addled child that, by a hero mother, became the genius of the century”.

Many people in Britain try to get their kids to study more by giving them money. However, it doesn’t help students to get better marks for their exams. Surprisingly, but the promise of a trip to a nice and interesting place could encourage students to try harder and do better at school.

Researchers from the University of Bristol in England looked at how promises of cash and tickets to events affected students’ studying and learning. Over 10,000 pupils took part in the research. There was an improvement in classwork and homework, but this did not result in better test scores.

Education expert Dr. Kevan Collins said good teachers were better than promises of rewards to get children to study, especially for children from low-income families.

He added that some pupils have a lot of goals and believe that education is a way of getting what they want out of life, but there are kids who think that working hard doesn’t make a difference.

He wrote: “What really makes the difference is how students are taught”.

           Choose the correct variant: A, B, C, or D.


9. According to the text…

варіанти відповідей

A.   … money can’t improve students’ results in the exams.

B.     students show better exam results when they are paid for it.

C.    … all the students who study well are taken to nice trips.

 D.    parents always pay their children who get good marks.

From “The Secret Life of Bees” by Sue Monk Kidd


          After my morning of capturing bees, I spent the afternoon in the peach stand out on the highway, selling T. Ray’s peaches. It was the loneliest summer job a girl could have, stuck in a roadside hut with three walls and a flat tin roof.

          I sat on a Coke crate and watched pickups zoom by till I was nearly poisoned with exhaust fumes and boredom. Thursday afternoon was usually a big peach day, with women getting ready for Sunday cobblers, but not a soul stopped.

          T. Ray refused to let me bring books out here and read, and if I smuggled one out, say, Lost Horizon, stuck under my shirt, somebody, like Mrs. Watson from the next farm, would see him at church and say, “Saw your girl in the peach stand reading up a story. You must be proud.” And he would half kill me.

          What kind of person is against reading? I think he believed it would stir up ideas of college, which he thought was a waste of money for girls, even if they did, like me, score the highest number a human being can get on their verbal aptitude test. Math aptitude is another thing, but people aren’t meant to be overly bright in everything.
