that it's 35℃ out there? Also,-we're going to march along the
streets for hours and dance until midnight. You need to change.
Li Mei :OK. What should I wear?
Carla:Wear somcthing light and cool. I also think you need to wear more
comfortable shoes. It'll be too tiring to walk or dance for a long time
in those shoes.
Li Mei:Hmm ... You're right. Can you wait for me? I'll change right away.
Carla:Sure.
Li Mei:Carla, how do I look now!
Carla:Fantastic! Now let's go and enjoy this festival! It's going to be so
exciting!
