Pour travailler, qu’est-ce qu’une Parisienne va mettre?

Écoutez ce passage où on parle de la façon dont les Parisiennes s’habillent. Répondez aux questions qui suivent. Vous entendrez le passage deux fois. On considère Paris comme la capitale de la haute couture, bien sûr, mais comment s’habillent les femmes «ordinaires», celles qui ne peuvent pas s’acheter les robes les plus chères du monde? Eh bien, en général, les Parisiennes sont bien habillées. Pour travailler, une femme parisienne va mettre un beau tailleur avec un collant et de belles chaussures — même de beaux sous-vêtements! Il se peut qu’une femme n’ait qu’un ou deux ensembles, mais ils lui vont bien, et la coupe et le tissu sont de la meilleure qualité possible — dans ses prix, évidemment. Une étudiante «pauvre» va peut-être porter le même jean tous les jours, mais avec différents foulards, différents bijoux, avec des bottes ou un blouson en cuir. What will be an ideal response?
