Look at the pictures. What are they wearing? Now read an email from Mike to a friend. In the pictures, which one is Mike, and which one is his new coworker?
Hi Angelica,
Well, here I am in Berlin! I still can’t believe it – I had an interview one month ago, and I started work today!
So far, Europe’s OK, very pretty. But the weather is worse than at home – colder, wetter, windier – horrible! For my first day on the job, I wore my winter suit with a blue tie.
I didn’t know it, but the dress code at this company is a lot less formal than at my old company. Sneakers and T-shirts for almost everyone. A lot of the men wear bracelets and earrings! And everything is more modern than at my old office. The work is more or less the same, but the people are much warmer and friendlier than in my old office. Maybe it’s the sneakers!
It’s definitely a more interesting place to work, and the money is better, too. I’m really lucky. But I’m going to need to buy some casual clothes!
Mike
