David: Well, normally I take time to dress up but it depends on like if I've woken up early, am I late for school, something like that but, on a normal basis I don't take so much time to dress up. I just take whatever I can get, so that I don't ... cause I don't want to be late. Just dress up and make sure, like, everything is in order, then I leave my house and I head to school cause I also don't want to miss the bus cause apparently there not so many buses where I live, so I don't want to miss my last bus, which would be something really, but ...

大卫：通常我会花时间打扮，不过这要视情况而定，要看我是否起得比较早，或者上学是否会迟到等等，不过通常我不会花太多时间打扮。我只是看到什么穿什么，因为我不想迟到。我基本上就是简单装扮一下，确保一切就绪，然后我就会离开家去学校，因为我不想错过公交车，显然我住的地方没有太多公交车，我不想错过最后一班公交车，那很重要……
