Getting started with Unit 2: Clothing

In the getting started section of Unit 2, we are introduced to the topic of "Clothing." This section serves as a primer for what we will be learning in the unit. Let's take a look at an exercise from the textbook:

Look at the clothing worn by these individuals and determine their countries of origin. This exercise helps us practice identifying different cultural attire.

1. She is wearing a traditional kimono, so she is from Japan.

2. The ao dai she is wearing suggests she is from Vietnam.

3. His kilt indicates he is from Scotland.

4. The sari she is wearing is a traditional Indian garment, so she is from India.

5. He is dressed in cowboy attire, indicating he is from the western part of the United States.

6. She is wearing a hijab, which suggests she may be from one of the Islamic countries.

This exercise helps us appreciate the diversity of clothing styles around the world and the cultural significance they carry.
