It was the week before school started. Alice went shopping with two of her friends, Tina and Linda. Alice put on a black coat and turned to her friends. She asked, "Hey, how do I look in the coat?"
The girls looked at her and both started laughing(大笑). " No way. Alice!" Tina went on, "I think it is like a coat for men."
Hearing that, Alice was not happy. She said, "Yeah, well, I like it." "We know you like it," said Linda. "But what will other people at school say?"
Alice thought for a moment. Then she took off the coat. "Yeah, you're right. Most people don't want to be different."
Several minutes later, Alice was still thinking about the black coat."There's peer pressure(同伴压力)to follow others," she said. "When other students see your clothes are different, they may make fun of you."
Linda nodded, "That's true. They will even laugh and point."
At this time, Alice walked away. "Hey, Alice!" Tina shouted. "Where are you going?"
"To get the black coat I want. I don't care what others think. I like it," Alice said.
