dì bā shí sì kè jì huà wǎn jiān de wài chū huó dòng! 第八十四課 計劃晚間的外出活動！ Lesson 84 Planning an evening out! 臨臨時做出計劃約請朋友晚間外出是可以的，但是提前安排好計劃則更為禮貌。典型的約會包括看電影、跳舞、唱卡拉OK、或參加社交聚會。每個人都應該準確地掌握兩種場合的基本著裝禮儀，即正式場合和非正式場合。參加正式的晚宴，應著晚禮服為宜；參加非正式的活動，著休閑裝即可。 It's OK to make plans with friends for evening parties at the last minute. It's more polite, however, to make them ahead of time. Typical dates include going to the movies, going dancing, singing karaoke or going to parties. Everybody should accurately grasp basic dress etiquette for two types of occasions, formal and informal. Evening attire is appropriate for formal parties while casual wear is proper for informal activities.
