Unit 5
Chapter 3
IV. Reading
Mr. Pak bought a new shirt last week. The mterial is synthetic, but it looks and feels natural. Mr. Pak felt uncomfortable wearing the shirt at first because it's very loud. He grew shy and didn't want to wear it on the street. Gradually, however, he became more daring, and now he wears it almost everyday. When he wears it, he feels like a new person. Although Mr. Pak is an old man, his new shirt makes him look and feel young.
