3. What’s Andy? The first assistant of Miranda Priestly, the chief editor of Runway. 4. Why is Emily very disapproving of Andy? She rejects Andy, because in her eyes Andy is a girl who can never enter the fashion world and get a job as Miranda’s assistant. But Miranda chose Andy. After her change with the fashionable wearing, the gorgeous look of Andy makes Emily feel threatened. * 5. What brands in the video are you familiar with? Docle (朵琪拉) / Jimmy Choo (吉米 周) / Manolo Blahnik / Nancy Gonzalez / Narciso Rodriguez / Chanel (香奈尔)/ Shu Uemura (植村秀) 6. How does Andy learn to express herself through fashion? To wear something great and suitable for her and be a part of the fashion world. * Clip 2 The Devil Wears Prada --- Blue 1. What are they doing in the wardrobe room? To select clothes. 2. Why isn’t Miranda satisfied with their preparations? Although those editors have plenty of time to prepare for the run-through, all the clothes they offer are outdated in Miranda’s eyes. * 3. How does Andy appear first at her post? She is out of fashion as she cares little about fashion. 4. How do you get the impression? We get it from her colleagues’ expressions. * 5. Do you think she could accept Miranda’s criticism? Why? It depends. Yes. On the previous clip we find that Andy changes her shoes for high-heeled ones after being stared by Miranda, which shows that she cares what her boss thinks of her. Even a soundless criticism has changed her behavior. So this time she will definitely accept the obvious hint, the criticism. No. Because Andy has ideas of her own and she has her own dreams, nothing to do with fashion. She cares little about fashion. In her opinion, it’s a waste of time to spend too much energy and money just in picking up some clothes. So she will not accept Miranda’s criticism. * 8.
