Listen to the dialogue following the text. Answer the question: Why do these people disagree with each other?
— You’ve got to wear a dress!
— I don’t have to!
— It’s our family reunion, and I don’t want you to look like too wild!
— Fine, then I’ll just stay at home!
— You’re going and that’s final! I insist that you go to the party with me!
— I don’t even have a dress to wear.
— Yes, you do. What about the black velvet one your grandmother gave you for your birthday?
— It’s too square, too conservative. Everyone will laugh.
— Everyone will think you look lovely.
— Oh, great… lovely! Just how I want to look!
— It’s almost time to leave. I think you’d better get ready.
— Who’s going to be there?
— Well, the same people as last year: your cousins, your grandparents… and, of course, great-grandmother Schuller.
— Great-grandmother Schuller! She’s so old. All she does is sit in her wheelchair and watch us. She gives me the creeps (у меня от нее мороз по коже).
— Carrie, this is a special party. Can’t you forget about yourself? Do you think that just because you’re young and pretty, you are better than old people? Well, I have something to tell you, young lady. Beauty is as beauty does, and I haven’t seen any sign of beauty in you for a long time. Now go to your room and get dressed.
They disagree because Carrie does not want to wear a dress and go to the family reunion, while her mother insists that she must go and dress properly. Carrie also looks down on her great-grandmother, and her mother is upset by Carrie’s rude attitude toward older people.
