The Hamptons: For Those Who Like Their Margaritas with a Side of Pretentiousness
Let's be honest, the Hamptons are basically the adult version of summer camp. You'll find plenty of overpriced ros�, people wearing more white than a wedding, and enough designer sunglasses to blind a hawk. But hey, if you're into that sort of thing, more power to ya! Just remember to pack your most expensive swimsuit and prepare to be judged on your yacht size.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.

Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
