Where did you get that?!

Fifty years or so ago, if you were the 1)________. of, say, three children, 'second-hand clothes' or 'hand-me-downs' would have probably been one of the things you hated 2)________. in life. In those days, clothes that were past their fashion 'best before date' were not simply thrown 3)________ the bin. No, they were passed down from sister to sister or brother to brother until they had been truly worn out.

4)________days, that has all changed. With families having fewer children, and people less concerned 5)________ getting their money's worth out of things, clothing is now often worn once or twice and then sent off to the landfill. In the UK alone, over 800,000 tonnes of clothing and footwear are thrown away 6)________ year. Luckily, recycling old clothes, in some really cool ways, is becoming more and more fashionable.

While recycling cloth is a great start, it is 7)________ better for the environment if we actually re-use our old clothes first. Here are just a few ways that we can do that...

1. Before you decide to throw your favourite old white T-shirt in the trash, use your imagination and think about 8)________ you could 'jazz' it up yourself. Paint it, embroider it, stamp it, dye it, the options are limitless. And hey, the holes add character!

2. Now you don't 9)________ to say good-bye to your comfy old blue jeans or denim skirt. Using the most basic sewing skills, a few buttons, ribbon and lace you can quickly make a fantastic denim handbag. Look online, there are hundreds of patterns available.

One vintage T-shirt = 0 kg of CO2!

1. Прочитайте цитату ниже. Вы согласны? Как это можно связать с текстом? Обсудите.

Ответ:

Yes, I agree with this quote. I think it relates to the text because the text talks about how people now buy lots of clothes just because they want to follow fashion (greed), not because they actually need them. In the past, people used clothes until they were completely worn out (need). The text suggests we should be less greedy by reusing and recycling clothes, which is better for the planet.

Да, я согласен с этой цитатой. Я думаю, она связана с текстом, потому что в тексте говорится о том, как люди сейчас покупают много одежды просто потому, что хотят следовать моде (жадность), а не потому, что она им действительно нужна (нужда). В прошлом люди носили одежду до тех пор, пока она полностью не изнашивалась (нужда). Текст предлагает нам быть менее жадными, повторно используя и перерабатывая одежду, что лучше для планеты.
