now the voa special engish program words and their stories
last week i explained some english expressions about clotheseverything i told you was true ,i did not talk through my hat and say something without knowing the facts ,everyone knows that there are many english expressions aobut cloth,there is no need to keep it a secret or keep it under your hat , in fact if i keep talking ,soon in enough you will start to think i am an old hat about this ,a real expert ,do not be fool ,though my friend some times call me a wolf in sheep's clothing ,this is some one who acts like a good person ,but it's really a bad person ,i am not really a bad person
,but i do love clothes .it is always fun to get dress up ,i look great in my best clothes ,when i put them on ,i feel decked out .you might say ,when i wear my best clothes i am dressed to the nines ,or dressed to the teeth ,in fact ,my husband says i look dressed to kill,of course i would never kill anyone .
but there is something special about puting one clothes that are pleasing to the eye.my best cloth are not modern or fashionable,maybe some day they will come into fashion,but i really do not care,they certainly look better on me than my birthday suit ,do you know everyone has a birthday suit,you wear it when you are wearing no cloth at all ,babies are born wearing the birth day suits.
i am very careful with my clothes ,i handle on them with kid gloves ,i try not to get them dirty or torn?? ,most my cloth fit like a glove ,they fit perfectly,but when i eat to much i feel that my cloth might burst at seams,my cloth fill too restrictive of tight,
some of the clothes i like best are hand be downs ,my old sister give them to me when she no longer wanted them ,hand be downs are great ,because ,clothes often caused too much moeny,i live on a shoe string, i have a very small budget and little money to spend on clothes .however my sister has a lot of money to spend on cloth ,maybe some day the shoe will be on the other foot ,the opposite will be ture .i
i will have a lot of money to buy cloth ,and my sister will get hand me downs from me ,i admit i dream of being rich ,i dream that some day i would be ableto live like a rich person .i will know what it is like to walk in another persons shoes ,some of my friends got rich by riding some one else's coattail's .they are successful today as result of some else been successful .
but i believe you should never criticize others for something you would do youself,what is said about someone else can also be said about you,remember if the shoe fits wear it ! |
