Do you know how to choose new clothes? Before you decide what to buy，there are some things you should think about besides the price and size．

    ·Different shapes，different clothes

    If you are a large person，you should try clothes in dark colors．They will make you look slimmer（更苗條）．If you are a short-necked person，you should try low-collared（低領(lǐng)） clothes．They will make your neck look longer．If you are a slim person，you should try clothes in warm colors，like red，yellow or orange．They will make you look smarter．If you are a short person，you should choose tight（緊身的）and short clothes．They will make you look taller．．．

    ·Read the labels（標(biāo)簽）carefully

There are labels inside all new clothes．The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes．For example，thelabel tells you that the clothes can be washed by hand only． Thelabel tells you that the clothes can’t be washed in water．It should be dry-cleaned．The label tells you that the clothes should be washed in warm water．The   100% cotton label tells you that a piece of clothing is completely made of cotton．The label tells you that you shouldn’t iron the item and the label tells you to iron the piece of clothing at medium（中等）heat（150℃）…

    ·Decide how much money you can spend

    Many clothes today must be dry-cleaned．Dry cleaning is expensive．So if you want to save money，try to choose clothes that can be washed．You can also save money if you buy clothes that are well made．Well-made clothes last longer．Clothes that cost more money are not always better made．They do not always fit better．Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes．

Dear Editor，    I

     Ken I finish my homework，I often chat with my friends on the Internet．Sometimes I play Internet games．But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer．Maybe they have heard of too much bad news about QQ and  Internet games．Once 1 went to a net bar to play games after sch001．But I  told my parents that I played basketball at school．I said so because I didn’t want to make them unhappy．I feel bad about lying．However，，I heed to rest for a while by playing computer games after studying for a long time．I really hope my parents understand me．Do foreign parents do the same to their children ? Please help me．

Dear Wang Lin,      I think it' s not strange for parents to want to keep their children away from anything bad. Foreign parents will do the same as your parents! They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time. they also don' t want their children to play computer games.      Talk to your parents and be honest to them, I think. Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you. It' s never good to do things behind your parents' backs. They aren't fools as you think of them sometimes! Our parents seem to know what is the best for us. Remember: to be honest is the best way.
