IN THIS LESSON
ID: 3055 Upper Intermediate
Today is a typical argument between a parent and child. The child wants some fancy new sports clothes, but the mother says that they already have perfectly suitable clothing, and the mother is more concerned with the fact that they just want to get rid of the old clothes rather than recycle them.

I've already put them out on the doorstep. I've been wearing them for ages, they don't look good and I got running, boxing and exercising almost every day. Now there are so many sports outfits with lots of different functions, I want to buy new ones.
唉儿子啊不是不让你买但是你也要懂得爱惜东西像这套去年底才买的吧穿不到几个月啊丢掉太浪费了

Ah! Son! It's not that I don't want to let you buy them, but you have to understand that you need to make good use out of things. Like this sports gear, didn't you just buy it at the end of last year? You've only worn it a couple of months, so it would be such a waste to throw them out!
