Clothes are important and necessary to us, but do you know how to choose suitable(合适的)clothes in a right way? Here are some ideas for you.

When you go shopping and want to buy some clothes, you should think about which kind of clothes you really need and decide how much money you can spend on them. Then look at the labels that are inside the new clothes.  They tell you how to take care of the clothes.  The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash it in cold water.  The label on a coat may say "dry clean only" and cleaning in water may ruin(损坏) this coat. If you do as the directions say on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best.

Many clothes today must be dry-cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive.  When buying new clothes, you had better check if they need to be dry-cleaned.  You can save money if you buy clothes that can be washed or that are well made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times.

 Clothes that cost more money don't always mean they are better made. They may not fit you, either. On the other hand, less expensive clothes may sometimes look better and fit you well.

When you are interested in something and want to know more about it, you can use the way of asking questions. Asking questions is the first step to find interesting answers. The following steps can guide you during the study.

Step 1 Write down the subject(主题) that you are interested in on a piece of paper. Just get the main idea down. For example, you might write:

Find out more about robots(机器人).

Step 2 Stop and think for a moment about what you have already known about you subject. List what you have already known like the sentences below:

1. The first robot came out in the USA in 1959.

2. A robot can do housework and act as a teacher.

3. Sometimes a robot catches viruses(病毒)and causes a lot of problems.

Step 3 What can you do with what you want to learn? By asking questions, start writing down questions about the robots on the paper:

1. What might robots be like in the future?

2. What other things can robots do for people?

3. What kind of power will robots possibly use in five years?

Step 4 Armed with your list of questions, you can now go to the nearest library or computer to begin your study. As you learn more about your subject, you'll probably find out some new questions.

For example, you might find that robots can help scientists work in dangerous place, like the sea and outer space. How? What happened? Asking new questions can help you study your subject more widely.

The next time you find something interesting to study, take time to organize your thinking by asking good questions. And remember that learning more always brings more questions.
