    Now, the VOA Special English program: Words and the Their Stories.
    Last week, I explained some English expressions about clothes. Everything I told you was true. I did not talk through my hat or say something without knowing the facts.
    Everyone knows there are many English expressions about clothes. There is no need to keep it a secret, or keep it under your hat. In fact, if I keep talking, soon enough you will start to think I am an old hat about this, a real expert. Do not be full those fooled, though. My friends sometimes call me a wolf in sheep?Ts clothing. This is someone who acts like a good person, but it?Ts is really a bad person.
    And I?Tm not really a bad person. But I do love clothes. It is always fun to get dressed up. I look great in my best clothes. When I put them on, I feel dress down; decked out. You might say when I wear my best clothes, I am dressed up to the nines or dress to the tiff that teeth. In fact, my husband said says I look dressed to kill. Of course, I would never kill anyone. But, there is something special about putting on clothes that are pleasant pleasing to the eyes.
    My best clothes are not model modern (2 chữ này khác nhau rõ ràng) or fashionable. Maybe some days someday they will come into fashion, but I really do not care. They certainly look better on me on than my birthday suit. Do Did you know that everyone has a birthday suit? You wear it when you are wearing no clothes at all. Babies are boring wearing their birthday suits.
    I am very careful with my clothes. I hang up handle them with kid-gloves. I try not to get them dirty or toll torn. Most of my clothes fits like kid- a glove -- they fit perfectly. But when I eat too much, I feel like my gloves my births clothes might burst at the scene seams. My gloves fill to rich flat tire clothes feel too restrictive and tight.
    Some of the clothes I like best or are hand-me-downs. My older sister gave them to me when she ?Ts no longer wanted them. Hand-me-downs are great because clothes often cost too much money. I live on a shoestring. I have a very small budget and little money just to spent on clothes. However, my sister has a lot of money to spend on clothes. Maybe some days someday the shoe will be on the other foot. The opposite will be true. I will have a lot of money to buy clothes and my sister will get hanging hand-me-downs from me.
    I had met. admit I dream I?Tm of being rich. I dream that some days someday I will be able to live like a rich person. I will know where is it (đảo lại mới đúng) like to walk in another person?Ts shoes. Some of my friends got rich by riding someone else?Ts (âm /siz/ mà bạn nghe là sở hữu cách của từ else) six ****tail coat tails. They are successful today as a result of someone else?Ts being successful. But, I believe you should never criticize others for something you would do yourself. What you is said about someone else can also be said about you. Remember: if the shoe fits, wear it!

That In fact, (ko hiỏằfu sao in fact mà nhiỏằu ngặỏằi nghe thành that thỏ nhỏằ?) my husband says I look dressed to kill. Of course, I would never kill anyone. But there is something special about putting on clothes that are pleasing to the eye.
    My best clothes are not modern or fashionable. Maybe someday they will come in to fashion. But I really do not care. They certainly look better on me than my birthdayõ?Ts suit. Did you know that everyone has a birthdayõ?Ts suit? (cÂu hỏằi) You wear it when you are wearing no clothes at all. Babies are born wearing their birthdaysõ?T suits.
    I am very careful with my clothers clothes. I handle them with kit kid gloves. I try not to get them dirty or torn. Most of my clothes fit like a glove. They fit perfectly. But when I eat too much, I feel like my clothes, my might burst at the same seams. My clothes feel too restrictive and tight.
    Some of the clothes I like best are hand-me-downs. My older sister gave them to me when she no longer wanted them. Hand-me-downs are great because clothes often cost too much money. I live on a shoestring. I have a very small budget and little money to spend on clothes. However, my sister has a lot of money to spend on clothers. Maybe someday the shoe will be on the other foot. The opposite will be true. I will have a lot of money to buy clothes and my sister will get hand-me-downs from me.
    I am rich. admit I dream of being rich. I dream that someday I will be able to live like a rich person. I would will know what it is like to walk in an other person õ?~s shoes. Some of my friends got rich by riding someone elseõ?Ts curtail coat tails. They are successful today as a result of some one elseõ?Ts being successful. But, I believe u should never criticize others for something you would do yourself. What is said about some else can also be said about you. Remember, if the shoe fits, wear it.
