Once upon a time, sewing and mending clothes was common. ★1　Why have people stopped mending their clothing? Schools stopped offering home economics classes, technology boomed and fast fashion became increasingly popular. All of a sudden, it’s more inconvenient to fix something than it is to buy something new.
★2　In the past few years, it seems there’s been growing interest in slow fashion—not only saving, but also sewing and mending. On one of the most pleasant corners of the Internet, you’ll find lots of videos showcasing everything from visible mending to beginner sewing journeys.
Why should you learn to mend? ★3　As any eco expert will tell you, the best thing you can do is buy less to begin with. That means shopping for quality items that will stand the test of time, but also learning a few key skills so you can repair those items as needed rather than sentencing them to life in an already - overflowing landfill. It’s also helpful to customize (改制) second - hand items which might not be exactly the right size or a little out of date. 4
Beyond the functional benefits, mending is about using what you have, embracing imperfections, fixing what’s broken, and rejecting the idea that newer is better. The other aspect of mending is mindfulness. 5　It’s meditative (冥想的), slow work. It’s productive, and deeply satisfying. And an added bonus: It’s sustainable.
If you are interested in sewing and mending, it is the perfect time to learn the new skill, which can especially have a positive impact on the world.
A. But all hope is not lost.
B. Because it is a means of making a living.
C. Mending is a great way to reject consumerism.
D. Buying second - hand goods makes it possible to be sustainable.
E. This way, you may find yourself upcycling pieces into ones that suit you.
F. At some point in the last few decades, though, it became something of a lost art.
G. You focus on the task at hand and use your creativity to make your clothes unique.

A majority of the people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. 1　We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic?
Don’t be afraid to be confused.
We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. ★2　Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.
Research, research, research.
3　Researching the author—and the time and place they were writing about—can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.
Just pick the book up.
This step is self - explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. 4　Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula.
Remember: there is no right answer.
There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. 5　Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable!
A. It is a gradual affair.
B. Allow the book to grow with you.
C. It has some form of historical influence.
D. Before you turn to page one, do some digging.
E. Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.
F. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.
G. Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically.
