    Last week, 36 students in Linyi, Shandong Province, wore beautiful clothes in a show. Their clothes were made of all kinds of waste things.

    The show gave the students a chance to make clothes with their own hands. It also helped them learn to make good use of waste things.

    "We hope to save energy. Our world is short of energy, so I don't want to throw old things away," said Xie Jing at Linyi Art School. Xie had more than 20 CDs from her family and friends. "Though the CDs are old, I look very cool in them!" she said.

    Wang Dandan, a student from the same school, looked like a farmer in her straw (稻草) coat and hat. She picked the straws from the fields and put them all together. "I want to show what people wore in the past," she said.

    Du Yue made clothes like astronauts' clothes. Her clothes were white. When she walked, she tried to be slow. It looked like she was walking on the Moon. "I wish that I could walk on the Moon!" she said.

He often buys things such as mobile phones(手机)and cameras(照相机)on it He spends about two hundred yuan buying things on it each month. It often takes him three days to get his products.

Adam's mother likes buying clothes but she can't try them on(试穿) if she buys the clothes on the Internet. So she often goes shopping with her husband(丈夫). There are some shops near their home, so Adam's parents often go there to shop.
