There's a hidden mistake that makes you sound rude and unfriendly, even when you're trying to be polite. Most English learners never notice it.

 Common Mistakes Make You Sound Rude to Native Speakers

So, what exactly is a Mistake Book? It’s a notebook where you log your language mistakes using a structured approach. Each page is divided into three columns:
•	Column 1: The Mistake – Write down the mistake exactly as you made it, whether it’s in speaking, writing, or grammar.
•	Column 2: The Correction – This is where you write the correct version of the sentence or phrase.
•	Column 3: The Explanation – Briefly explain why it’s a mistake. Keep it concise—just enough to remind you of the rule or reason behind the correction.
For example, if you wrote “I have went to the store” instead of “I have gone to the store,” the explanation might be: "Use the past participle ‘gone’ instead of ‘went’.’"

Tip 45 - Create a Mistake book as a reminder not to repeat the same mistake again.

Textile waste is an urgent global problem, with only 12% recycled worldwide, according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a fashion sustainability nonprofit.

Nowhere is the problem greater than in China, the world's largest textile producer and consumer, where more than 26 million tons of clothes are thrown away each year, according to government statistics. Most of it ends up in landfills.

The country's clothing industry is dominated by "fast fashion" — cheap clothes made from unrecyclable synthetics. And Chinese e-commerce brands Shein and Temu make the country one of the world's largest producers of cheap fashion, selling in more than 150 countries.

Currently, only about 20% of China's textiles are recycled, according to the Chinese government. And many Chinese consumers are unwilling to buy used items anyway.

Still, among younger Chinese, there is a growing awareness of sustainability and some "remade" clothing businesses have emerged.

Designer Zhang Na's fashion label, Reclothing Bank, sells clothes, bags and other accessories made from materials such as plastic bottles, fishing nets and flour sacks.

The items' labels have QR codes that show their composition, how they were made and the source of the materials.

Reclothing Bank began in 2010 to give "new life to old things," Zhang said of her store in Shanghai. A large used clothes deposit box sits outside the entrance.

Zhang said she has seen sustainability consciousness grow since she opened her store, with core customers in their 20s and 30s.

But recycled garments sold at stores like Reclothing Bank cost much more than fast-fashion brands due to their production methods.

And that's the real problem, said Sheng Lu, professor of fashion and apparel studies at the University of Delaware.

"Studies repeatedly show consumers are not willing to pay higher for clothing made from recycled materials" he said.
