Now, the VOA Special programmer WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.

(MUSIC)


Today, we will show the word “waste”. It is something people tell us not to do. At home, parents tell us not to watch food in the classroom, teachers tell us not to waste time. On sports team, coaches tell us not to waste energy.

Waste often happens because we use something too much or because we do not use it well, we often use “waste” in arguments. lf we are unhappy with someone, we can say: “Don’t waste my time.” And if you are not happy with something you did, you can say, “Well, that was a complete waste of time.”

We also find it in some useful expressions. The first one is “Haste makes waste.” “Haste” means doing something very quickly. “Haste makes waste” means if you move or do something in a hurry, you could make mistakes. And then it takes more time to correct mistakes. So, if you see your friends doing homework in a hurry, you can suggest, “Be careful with your work, you might make mistakes and then our teacher will make you do it again. Haste makes waste, you know.”

The other common expression is: “Waste Not, Want Not.” This means that if you never waste anything, especially food or money, you will always have it when you need it the most.

Now Let’s hope learning about “waste” in this Words and Their Stories was not a “complete waste of your time.”

What do people usually like to do in their free time? Different people have different answers. Some people like watching TV, because they think it has lots of advantages.

First, watching TV can give us a good rest. After a day’s hard work, we need a good rest. Watching TV can make us relaxed because of the happy music and TV plays.

Besides, watching TV is entertaining（娱乐性的）. There are many kinds of entertainments, like sports activities, entertainments, plays and films all over the world at any time. It’s impossible for us to go to every place to enjoy all the activities in a short time. We need more than ten hours to fly from New York to Paris, a week by train from Beijing to Moscow. But just one second, TV can bring us from a basketball game in New York to a fashion show in Paris by changing channels（频道）.

Most importantly, watching TV is educational. Children can learn different kinds of subjects through the educational programs and the special reports on TV. It’s easy for them to learn Chinese from a Chinese teacher in Beijing and to learn Russian from a Russian teacher in Moscow. We can even learn how to act well from the TV plays and a teacher can teach many students without a huge classroom.

They should not be ‘medicine’ or ‘food’ any longer.”
