The colorful clothes we wear today are made by machines. But what did ancient people do if they wanted to wear something colorful? Tie-dye (扎染)was a way to do this.
More than 1,000 years ago, the Bai people in Yunnan used tie-dye to dye their clothes. Then this skill became so popular that people gave tie-dye clothes to the emperor as gifts.
To tie-dye, you need to first use tools to tie, sew (缝制), or clip (夹住)your cloth (布料). The folded cloth is then put in dye. The Bai people usually make blue dye from a plant.
As the cloth is folded, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color When you unfold the cloth, you will see beautiful patterns.
In the 1960s, tie-dye became a fashion trend in the US. People tie-dyed T-shirts and jeans imaginative ways. Many children in the US still learn tie-dye in their art classes.
At a recent famous fashion show, an Italian designer surprised people with tie-dye dresses, is like an experiment (实验). People cannot imagine the patterns of the cloth if they don't see them. It's a surprise, the designer said. There is no doubt that the tie-dye trend has never really gone away.
To travel around the world is the dream of many adventurous people. But very few people can afford a global tour because hotels, food and airplane tickets are too expensive. Some people, however, have thought of some ways to realize their dreams.
Laura Cody and Tanbay Theune, a couple from Britain, decided to travel around the world. They have found a good way to pay for their trips. They look after pets for rich house owners. In exchange, they can stay in the houses for free. They have looked after horses, cows, cats, dogs and fish. In two years, the couple has been to Australia, Germany, Spain and Italy. They have stayed in big cities and small villages. The home owners are usually very generous and have given them food, wine and day trips.
Another person who tries to realize her travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor. She travels around the world to visit, review and take photos of the best hotels. She shares the places she stays and the food she eats on the Internet with tens of thousands of followers.
With these ways of making money, traveling around the world is no longer a dream. More and more young people are thinking creatively to make their dream come true.
