second-hand / pre-loved clothesdes vêtements d'occasion
I found this vintage jacket in a charity shop.J'ai trouvé cette veste vintage dans une boutique caritative.
It was a real bargain!C'était une vraie bonne affaire !
It's worth looking in second-hand shops.Ça vaut la peine de chercher dans les boutiques d'occasion.
Buying second-hand is more sustainable.Acheter d'occasion est plus durable.
Clothes swaps are becoming popular.Les trocs de vêtements deviennent populaires.

Au Royaume-Uni, les boutiques caritatives (charity shops), qui vendent des dons au profit d'associations, font partie du paysage de chaque rue commerçante. Les vêtements d'occasion (second-hand, ou plus joliment pre-loved) attirent de plus en plus de jeunes : c'est moins cher, plus original et plus durable (sustainable), car la mode est l'une des industries les plus polluantes. On achète, on revend en ligne (resell) ou on échange lors de trocs (clothes swaps). Gérondif : It's worth + V-ing (ça vaut la peine de), Buying second-hand is... (le verbe en -ing comme sujet).

Mise en situation : dans la rue commerçante

Ava : I love your jacket! Where did you buy it?
J'adore ta veste ! Où l'as-tu achetée ?
Malik : In a charity shop, for six pounds! It's vintage, from the 1990s.

Ava : Six pounds? What a bargain! I'd never thought of buying second-hand clothes.
Six livres ? Quelle bonne affaire ! Je n'avais jamais pensé à acheter des vêtements d'occasion.
Malik : It's worth looking. And buying pre-loved is better for the planet.
Ça vaut la peine de chercher. Et acheter d'occasion, c'est mieux pour la planète.
Ava : And the money goes to charity, right?
Et l'argent va à une association, c'est ça ?
