Question

    Your mum tells you to put on your hat and gloves. But in winter, sometimes that isn’t enough to keep you warm.

It’s time to put on your qiuku(秋裤)! This is a kind of “thermal underwear(保暖内衣)” and it keeps people warm in the coldest months of the year.

In Western countries, people often call qiuku long johns. Long johns in the US are not very popular. People wear them under other clothes and sometimes people use them as pajamas (睡衣).

In the US, it can get cold and snowy. Parents ask kids(孩子) to wear more layers (层) and long johns. But kids infrequently put them on.

Young people may not like them because they don’t look cool. They may also think they won’t be outside for very long, so they think they will be fine without them and it’s unnecessary(不必要的) to wear a lot.

But it’s really important that kids should forget their pride (自尊心) and wear layers when there are freezing temperatures (冰冻的温度).
