'Make do and mend' = dùng những gì mình có và sửa chữa -> nghĩa là giữ lại thứ gì đó lâu nhất có thể bằng cách sửa chữa thay vì mua mới.

Ví dụ
Getting back into the spirit (tinh thần) of make-do and mend is, crucial according to Sarah. “They don’t make furniture like they used to and with the current economic climate, people don’t want to go out and buy new. They want to give things a new lease of life. That’s our ethos (đặc tính).

In 1918, the government set up a new department (phòng ban) – The Ministry of Information (MOI) – to oversee publicity and propaganda (tuyên truyền). It was short-lived but returned during the second world war. Campaigns such as the Make Do and Mend and Dig for Victory projects, educated the public on the vital role that civilians could play in the war effort.

Jacqueline Dethloff smiles as Stephanie Lewin, both of the World War II USO Preservation Association, demonstrates how to pin curl hair during the “Mingling Through the Decades” event at the Southwest Library on Saturday. The event focused on how people interacted during the era and included period clothing, ration cooking, “make do and mend” and re-enactment (ban hành lại) of a USO mixer.
