Maybe we three were the most unlucky graduates in our school history. I’ll never forget the day when we had our graduation ceremony.

I was known for being careless. I often fell down for no reason. Since I fell off the stage （舞台）during my Primary Graduation Ceremony, my family bet （打赌）that I would fall down again during my next graduation ceremony. The day came so quickly. This time, I proudly made it through the whole ceremony without falling …but I knocked over the whole backdrop （背景板）used to take pictures for graduates! I felt so embarrassed the whole morning.

My friend Julia was even more embarrassed. When she together with all the graduates was sitting quietly in the hall at eight in the morning, she didn't expect her father to come to attend her ceremony because he was really busy then. The hall was very quiet and you could even hear a pin （针）drop on the ground. When all of a sudden, out of the silence, she heard "Hey, Julia!" Everyone in the hall looked behind and found Julia's father, with a smile on his face, taking photos for her!

Tiffany was the most beautiful girl of us three. She loved dresses very much. On that day, she dressed herself beautifully and wanted to have some beautiful photos. Unluckily, it was one of the windiest days of our life. The wind blew her beautiful dress up in front of the whole graduate class! She didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Lucky? Unlucky? So lucky! All of these became the unforgettable part of our life!

Are you good with money? Do you get pocket money from your parents or do you work to earn money? Read on to find out about British teenagers and their cash!

Pocket money

Most teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. They might have to do chores to get their pocket money. These chores can include cleaning, cooking, washing dishes, and ironing (熨烫) .

Part-time work

A part-time job is a choice for teenagers who don't have pocket money or who want to earn extra (额外的) money. About 15 percent of teenagers have a job. Only children over the age of 13 can work. Popular part-time jobs for teens include babysitting, delivering newspapers, shop work and restaurant work.

Children in Britain can work a maximum (最多) of two hours a day on a school day but not during school hours. During weekends and school holidays, they can work longer hours.

Bank account (账户) .

Some children and teenagers have a bank account. There is no legal (法定的) age limit (限 制) at which you can open a bank account, but a bank manager can decide whether to open an account for a child or young person. Parents can put pocket money directly into their child's bank account. Most banks have a prepaid(预付的) bank card designed for young people.

So, many teenagers are getting experience working part-time, dealing with banks and deciding whether to save or spend their money. These are all steps towards becoming a financially (财政上) independent person and earning and looking after your own money.

Many students have problems with vocabulary when preparing for tests. Here is some advice on how to memorize (记忆) new words. You can build up your English vocabulary with these methods.

Repeated encounters (反复遇见)

The usual way of “memorizing” new words is through repeating them while they’re still in your mind. However, simply repeating a word doesn’t seem to be useful. But the following way is helpful: repeated encounters. Words can be memorized more easily if they’ve been met at least seven times in your reading. So, read English magazines and newspapers from time to time.

Spacing and review

It’s necessary to make a plan of your memory work over a period of time. You’d better memorize words day by day instead of doing it in a single day. That’s why new vocabulary introduced in one lesson is reviewed in the next, and then in later lessons.

Use it or lose it

Putting words to use in interesting ways helps add them to your long-term memory. In a study of vocabulary learning, students who made up their own sentences with new words and read them aloud memorized them better than those who learned the words separately and silently. Besides, you can imagine a picture when memorizing a new word. That can help a lot.

Mix it up

Let’s face it — learning words can be really boring, but it doesn’t have to be. Thanks to the Internet, there are more interesting ways to get the job done. Try watching videos from English-speaking countries and copying the way they speak. You can even upload (上传) your own videos and try becoming a star yourself.
