Are you ready to start managing your money? Then you need to make a plan, called a budget. In your budget, you will record the money that you get, earn, spend and save.
Here’s how a budget works. Cassie gets an allowance (零花钱) and does chores around the house. Sometimes, she also earns money helping people in the neighborhood. Cassie hasn’t been able to save any money, and she wants to buy a guitar. She does not know where all her money goes. So she asks her parents for help setting up a budget. Here are the steps she followed.
She wrote down the money she earned in the first week.
Money Earned
Allowance ……………….$ 5.00 Dust furniture ..........................$ 4.00
Be mother’s helper for Mrs. King …$ 5.00 Total .....................................$ 14.00
Whenever Cassie spent money, she wrote down how much she spent.
Money Spent
Movies ……………………$ 5.00 Pizza/Soda............................... $ 2.90
Snack ……………………$ 0.75 Snack .......................................$ 1.25
Magazine ………………$ 3.20 Total ...........................................$ 13.10
At the end of the first week, she looked it over. Then she found that she had spent too much money. So she looked for ways to spend less and save more. She decided to bring snacks from home. She also decided that she would see if another family in the neighborhood needed a mother’s helper.
Over the next few months, Cassie’s budgeting helped her reach her goal. She saved enough to buy a guitar.
Now she needs to save for guitar lessons!

First, you should build up confidence(自信). If you believe that you can learn, you will learn. When you read or listen to something, you may not be able to understand (理解) it all. Don’t worry. You can use a dictionary to help you. You can ask your teacher or friends to help you. Do not be afraid of making mistakes. You can learn from mistakes.
Second, practise using English. For example, write a diary in English every day, and you’ll be able to write better. Speak English whenever you can. You may practise with your friends after class. Then you’ll be able to speak better.
Remember the famous saying, “Practice makes perfect.” The more you practise using English, the better you’ll learn it.

Here are things students often do：
Turn off the water! Do you know that some toilets can waste twenty to
forty tons of water an hour? In a year, that would fill a small water! In environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.
No-car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car-not the students and not the teachers. Cars give pollution to our air, so remember: walk, jump, bike or run.
Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!
No-garbage(垃圾) lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch?
Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used
again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage
and report them to the whole school.
We love our environment! Let’s work together to make it clean!

Food

46% have fish and chips!
Sports
British people don’t do a lot of sports. Only 17% of people go swimming every week, about 9% go cycling and 8% play golf—and only 6% of people play football( but 32% go to watch it ).

Holidays
British people love going on holiday, and have 56 million holidays every year. Most of these holidays aren’t in the UK—27% are in Spain,10% are in the USA, and 9% are in France. Maybe this is because the weather in Britain isn’t very good!

【推荐3】The epidemic(疫情)has changed our lives. It not only forces us to stay at home, but also changes the way we work, study, and even go shopping. In many countries, the Novel Corona Virus Disease(COVID-19)has also changed the way people greet each other. To help stop the spread of disease, people give up their usual greeting styles and invent safe ways. Let's take a look!
Lean forward, touch cheeks(脸颊)and make a kissing sound. This is French people's favorite way of greeting. It's very romantic. But when facing the virus, kisses are not good. Etiquette expert(礼仪专家)Philippe Lichtfus gives people a suggestion: simply looking into a person's eyes can be a greeting. It's not so romantic but it's safe.
Like the French, Italians are also romantic people. When they meet, they always hug or kiss each other. Recently, an Italian grandma made a video to help everyone fight against the disease.
She says that if you meet, you can close one of your eyes and give them a wink. Isn't it cute?
It's a very Australian thing to shake hands. But if you do this, the virus can jump from one person to another. Now a health official in Australia says a pat on the back would be better. But it also has some problems. For example, it's a bit crude if you do this to your teachers.
A video shows that an interesting greeting way is now popular in Iran. In the video, 3 Iranians meet and tap their feet against each other. They wear masks with their hands in their pockets. It looks like they are playing a fun game. If we can't shake hands, why not try to "shake" feet?
1. Why do people give up their usual greeting styles nowadays?| A．To make life more interesting. | B．To change their study way. |
| C．To protect themselves from the disease. | D．To invent some new things. |
①Touch cheeks.
②Hug each other.
