Have you ever considered the way you spend your money? What do you buy? When do you buy? It is important to use your money wisely. Then, you will have enough for the things you want. You can make smart decisions about your money.     1    

One way to be smart with your money is to shop around before you buy. Visit more than one store, check the prices at each store, and try not to be in a hurry to buy. You do not have to buy at the first store you visit; another store might have what you want at a lower price.     2    

Another way to be smart with your money is to wait for a sale.     3     For example, suppose you want to buy a camera. Wait until a store has a sale. You can save 20 percent, 30 percent, or more on the price of the camera by waiting for a sale. Some stores also offer a discount if you buy more than one of an item. So, look for sales offering a lower price per item if you buy two of that item. You could save money.

    4     For instance, large bags of dog food usually cost less per pound than small bags cost. A large pack of pens usually costs less per pen than a small pack of pens. So, even though you may spend more on a large size, you are really saving money per item.

You can learn to be smart with your money.     5     You cannot always have what you want right away. But if you are patient, you will save money. Then, you will have more money to spend on what you want.

【推荐1】Many years ago, I was a shy boy and lived a very peaceful life. I liked school but I felt bored.

And then I started the fourth grade. My teacher, Mrs. Chen, was a young woman who was good at writing, art and music. Her class was very interesting. With her help, I started Fun Club with some boys in my class and achieved great success. I also wrote a book called Through the Forest. And lots of my classmates liked it. I can always feel the joy in her eyes when she looked at me and it made me more confident（自信的）.

However, I was surprised when fifty years later I got a letter about a reunion（聚会）. A few days later. we had the reunion at Mrs. Chens home. Reconnecting with Mrs. Chen was a journey back in time. Fifty years have passed, but my teacher still remembers every student. She even doesn't forget the class bully（恶棍）—a boy used to hit me with snow balls on my way to school. Lots of teachers thought bullying was nothing serious at that time, but Mrs. Chen didn't agree. She put a stop to it at once when she found out about it, But on that special day, she didn't look down upon him because she knew that everyone deserves（应得） a second chance.

Now, in my mid—fifties, I appreciate the gifts Mrs. Chen has given me even more. I can still learn from her. It's never too late to say thanks to this fantastic teacher. I hope you are lucky enough to have one teacher like Mrs. Chen.

【推荐2】Should teenagers be allowed to have jobs? There are several ways to look at the question. Of course, in some family situations, having a teen’s job may be good. These families usually can’t afford to buy what their children like. If the teenagers want to buy something enspensive, they will have to go out to work.
But what about the families that are doing all right and don’t need their teens to have a job to get by?
Some parents want their teens to work so that they can learn resoponsibility and stay out of trouble after school. Getting their first job also helps teach teens the value of money and how hard it is to earn. In fact, having a job is good for teens in some ways.
Not all teens, however, need the extra money by getting a job. If a teen wants to take part in after school activites such as soprts or games, having job could get in the way of that. Teens only get one chance to be teens and being on school sports teams might be the only chance in their lifetime. Once high school and college are over, it will be very difficult to find such a chance. So parents should think twice before allowing their children to get jobs.
There are of course some teens who really want to work and that is fine. Everyone is different. If a teen wants to work to make extra money, then he or she should be allowed to do it.     As teens, they should be allowed to learn about social life.

【推荐3】Do you like living in a city? Look at the good sides. It is often easier to find work. And there is usually a choice (选择) of public transport (公共交通), so you don’t need to own a car. Also, there are a lot of interesting things to do. For example, you can eat in good restaurants, pay a visit to museums and go to the theater and concert. What’s more, when you want to relax, you can easily find a park to feed the ducks or just sit on the park bench and read a book.

Also, public transport is usually crowded, and even the parks can become full of people on Sundays. Besides, although there are many people in the city, it is still possible to feel lonely (孤独的).
