1 . A sign is another kind of language. Here are some of them that you see on the roads．

Number one is a sign with the number thirty on it．When drivers see this sign, they must not go at more than thirty kilometres an hour. We see this sign when we are getting near a town．Number two is a sign that we’re near a crossing．We must drive carefully．Number three is a sign that there is a bend in the road．Again, we must drive slowly and carefully．It is not safe to go round a bend very fast．Number four is a sign that there is another road coming in from the right．There is a junction at this place. Number five is a sign that there is a hill and number six is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully．Number seven has the word “SCHOOL” on it. This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road. Perhaps there are children going to or leaving school．So drivers must look carefully and go slowly. Number eight is a sign with the letter “P” on it．The letter “P”means “Parking”. At some places, there’re the signs “No parking””or “No waiting”. If a driver leaves his car near one of these signs, a policeman may come and write down the number of his car．

2 . When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend on new clothes. Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale．

There are labels(标签) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes．The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water．A sweater label may tell you to wash in cold water．The label on a coat may say“dry clean only”, for washing may ruin this coat．If you do as the directions (说明)on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best for a long time．

Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry cleaned．You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed．

You can save money if you buy clothes that are well made. Well-made clothes last longer.

Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes．
