3 . My family has had a great influence on me. When I was a kid, I learnt how to work from my family. My mum would never let me get away when there was something to be done. I learnt the importance of education. My parents would give me 50 dollars if I got As in school. They taught me how to use and save money. My mum taught me how to cook, how to clean, and basically everything I needed to know to live on my own. My dad taught me how to garden, how to do home improvement, how to treat women and girls with respect, and how to put other people's needs above my own. My brothers and sisters taught me how to make a decision in conflict（矛盾）. I'm 22 now, and I'll get married next year. I learn things from my parents' marriage by examples. For example, I've never seen my parents really fight. They had disagreements, but they were always in control and never let anger get the best of them. I think that's great, and I'm going to work towards that in my marriage.

I have a great family. I'm grateful that my parents chose to make it a great family.

You may find astonishing that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was common of acting families at this time, especially when the family income was often uncertain. Unfortunate, his father died, leave the family even worse off. But Charlie spent his childhood on looking after his sick mother and his brother. By her teens, Charlie had, through his humour, became one of the most popular child actors in England.

Dear Angela，

I am so happy to learn you are coming to study in our school and stay at my home.

My home is at No. 58, Mingzu Street. A five­minute walk from my home along Mingzu Street will lead me to a crossroads, when Mingzu Street meets Baohu Road. On the corner of the crossroads lie a shopping mall, where you can get everything you needed. Walking for about 300 meter along Baohu Road, you'll see our school on right.   There we will spend most of the daytime. In the end of Mingzu Street stands the new railway station, and that it's easy for you to reach. As a bus stop is just next to my home, Bus No. 23 will direct take you there.

I can't wait to seeing you in China.

Yours，

Li Hua

8 .

Eat your vegetables. Wash your hands. Always say "please" and "thank you". We are full of advice for our children.    1    As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.

Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:

Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1,000, invest it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she's 65, she would have $980,983!

Be careful of credit. Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly.     2     Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.

    3    Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150. Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside, say, $15 a week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.

Explain your values.     4    When your child demands that you buy something, explain way you really don't went to buy it. You might say, "I'd rather save that money for your education"     5    

A．Every time you spend or don't spend money, you have a chance to share your values.

B．Provide encouragement.

C．That means paying off your debt in time.

D．Teach patience.

E．Values and money interact.

F．But when it comes to money, we often have little to say.

G．Tell your children the importance of saving.
