It is time for students to sell such things as chocolate bars and greeting cards to raise money for their school, class or club.It is inevitable that they will knock on your door and you will easily hand over your cash for overpriced items that you really do not want.That is okay, though, because there are many reasons why children should be allowed to raise money for their schools and clubs.
Fundraising is a great way to help children learn social skills.It is not easy to go up to a complete stranger and ask him for his money.They have to nicely ask for help, show the interested buyer what they have to offer and explain how it will help them in school.If someone refuses to buy an item, that child has to take the failure in stride(不特别费力地), and that is a learning lesson as well.
Students can learn how to deal with money by fundraising.Of course, it might seem safer for us to take charge of our children’s earnings from their fundraising before it is turned into the school.However, by making them keep track of it, count it, and make sure everyone pays the right amount, they are learning an important lesson.Dealing with more Fundraising helps improve their schools.It is the children’s school.They have to learn there and grow there.Why not let them help in making it a better place?
Fundraising allows for more life experiences for the child.The raised money is used towards things like parties, trips, or for the music club to go to see a Broadway play.The children receive the rewards for their hard work at raising the money.Without fundraising, these field trips and special school memories would be missed.

It all starts with a tree.In fact, it starts with several trees.Since the first modern guitars were made in northern Spain over 150 years ago, crafts persons have known the wood to be used is important in making a guitar.
Every guitar is made of several different kinds of wood.Each piece is carefully chosen and then cut to fit the part of the guitar for which it is designed.The most important part of a guitar is the soundboard--the piece of wood with a large hole that lies under the strings(弦,线).Guitar makers are careful to make the soundboard just the right shape and thickness.Then they fix stripes(长条)of wood across the inside in a special pattern, which helps strengthen the soundboard and improves the tone of the guitar.
Wood for the curvy (弯曲的) sides of the guitar must be soaked (浸湿) in water and bent over a hot iron pipe.When all the pieces of the guitar are ready, they are carefully stuck together with glue.Special woodworking tools are used to shape and smooth the neck of the guitar.The craftsperson must make sure that the neck is perfectly centered over the soundboard.
Then it is time to use varnish(亮光漆).This brings out the beauty of the wood.Varnish also improves the sound of the guitar but too much varnish makes the guitar sound flat and dull.
Finally guitar strings are attached and tightened to make just the right musical tones.Then it’s time to play a song.(273 words)
