【题目】As an expert on education, I finished a Junior Achievement course at a local middle school last week. I received some meaningful answers when I asked teens what they would want to tell their parents about money.

Max said,’Dear Mom, I need to give you some advice on money. I need more allowance (零用钱)!” I have to say many teenagers have the same idea as him. As an expert, I advise a little money for teens and more if they help with the housework. Now that your children are in middle school, it’s time to think about paying them to do something. My daughter missed a lot of school when she was a junior so I promised to buy her a notebook computer if she didn’t miss any school as a senior she got the computer finally. What worked for my other daughter was a clothing allowance for her joining in the housework. She would receive a set amount every two months; it taught her a valuable lesson: when the clothing money ran out, she couldn’t buy more clothes until she got enough money through doing the housework. “I need more allowance,” should be the start, not the end, of a dialogue.

Grace wanted to tell Mom, “Only buy what we need.” Spending wisely and saving money was a good theme from all the students. The idea of thinking carefully about spending is just what I taught them at class, but this is not the subject of this Junior Achievement course. It shows me that these teenagers look at their parents’ spending habits, but they don’t tell their parents their opinions about them. Therefore, Moms and Dads, pay attention and remember: your children watch everything you do when it comes to money do it right, point them in the right direction.

Nikola’s advice is valuable to all parents “Mom and Dad, I think I should be more involved in money and financial (金融) things so I know how to do everything without a struggle when I get older.” This child has got it right. Her answer shows the fact that parents are responsible (负责的) for the financial training of their children. It is one of our most important parental goals.

A. Stop giving them allowance at once.

B. Buy them something they are in need of.

A. To show he does better than others in teaching his children.

B. To tell readers how to encourage children to study hard.

C. To show paying children to do things really works.

【题目】European Day of Languages falls on 26 September. BBC News Online reported the attitudes across several European Union countries to languages.

Tamsin Smith, Rome, Italy

Italians place very high importance on learning languages, particularly English. Twenty years ago it was quite difficult to find an English speaker here but today it is quite easy. The strong influence of American and English culture helps young people to learn the English language. They often become familiar with it through “Harry Potter” books or Disney movies. English schools, where Italian children are taught all their lessons in English, are also becoming popular among rich Italians.

Lucien Libert, Paris, France

Languages are very important in France. A good knowledge of the English language is necessary for many Frenchmen to get a good job and the more languages you can learn, the better. English is the first language you learn in school and you start very young. Most people have at least eight years of learning English at school. Learning German or Spanish comes next and Latin is also taught in most schools. While French people learn languages, there is also a movement to protect the French language.

James Helm, Dublin, Ireland

The English language predominates(占优势) in Ireland, but the ancient Irish language is a lasting source of pride and interest, and it remains a living tongue that is used in several areas. School are required to teach ancient Irish, and most students learn it as part of the subjects. There is a continuing discussion about how to protect the language best. In recent years some primary schools have introduced foreign language classes for younger students, and the Irish government has tried to encourage schools to offer more languages such as French, Spanish, German and Italian.
