About money
Americans like to spend more than they have, so many of them are always in debt(欠债). But Chinese usually spend less than they have, so many of them always have money left in the bank.
The American kids themselves make their own money. Most Chinese kids always ask their parents for money.

Many American girls take part in sports, dancing and singing groups while many Chinese girls take part in study groups.
