We often think about why money disappeared so quickly. That may be because we didn’t have a good budget. A budget is a plan to control where your money goes. A good budget can help you use money wisely. For example, it can help you save money for the things that you want but can’t pay for now. Have a look at the budget of Simon’s family this month and you will get a clear idea about what a budget is. The income(收入) of Simon’s family a month is RMB6,000.

When you are in England, you must be very careful in the streets because the traffic goes on the left. Before you cross the street, you must look to the right first and then the left. If the traffic lights are red , the traffic must stop. Then the people on foot can cross the road. If the lights are green, the traffic can go and people on foot mustn’t cross. In the morning and in the evening when people go to or come back from work, the streets are very busy. The traffic is the most dangerous then.
When you go by bus in England, you have to be careful, too. You must always remember the traffic moves on the left. So you must be careful. Have a look first, or you’ll go the wrong way. In many English cities, there are big buses with two floors. You can sit on the second floor. From there you can see the city very well. That’ll be very interesting.
