     Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before
lunchtime, you'll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn't enough
for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store.
First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need
these things. In other words, don't buy anything just because it's cheaper than usual! "New and Improved!"
or "All Natural" on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (成分) on the
back. Third, compare prices; that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different
sizes of the same brand.
     Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in
supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don't spend much money
on packing or advenising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands.
In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not
famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren't
very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you
can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
     Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials,but they do this with one advantage:
knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information
and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions:Is the advertiser hiding something in small print
at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing
an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.

    Our local Community (社区) Youth Club is a very popular organization with young people in my town. I
have been a member for four years now and I've taken part in a lot of interesting projects. There include fun
activities such as holiday camps and discos.We have even made a video. 
    But it isn't all just enjoyment. We have also started doing social work to help people in our neighborhood.
We have organized activities for small children during the holidays. We have also formed a special support
group to help young people stop smoking. We are particularly proud of the most recent group we have created.
It organizes regular visits to the local home for the elderly. This idea came from a school visit to a old people's
home several days ago. My class spent an afternoon at the home and everyone found the visit very rewarding.
(有意义的)
    The old people at the home were excited. They were very talkative (健谈的) and they told us their personal
stories. During our visit, the home was full of the sound of laughing. We sang songs and played games with
the old people and bad tea together. But we realized that life wasn't always easy. Some of them were in poor
health and were very unhappy. They couldn't go outside and the children's visits brought some into their lives.
     Many young people like me have very little contact with elderly people.As a result, we have a lot of wrong
ideas about them. We have little or no idea of the kind of lives they lead in the homes. after this visit, my friends
and I decided we should do something to help improve the quality of their lives.
     Since the creation of our visiting group, over twenty volunteers have joined us. Up to now, we have
organized three evening parties and the most important. Club members regularly visit old people and everyone
finds the experience rich and rewarding.
