I never thought about saving until I wanted to buy a bicycle but didn’t have enough money. My mom suggested I make a simple budget. I divided my money into three parts: for daily needs, for saving, and for small treats. I also started to write down everything I bought. To save more, I brought lunch from home instead of eating out, and I reused old notebooks. After a few months, I had saved enough for the bicycle! Now I realize that smart spending isn’t about giving up fun, but about planning ahead. Every small saving adds up to a big goal. If I can do it, so can you! 【写作指导】 总体框架： 1　 题材：记叙文，分享个人理财经历与感悟。 2　 时态：一般过去时叙述经历，一般现在时描述现状与感悟。 3　 要点：清晰呈现“过去无计划→触发事件→制定计划→采取行动→实现目标→总结感悟”这一线索。 写作步骤： 1　 开篇说明过去的消费习惯； 2　 描述促使你改变的契机； 3　 重点叙述你采取的具体理财方法； 4　 说明你取得的成果； 5　 总结从中学会的道理，并鼓励读者。 亮点词汇： 1　 pocket money 零花钱 2　 make a budget 制定预算 3　 small treats 小奖励 4　 plan ahead 提前计划 5　 adds up 积少成多 高分句型： 1　 I never thought about saving until I wanted to buy... 2　 I divided my money into three parts... 3　 Every small saving adds up to a big goal. 题型通关 练 1．（2025·内蒙古自治区·中考模拟）假如你是李华，最近你的笔友Tony发来邮件求助。请你根据下面邮件的内容给他写一封回信。 From: Tony To: Li Hua Subject: Give me a hand!

Learning to manage it wisely is very important to students. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 How I Manage My Pocket Money I usually get some pocket money from my parents. Learning to manage it wisely is very important to students. Firstly, I always save 30% of my pocket money in a piggy bank. Saving helps me develop good financial habits and prepares me for unexpected needs. For example, last month I used my savings to buy a gift for my grandma’s birthday. Secondly, I spend 50% on necessary things like notebooks, pens and English magazines. These study tools improve my learning efficiency and broaden my knowledge. Nowadays, some students use pocket money to buy expensive sneakers or clothes. Personally, I won’t follow this trend. My pocket money is limited, and I’d rather spend it on meaningful things. For instance, I sometimes donate part of my savings to charity. Besides, expensive items can’t guarantee happiness. Simple clothes work just fine if they’re clean and tidy. By managing money properly, I’ve learned to value what I have and make wise decisions. 【来源】2025年江苏省镇江市丹徒区中考一模英语试题 【详解】[总体分析] ① 题材：本文为一篇材料作文； ② 时态：时态为“一般现在时”； ③ 提示：要点内容已给出，注意不要遗漏，适当增加细节，完善表述内容。 [写作步骤] 第一步，介绍明智管理零花钱的重要性； 第二步，介绍自己管理零花钱的方式及理由； 第三步，表明自己不会用零花钱购买昂贵的运动鞋或衣服，并说明理由。 [亮点词汇] ① broaden my knowledge拓宽我的知识面 ② for instance例如 [高分句型] ① Saving helps me develop good financial habits and prepares me for unexpected needs.（动名词作主语） ② Simple clothes work just fine if they’re clean and tidy.（if引导的条件状语从句） 3．（2024·福建南平·二模）压岁钱不仅仅是红包里的现金，更是长辈的一份关爱和祝福。我们该如何管理自己的钱，让压岁钱用得更有意义。请根据图表提示，以“How to Manage Lucky Money”为题，写一篇英语短文，词数80左右。 注意事项： 1. 文中须包含上图提示的所有信息，可适当发挥，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 2. 意思清楚，表达通顺，行为连贯，书写规范； 3. 请勿在文中使用真实的姓名、校名和地名。 How to Manage Lucky Money Lucky money isn’t just money in red envelopes.
