Emma was excited when she heard about a big sale at a store near her home. Everything was 20% off, and she wanted to go shopping with her mum, Mrs Carson. Mrs Carson asked Emma what she wanted to buy, but Emma wasn’t sure yet. She saw a pretty cotton dress, a nice blouse, and some cool shoes. However, her mum reminded her that she already had enough clothes. “You already have so many blouses, Emma. I don’t think you need any more,” Mrs Carson said. Disappointed, Emma thought for a moment and said, “They used to be very expensive, but now they’re cheap...” Mrs Carson smiled and explained, “It’s not just about the price, Emma. We should spend money wisely. Before buying something, we should consider our needs and wants.” Curious to learn more, Emma asked, “What do you mean by needs and wants, Mum?” Patiently, Mrs Carson explained, “Needs are things that we must have, like food, clothes, and a safe home. Wants, on the other hand, are things that we desire but can live without. It’s important to make smart choices with our money.” Emma started to realise how important it was to manage money wisely. By understanding the difference between needs and wants, she knew that she could make better decisions about money. A What news made Emma excited? B What is the difference between needs and wants? C What did Emma learn from the conversation with her mum? The news that a big sale (with everything 20% off) at a store near her home made Emma excited. Needs: Things we must have (e.g., food, clothes, a safe home). Wants: Things we desire but can live without.

Write about an experience of unreasonable spending from you or someone you know. 6 The following questions may help you: A What is the unreasonable spending? B Why do you think this spending happened? C What did you learn from this experience? Example: My Unreasonable Spending Experience Last month, I had a lesson about unreasonable spending. I saw a pair of cool shoes on sale online. Even though I already had four pairs, I bought them right away. When they arrived, they were not comfortable and didn’t fit me well. I have worn them only once. I also kept buying snacks and takeout without a plan. I wasted a lot of money. Now I know I should think twice before buying things, make a shopping list, and plan how much I can spend. I won’t waste money on useless things anymore. 1. Emma was excited when she heard about a big sale at a store near her home. 当艾玛听说她家附近的一家商店大减价时，她很兴奋。 sale 名词，意为“特价销售；销售；销售量”，复数形式 sales 表示“销售；销售额”。 sale 的常见搭配：(1)have big sales/a big sale 大减价 (2)for sale 待售；供出售 Language points (3)on sale 出售；减价出售 (4)yard sale 庭院拍卖会 相关词汇：sell v. 售卖；出售 例句：The store is having a sale on clothes this weekend. 这家商店本周末服装大减价。 例句：The company’s sales increased by 20% this year. 这家公司今年销售额增长了 20%。 例句：He bought a TV on sale at the mall. 他在商场买了一台特价电视机。 例句：The house with a red door is for sale at $300,000. 那栋有红门的房子要以30万美元的价格出售。 2. However, her mum reminded her that she already had enough clothes.然而，她的妈妈提醒她，她已经有足够的衣服了。 长难句分析：该句为复合句，为主谓双宾结构，her mum 作主句主语，reminded 作谓语，her 作间接宾语；宾语从句that she already had enough clothes 作直接宾语，其中she 为从句主语，had 为实义动词have 的过去式，作谓语，enough clothes 为宾语。 3. Disappointed, Emma thought for a moment and said, “They used to be very expensive, but now they’re cheap...” 艾玛失望地想了一会儿，说：“它们以前很贵，但现在便宜了……” Disappointed 在句中作状语。 be disappointed in/with sb./sth. 表示“对某人/ 某物失望” 例句：My teacher will be disappointed in me if I fail in the exam. 如果我考试不及格,老师将为我感到失望。 used to 过去常常 例句：I used to play basketball every day after school. 我过去常常放学后每天都打篮球。 4. It’s not just about the price, Emma. 不仅仅是价格的问题，艾玛。 price 一词多义： (1) 作名词，意为“价格；价钱”，常与at 连用。表示价格的高低时，要用high 或low 修饰；若表示某物价格昂贵或便宜，则用：“sth. + be + expensive/cheap”或“the price of + sth. + be + high/low”。 常见搭配：① the price of... ……的价格，作主语时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。 ② at... prices/at a(n)... price 以……的价格 ③ What’s the price of...? ……的价格是多少？ (2)作名词，意为“物价”时多用复数prices。 (3)作动词，意为“给……定价”，price sth. (at sth.)。 注意：询问某物的价格时，常用What’s the price of...? 或How much... ? 例句：What’s the price of the sweater? = How much is the sweater? 这件毛衣的价钱是多少？ 例句：She sold the house at a high price. 她以高价卖了这所房子。 例句：The store prices all goods fairly. 这家商店给所有商品定价公平。 5. Curious to learn more, Emma asked, “What do you mean by needs and wants, Mum?” 艾玛好奇地问：“妈妈，你说的需要和欲望是什么意思？” curious adj. 好奇的；求知欲强的 派生词：curiously adv. 好奇地；奇怪地 curiosity n. 好奇心 be curious about sth. 对某事 / 某物感到好奇 be curious to do sth. 好奇地想要做某事 What do you mean by needs and wants? =What does “needs and wants” mean? = What is the meaning of “needs and wants”? 6. Wants, on the other hand, are things that we desire but can live without.另一方面，欲望是我们渴望的东西，但没有它也可以生活。 on the other hand另一方面 用于引出与前述相对或不同观点的陈述，常与on the one hand连用。 例句：The film lost money; reviews, on the other hand, were by and large favourable. 这部电影赔了钱；但从另一方面来看，评论大体上是积极的。 7. Emma started to realise how important it was to manage money wisely.艾玛开始意识到明智地理财是多么重要。 manage v.明智地使用；管理；经营 manage to do sth. 设法做成某事（强调成功） manager n. 经理；管理者 management n. 管理；经营 manageable adj. 易处理的；可管理的 例句：Teenagers should learn to manage their pocket money. 青少年应学会明智地使用零花钱。 例句：Mr. Baker managed to find a place where he could park his car. 贝克先生设法找到了可以停车的地方。 例句：He has good management. 他有高明的经营手段。 例句：Her father is the manager of the company. 她爸爸是这家公司的经理。 辨析：manage to do 与try to do manage to do 强调“结果”，意为“设法做成某事”，意义相当于succeed in doing sth. try to do 强调“过程”，意为“努力去做某事”，结果不一定是“做到了”某事 8. By understanding the difference between needs and wants, she knew that she could make better decisions about money.通过理解需求和欲望之间的区别，她知道她可以在金钱方面做出更好的决定。 decision n.决定；抉择；果断 decide v. 决定 make a decision 作出决定 make a decision to do sth. =decide to do sth. 决定做某事 change one’s decision 改变决定 例句：It’s hard to make a decision between two choices. 在两个选择间作决定很难。 例句：The teacher supported my decision to study abroad. 老师支持我出国留学的决定。 一、用所给单词的适当形式填空 Practice 1．It’s important ________ (make) smart choices with our money. 2．By _____________ (understand) the difference, she could make better decisions. 3．Emma started to realise how important it was __________ (manage) money wisely. 4．Mrs Carson explained that we should spend money ________ (wise). 5．Emma was ________ (excite) when she heard about the big sale. to make understanding to manage wisely excited 二、完成句子 1．通过学习生活经验，我们能够做出更好的决定。 By learning life lessons, we can ________________________. 2．对青少年来说，学会合理地理财很重要。 It’s important for teenagers to learn to ________________ well. 3．每个人都可以在日常生活中做出选择。 Everyone can ________________ in daily life. 4．在买东西之前，你应该为自己多加考虑。 You should ________ more ________ yourself before buying things. 5．我很高兴听说了这场大促销。 I was very happy to ________ ________ the big sale. make     better     decisions manage money make choices think for hear about Finish and polish your passage and hand it in. 2.
