Activity 5 Read and analyze.
Last month, I had an unreasonable spending experience. I bought a limited-edition toy car that cost 200 yuan, even though I already had three similar cars at home. The toy was on sale and looked cool, and all my classmates were talking about it. I just wanted to keep up with them and didn’t stop to think if I really needed it. Now I know I should tell the difference between “needs” and “wants”. Before buying something, I’ll wait for a day or two and ask myself: “Do I really need this?” It helps me spend money more wisely.
