Para1: 提出建议
Para2-4: 产生分歧
Read para 2-4 and answer the question.
2 “But wouldn’t it be better to get more pocket money?” I replied.
3 Money became more serious. “You may not believe me, Kira. But ten times more money means ten times more problems. Because the more we get, the more we spend.” This didn’t make any sense. I’d surely go where I can have ten times more pocket money. That’s my dreamland.
4 But Money went on. “Look at your parents. They have over 100 times your pocket money. But still they can’t manage. The key is not how much money we have, but how we use it. First, we need to learn how to deal with our money. Then we will be able to have more. Now let’s get back where we started – the dream tin. Why don’t you simply make a start?”
What does the dog think is the key to managing money?
The Key is not how much money we have, but how to use it.
Para5-9:

What are Kira’s wishes?
What’s Money’s advice?
Para5-9:
5 “But when I have so many tins, I’ll mix them up,” I replied.
6 “You don’t need many. Just choose the most important wishes from the list,” explained Money.
7 I took another look at my list. Right. My first wish was to go on a trip abroad. The second was to buy a laptop. The third was to help my parents make a good budget. I could make dream tins for the first two and start saving. However, the third one seemed a bit difficult.
8 “Exactly,” Money read my thoughts. “Two dream tins are enough. Can you manage that?”
9 “Okay, I’ll give it a try… No, I mean, I’ll do it,” I promised.
Why does Money advise Kira to choose only the first two wishes?
What about the third one?
Because the first two are easy to save for with pocket money. But the third is about budgetting and it’s a bit difficult to achieve with a tin.
How does Kira’s attitude change from the beginning to the end?
doubtful(怀疑的)
determined(坚定的)
But wouldn’t it be better to get more pocket money?
But when I have so many tins, I’ll mix them up.
Okey, I’ll give it a try...
No, I mean, I’ll do it.
Post-reading
Think and share
If you have two “ dream tins” for your life now(not just for money), what would they be? Why?
My first dream tin would be for ___________________.
My second one would be for ____________________.
Because they are __________________________
a new basketball
a trip to Beijing
my two biggest wishes now and I can save my pocket money for them.
Post-reading
Will you try a dream tin for yourself ?
Why or why not?
Yes, I will. It sounds like a great way to save money for my dream, like a new bike or a gift for my family.
Maybe not. I think I’d rather save all my money in one place. It’s simpler for me.
Post-reading
“Ten times more money means ten times more problems.”
Do you agree? Why or why not?
Yes, I agree. Because more money might make us want to spend more and buy more things, which can lead to problems.
No, I don’t agree. Money itself is not a problem. If we know how to manage it well, more money can help us realize our dreams and help others.
