The
passage I read is called 'Managing your pocket money'. The writer
tells us the fact that most teenagers in Hong Kong nowadays have problems
managing their own finance; this is even true for university students.
The writer mentions in the beginning of the passage that young people
find it difficult to keep a good balance between their income and
expenditure. The reason is that young people cannot resist the temptation
to buy from stores. From what I've read, I've also learned that university
students are no better than teenagers in this matter. An example is
used in the passage to show us why a university student cannot keep
an eye on her finance. Janice is a university student who earns $5,000
a month. Her interests in computer and fashion make it impossible
for her to save. She ends up drawing money each month from her savings
account. In fact, most teenagers spend recklessly because they cannot
control themselves. As a result, many students end up owing the companies
of their credit cards thousands of dollars. Finally, according to
the writer, we should learn to stop our urge to buy extravagant things
as we students really don't need them. |
