Andexplain how you felt about it

It was about three years ago when I wasabout to go to my university in Shanghai, which is quite a bit far from myhometown. It was my first time to leave my parents and live alone in a totallyunfamiliar city. So my aunt who is very close with me gave me some money as agift before I left my home. She said when one got out alone, one should keepenough money with himself. I was quite surprised and was moved by her kindness.At first, I rejected to keep the money since she was not very rich. But sheinsisted and even hid the money in my baggage. When I arrived at my dormitoryand pend my baggage, I found the money and quite moved. I called herimmediately and thanked her. In the past, I thought giving money as a giftshown that someone didn’t care you. He/she didn’t even want to spend some timeto pick a gift for you. But at that moment, I thought maybe money was the mostpractical gift. And money also could deliver their kindness.

Part 3

1.   ln China, do you think parents would givepocket money to their children?

I think so. Because children may want tobuy something they want and their parents are too busy to buy for them.  Besides, when children have pocket money,they will know the importance of money and could learn how to manage theirmoney reasonably.

2.   Do you think children's attitudes towardsmoney is important?

Of course. Children’s attitudes towardsmoney will influence their value and mindset. If they attach much importance onmoney, they will do everything to earn money, including committing crimes. Soparents or teachers must show children how to treat money in a proper way.

3.   Do you think children understand themeaning of money?

Yes. Actually, children know what money isand know what it can do. Nowadays, many parents will give pocket money to theirchildren. So children will use money to buy things at early age. They know thatthey can’t get things if they don’t have money.

4.   When will the children can be given money?Why?

Maybe when they do a good job no matter inschool or when they do some good deeds like helping others. Because when theyget a reward when they do a good job, they will think they are encouraged to dothat and are willing to do it next time.

5.   What do you think about "Loveexpressed through money is evil"?

Well, love can’t be valued by money and wealso can’t express ore love by money. For example, in a rich family, a childcan get enough money but his parents are very busy and have no time toaccompany him. I don’t think this child can fee his parents’ love. Maybe thischild can’t grow up healthily both physically and mentally due to the lack ofparents’ care

6.   What do young people usually buy as a gift?Why?

It depends on what the receiver likes.Generally, young people will buy concert tickets to friends because most youngpeople have their favorite stars and want to go to their idol’s live concert.For the old, young people may buy some health products since the old reallyhope a healthy body.

7.   Do people like to pay cash or pay by cardin your country?

In fact, people always use alipay,sometimes wechatpay, because it’s extremely convenient. When we go out weseldom carry a wallet but a mobile phone. In addition, there are lots ofdiscount when using alipay or wechatpay.

8.   What’s the advantages and disadvantages ofcredit card?

Obviously, we can lend money when we areshort of money, especially when we have emergencies. However, when we use creditcard, sometimes we don’t realize how much money we spend and in the next monthwhen we have to pay off, we will feel surprised and can’t believe that I myselfspend so much money last month. Some people will get broke due to credit card.
