Teenagers learn by taking on more and more responsibility gradually. For many parents, this involves giving their children a limited amount of control over financial decisions. 

If you give your teen some pocket money regularly, take the time to teach them how to manage their money.   1  Consider providing extra income opportunities to help them learn that money is something you earn, not something you can get for nothing.

2   Discuss with them such issues as what the car can be used for, who is responsible for gas and maintenance, and who can actually drive the car. Show them how auto insurance works.

Get them involved with your day-to-day personal finance decisions, such as grocery shopping.   3  Show them how to comparison shop, pointing out how much money you save through comparing prices and using coupons. Let them sit with you while you pay the bills, so they can see how much all the monthly expenses add up to.

Encourage teens to save their money toward a major purchase. Besides, you can offer to reward them for their savings. 4 

5  You might even consider showing them your bills when you pay them. Too often, young adults who get their first credit card consider it as free money and find themselves in debt very quickly. Make them understand that the $50 they charge today costs a lot more if they don’t pay it off quickly.

E. This is a great way to teach them the relationship between building a savings account and the positive rewards that follow.

F. Without money, you can’t do anything.

G. Have them help you with the grocery list.

     .

Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (体形) don’t just happen.  . A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning the fact. ____1.____ When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously.

I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths.1. I found that the two paths were different from each other.

The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers weren’t very beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait!

What is a big dream ? (1)     Or , is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.

The Self

Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego(自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. (2)    Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.

(3)      

Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.

The World

If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. (4)     In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.

The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well.(5)    

E. It is the last and the most terrible barrier.

F. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong

G. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.
