I walked through the Prudential Center wearing my old black sweatpants and a simple T-shirt. Then the bright lights from the window nearby 1 my eye and I came near to it. The window was 2 with the new collection and some classics. That was when I saw those beautiful but 3 Gucci T-shirts. The green and red stripes a key 4 of any Gucci product that everybody knows, shouted so loud that I could hear their cries 5 the glass. What's more, all of the pictures of those Gucci T-shirts I had seen 6 me that I needed them.
But then I collected my thoughts and asked myself, "Do I truly 7 the design of them, or do I want them just for 8 (to let my friends and even strangers notice that I have Gucci T-shirts)? After thinking 9, I figured out that those T-shirts aren't really 10 to me and that they wouldn't help me improve myself.
In my opinion, it is 11 to rely on luxuries (奢侈品) to make us feel special. 12, not only do these brands lead us to spend a lot of money, but they also fool us into thinking these items are going to make us get 13 by a particular group. A sense of true 14 should come from what you have added to the world and how you have 15 other people's lives in a good way.
Jenny and Lisa are close friends. They're studying in high school now.
One day about half a year ago, Jenny went to Lisa's house after she finished her homework. After entering Lisa's home, Jenny found that Lisa was chatting on her cellphone. Jenny was surprised as she didn't know Lisa had gone downtown to buy a cellphone.
After Lisa finished talking over the cellphone, Jenny asked her, "When did you get your cellphone?"
"I bought it yesterday. Look! How lovely it looks!" said Lisa.
Jenny looked at the cellphone. It was pink and looked really lovely. Jenny wished she also, could have such a cellphone.
That day, after Jenny came back home, she saw her father sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. Jenny approached him and said, "Dad, could I have a cellphone? Many of my classmates have their own cellphones now."
"Of course, you can have one," said Jenny's father. Hearing that, Jenny became very happy.
"Thank you, Dad," Jenny said happily. Then she asked, "When shall we go downtown to buy one?"
The father looked up hearing that. Then he said, "Oh, no, dear! I'm not going to buy you a cell-phone. If you really want one, you should make money to buy one yourself."
Jenny immediately became upset. But she knew her father was serious. She walked away and went to her own room.
The following day, Jenny went to school as usual. When Lisa saw her at school, she looked a bit upset. Lisa came to her and asked why she was wearing a long face that day. Jenny said, "I asked my dad to buy a cellphone for me, but he said I should work for one myself."
But Lisa didn't seem to be surprised at all, and she said, "Don't get surprised, because that's how I bought my own cellphone."
Hearing that, Jenny remembered Lisa once told her she was helping look after the Smiths' one-year-old son in the past summer. Now she knew why she worked part-time that summer. Lisa wanted a new cellphone and she worked to make money for it.
Paragraph 1:
That day after Jenny came back home from school, she went to her father. Paragraph 2:
Jenny started to work part-time.
Computer programmer David Jones earns ￡35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card(信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18.
The 16yearold works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David's firm releases(推出) two new games for the fast throwing computer market each month.
But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage(抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpoolbased company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six Olevels and working for a time in a computer shop. "I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs，" he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.
"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school，" he said. "But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway. " David added, "I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear. "
