EARNING AND SPENDING

There will always be people who have money to burn                                [money they spend, save, very rich, save money for difficult times, money people earn, poor] as well as those who can't make ends meet                                [money they spend, save, very rich, save money for difficult times, money people earn, poor]. The more money people have, the more they tend to spend - in some cases people's expenditure                                [money they spend, save, very rich, save money for difficult times, money people earn, poor] is greater than their earnings                                [money they spend, save, very rich, save money for difficult times, money people earn, poor]. Particularly, if they are addicted to spending money, so they are shopaholics. However, if more money is earned than spent, you may put aside                                [money they spend, save, very rich, save money for difficult times, money people earn, poor] money regularly and save it for a rainy day                                [money they spend, save, very rich, save money for difficult times, money people earn, poor]. This means you are a good money manager.

Dear Jenifer,

Thank you for your letter. No, it doesn't sound silly at all. It sounds awful, and I have great sympathy for you. What you describe is called             [shopaholism, shopaholic]. It's a recognised           [addict, addiction], and like other addictions, it's hard to break. Hard, but not            [impossible, possible]. It boils down to your having two choices. I invite you to take time to sit down with pen and paper and make two lists. One of them is headed “Continuing as a shopaholic” and the other is “Life where I shop only for basic            [physically, physical] needs”. For each of your lists you have 3 columns, headed “Good points”, “Bad points” and “Consequences”. Really think about them,           [included, including] the scary “Consequences” ones, because most shopaholics are           [impulsive, impulse] and haven’t stopped to think about the         [real, reality] of the outcome. The only clue I offer is that the consequences of continuing as a shopaholic include spiraling debt, lying to friends and family, possible              [relation, relationship] breakdown, and what your kids might feel about it. Do you want them growing up as shopaholics too?

So why do you do it?             [shopaholism, shopaholic] is a response to either an             [fulfilled, unfulfilled] life, low self-esteem or a perception of the world as an         [happy, unhappy] place.

PLANNING THE PERFECT PARTY

There's no better way to have fun than by throwing a party. Everyone loves to spend time with their friends and have fun in a relaxed atmosphere. However, as anyone who has ever thrown a party will know, a lot of hard work goes into hosting a party. The following tips will help you to plan the perfect party.

• Parties need to be planned carefully. Make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to prepare for your party. Make a list of everything you need to do and be organised, because things can get very busy as the day of your party gets closer.

• If you are serving food at your party, choose foods which go together. You could pick atheme for your party and make food which fits that theme, for example, Mexican or Chinese. Make sure you don’t serve foods which are going to the one who will have to clean it up the next day!

• Written invitations are a great idea, especially if you can make them fun or different. Don't forget to put important information like the time date and address on your invitations. Tell your guests when the party starts and when it will end. Also, let them know if they should wear a certain type of clothes (e.g. fancy dress).

• You can use decorations, lighting and music to create the perfect party atmosphere. Choose your favourite music and play it in the background as your guests arrive. It is a good idea to remove your television if it is in the party area. You can also replace some of your light bulbs with coloured lamps.

Just follow these simple steps have a fantastic party that everyone will

enjoy! Good luck!

Afel was only a very small boy when he (1)          [last, previous, next, first]saw snow. But it wasn’t (2)          [factual, original, real, valid]snow that he saw. No, there was no real snow (3)       [where, when, how, what]he lived. He saw the snow in a picture book. The book had lots of pictures of children playing in big white fields. He (4)           [replied, requested, asked, answered]his mother, “What are those white fields?” and his mother laughed and said, “That’s snow!” She tried to explain to him what snow was, but Afel didn’t really understand. (5)           [However, Usually, Sometimes, So]there was rain where he lived, but not very much, so it was very difficult for him to understand what this cold, ice rain that his mother described was.

He dreamed about snow all the time, trying to imagine how it really was.

Then, when Afel was twelve years old, the following thing happened. One day he was watching TV at his uncle’s house, and a programme came on, and there were people flying across the snow. They looked (6)      [like, as, such, so]strange animals, or fantastic birds. They had hats which covered all their heads and big goggles over their eyes. And on their (7)       [hands, arms, heads, feet], they had things that look like strange shoes.

“What are those?” he asked his uncle excitedly. “Skis”, replied his uncle, “and those people are cold (8)          [skters, skiers, swimmers, racers]”. At that moment, Afel decided. He wanted to be a skier.

He asked his uncle what the programme was.

“The Winter Olympics”, said his uncle. “It’s like the normal Olympics, but for sports where you need snow - skiing, ice skating, bobsleigh, those sorts of things. They have it every four years”.

Afel (9)         [found, knew, learned, looked]out that the next Winter Olympics were in Vancouver in Canada, in 2010.

“Perfect”, he thought. “Enough time for me to become a brilliant skier. Then I’ll go to the Winter Olympics, and win the gold medal for skiing”. “But there’s no snow here!” people told him. “Where are you going to ski?”

Afel didn’t care. He (10)           [acted, performed, did, made]himself a pair of skis from two pieces of wood. He tied them to his feet and practised skiing holding two sticks in his hands. At first he couldn’t move, but he practised, and practised, and practiced until he could move quite quickly across the sand or the earth where he lived. He tried to fly down the hills like the people on TV, but he couldn’t. he could only to move slowly.

“Never (11)      [mind, be, see, say]”, he thought. “It’s just a start …”.

So every night, out in the middle of the desert, Afel now practises skiing down sand dunes. He dreams that the yellow sand and brown earth of the desert is the white, white snow of the mountains he saw (12)     [out, of, in, on]the television. He dreams that the yellow sand and brown earth are as gold as the medal he will bring home with him, when he is the world champion.
