I used to be a shy girl. But this term, I decided to do a brave thing. 75 our teacher asked for someone to be the physics monitor, I put up my hand and got the role. But it was not as 76 as I thought.
At the beginning, when I checked the homework list, I 77 that many students did not hand in their homework. I was a little worried. I felt the job for me at that time was to push these students. But I spoke 78 loudly that my face turned red. It made the students angry too. One girl asked: “Why are you shouting at me You’re making it seem like it is all my fault.(错误)” Then I 79 realized it was actually (事实上)my fault. I should talk to my classmates 80 a kind way and not get so angry.
After this, I changed how I spoke. “Excuse me. Could you please finish your homework ”
I said. To my 81 , many students understood me a lot better and finished their homework quickly.
I found the best way to communicate, so I can help solve problems. Now, I am getting along well with all my classmates. I also realized a good monitor 82 be responsible(负责任的) and patient. I really cherish this experience. It makes me feel like I am growing up like a little tree day by day.

With the improvement of the living standards, teenagers have more pocket money to spend. But at the same time there are more things they want to buy. So the debt(债务) problem among teenagers is becoming worse and worse. How to avoid this Here are some suggestions 75 you teenagers.
Firstly, you’d better watch your money. Don’t lend money to 76 else and don’t try to buy friends. If friends want your money, they aren’t real friends.
Secondly, you should buy only what you can afford. If the Adidas shoes 77 more than you have, then you’d better forget it. Don’t borrow money for them, 78 .
Thirdly, if you really want something, you can save money for it. Saving teaches discipline(自律). You should learn to save 79 you buy. When you receive money, you can save some of it, maybe 30%. An interesting fact is that, usually, after one has saved up 80 money, he may realize he doesn’t really want that at all.
Finally, you are supposed not to compare what you have with what your friends have. That expensive iPad of your friend may be borrowed or 81 for with borrowed money.
For parents, we have some advice, too. There is an old saying: “Give a person a 82 and he will eat for a day. Teach a person how to fish, and he will eat for the rest of his life.” This is also true when we teach our children about money. If you teach them good habits, they will always look after their money.
