Writing
Read the story and answer the questions.
Pre-writing
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His
father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time
he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of
the fence.
Pre-writing
The first day, the boy hammered so many nails into the fence that his father had to give him a whole new bag. Over the next few weeks, as he learnt to control his anger, he hammered fewer and fewer nails into the fence each day. He had learnt that it was easier to hold his temper than to hammer nails into the fence. Finally, the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper all day, not even once. He told his father, who said that now the boy should pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
Read the story and answer the questions.
Pre-writing
The days passed by and the boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son and led him to the fence. He said, “You’ve done well, son, but look at all the holes in the fence! That fence will never be the same. When you say something in anger, it leaves a hole in someone’s heart, just like your nails have left holes in the fence. It doesn’t matter how many times you say sorry. The hole is still there.”

Post-writing: Reference Text
According to the story, it is important to learn how to control your temper so that you do not do or say anything that will hurt other people. So how can we control our temper First, we can talk to someone we trust about how we feel. This is a good way of letting our anger out without hurting others. Second, we can go outdoors and play team sports with our friends, because physical exercise provides an effective way to calm down. Third, we can shift our attention to other things such as reading a book or watching a film. Focusing on something else helps us to forget our anger.
Post-writing: Reference Text
If we keep calm and stay optimistic, we can take control over our temper, which will benefit us throughout life.

Valuable Values
The spending power of young people varies from person to person. Each, however, is faced with the same question: what to do with their money Some handle this less well than others. Recent headlines have seen more and more teens maxing out their parents’ credit cards on games or other online activities.
宝贵的价值观
年轻人的消费能力因人而异。然而,每个人都面临一个同样的问题:该如何对待自己的钱?有些人并不那么擅长理财。最近的新闻头条中报道了越来越多的青少年刷爆了父母的信用卡,将钱肆意挥霍在网络游戏或其他网络活动中。
see 是拟人的用法。有此功能的动词还有find,witness等。
max out (钱)花光;(信用卡)刷爆

In contrast to these big spenders, there are also teens that prove age is no barrier to making good use of money. With the help of her grandmother, eight-year-old Khloe Thompson started making “Kare Bags” for the homeless people in her district. Inside the bags are necessities such as toothpaste, soap and socks, bought first with her pocket money and then through crowd funding. These items helped to make the lives of poor and homeless people a little bit easier. On receiving a Kare Bag, one woman said, “You make me feel like a human being.”
与这些花钱大手大脚的人相比,也有一些青少年证明了年龄并非善于利用金钱的障碍。年仅八岁的科洛·汤普森在祖母的帮助下,开始为她所在区的流浪者们制作“爱心包包”。包里面装着一些生活必需品,比如牙膏、肥皂和袜子等。最初购买这些物品用的都是她自己的零花钱,后来则是通过众筹购买。这些物品让贫穷和无家可归的人生活得稍微轻松了一些。在收到“爱心包包”时,一位女士说:“你让我觉得自己活得像个人。”

In contrast to these big spenders, there are also teens that prove (that) age is no barrier to making good use of money.
本句中有由that引导的定语从句,其中prove后是省略that的宾语从句。
【句子分析】
Inside the bags are necessities such as toothpaste, soap and socks, bought first with her pocket money and then through crowd funding.
本句中的“Inside the bags are necessities”是“主语 + 系动词 + 介词短语”结构的完全倒装;“bought first with her pocket money...”为过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰前面的名词。

However people intend to use their money, managing it seems to be unprecedentedly important to younger generations. A 2016 study said 17 states of the US require high school students to take courses in personal finances. For those who have no access to courses, help might be at hand thanks to Jerry Witkovsky and his method of using four jars to teach teenagers how to spend their money wisely.
无论人们打算怎样使用自己的钱,理财对于年轻一代来说似乎变得前所未有地重要。2016年的一项研究表明,美国有17个州要求高中生修个人理财的课程。对于那些无法接触理财课程的人来说,多亏杰里·维特科夫斯基和他的理财方法——他用四个罐子教青少年如何智慧理财。

When Jerry’s grandchildren turned 13, his present to each of them was three jars: one for Spending, one for Saving, and another for Giving—he has since added a fourth jar for Investing. It was from then on that his grandchildren started to be in control of what to do with the money they receive: spend, save, invest or give Jerry’s birthday present to his grandchildren is, however, much more than money and a few jars—he is giving them the opportunity to learn lifelong values.
当杰里的孙子孙女们年满13岁时,杰里给他们每个人的礼物都是三个罐子:一个用于消费,一个用于储蓄,另一个用于给予——之后他还增加了第四个罐子,用于投资。从那时起,他的孙子孙女们就开始自己掌控如何处理所得的钱:用于消费、储蓄、投资还是给予他人?然而,杰里送他们生日礼物的价值远远不止金钱和这几个罐子——他为他们提供了终身树立正确价值观的机会。

While the Spending jar is about the here and now, the Saving jar gives you a vision for the future. This could involve saving for university, but it could also mean saving for that special something you’ve seen in the stores—it’s up to you.
“消费”罐子关注的是眼前和当下,而“储蓄”罐子则为你提供了未来的愿景。它可以是为大学教育准备的存款,也可以是为自己在商店里看到的心仪之物而攒的钱——这都取决于你。
While the...中的“while”是并列连词,意为“……而,……然而”,表示对比关系,一般位于句中,也可位于句首(此句的用法);
you’ve seen in the stores为省略引导词that的定语从句,修饰先行词something。

The Investing jar not only represents a vision for the future, but gives the opportunity to build for the future. Although this could likewise involve putting aside money for your university education, it also means investing in yourself.

The Giving jar is all about kindness and helping. Whether you want to help out a friend, give money to an animal charity or to children in another country, it’s your money to give to whatever cause you believe in.
“给予”罐子其实就是指善良与帮助。无论你是想要接济朋友,为动物慈善机构捐款,或是救助另一个国家的孩子,这都是你的钱,你可以把它捐给任何你相信的事业。
Whether you want to help out a friend, give money to an animal charity or to children in another country, it’s your money to give to whatever cause you believe in.

The wider aim of the jars is to encourage teenagers to think more objectively about money and the things that it can do, so that they grow up understanding, if you like, the value of the valuable. In this way, they will be better equipped in their adult lives to make informed choices about how they use the money they have. Indeed, the small change inside their jars could mean a big change in how they manage their money.
介绍这四个罐子,更深远的目的在于鼓励青少年以一种更客观的方式思考金钱以及用钱能做的事情,这样他们在成长的过程中就会懂得有价值的东西的价值,如果你愿意这样理解的话。这样,他们在步入成人社会时才会更加得心应手,并且能够对如何管理金钱做出明智的选择。事实上,他们罐子中的细微变化可能意味着日后他们理财方式的巨大变化。
