My parents give me an allowance every week．An allowance is the money I earn（赚的）when I do chores or jobs around the house．There are a loft of things I want to buy with my allowance，but I have to earn it first!There are many ways to earn money．I do chores，make my bed and empty the dishwasher．I also help my parents whenever they ask．
My parents let me choose how to spend my allowance，but they say I shouldn't use it up at once．That's why they taught me about budgets（预算）．A budget helps people buy things now and also save for things in the future．My mom says there are three ways to use my allowance．I can spend it．save it．or give it away．I want to do all three，so my mom and I make three jars．One is a"spend"jar，one is a"save"jar，and one is a"give"jar．
Spend Jar
The spend jar is my favorite!I put most of my allowance here．At the end of the month，I count up all my spending money．I use it to buy things with my friends．
Save Jar
Sometimes，there are things I want，but I don't have enough money．That's what the save jar is for．I put some of my allowance in it．It builds up more and more each week．After a while．I have enough money to buy what I want．
Give Jar
The last jar is very special．It's the give jar．I donate （捐赠） the money to charity （慈善） or another good cause My dad says that donating money helps other people and makes our world a better place．
I like putting my allowance into my three jars．It's fun to see it build up over time!Do you earn an allowance？

Dear mom,
I’m writing to you from America. You don’t know how happy I am. I made many new friends here. They are very helpful. Last week I got a fever and had to stay in bed for three days. They helped me a lot with my lessons. Cathy is one of my good friends at school. She has a round face with a pair of glasses. She is two months older than I am, but a little shorter . She works hard and is good at all her lessons. She often helps me with my English. We like talking to each other at lunchtime. After school, we always go home together because we live in the same street.
Sometimes we take a dancing lesson for half an hour before we go home. She dances better than any other student. She wants to be a dancer when she grows up. At the weekends, Cathy usually goes swimming. I sometimes go swimming with her. I think it’s a good way to keep healthy. We always have a good time.
Write soon.
Love

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However，it is not true. Communication（交流）is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents，don't worry about it. Here is some advice about getting on well with parents.
Don't argue（争辩）with your parents. Don't talk with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't think over your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go some place to cool off and think about what you want to say to your parents.
Try to reach an agreement. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Sometimes your parents might refuse to accept your reasons for something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values （价值观）. The values of your parents are probably different from yours. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try! Is communication a problem only for parents and school children?
How many pieces of advice does the writer give you?
What should you do when your parents refuse to accept your reasons?
Why do you need to talk about your values with your parents?
