Every April 26, bankers across the USAteach over 1.5 million primary and secondary school students how to handle money.
In the USA, children, especially teenagers, are often big spenders. In 2013, forexample, American teenagers spent $175 billion. This is average of $104per week per teenager.

Now I want to tell you something what happened last weekend. On my way to the cinema, I noticed a foreigner talk to a policemen who seemed able to understand what the foreigner was saying. They two looked very worriedly. So I went up to see what I could do help them. I told the policeman the foreigner had lost his wallet or camera. Finally the foreigner got back his belonging with the help of the policeman. All of them thanked me. By the time I arrived at the cinema, the film have been over.

Relax during a job interview
Fewpeople actually like job interviewing. It's nervewracking trying to showyour“best” self to a perfect stranger. That's not easy, but thereare some ways to pull yourself together and feel more confident.
Prepare solid talking points. It's always best to overprepare for possible questions by not only researchingthe company and the person interviewing you, but also by preparing answers andpracticing those responses. Review the skills and experiences requested in thejob announcement and have two to three examples of how you have demonstratedeach one.
Remember：It's a twoway street.This is a conversation, not an interrogation(審問).
Remembering that this is a back and forthdiscussion，whereyou can—and should—ask questions as well as answer them, can help you feel morecomfortable.
Just breathe. Your body will relax a lot. You wantto avoid upper chest breathing, as it tends to just move your stress upward toyour face.
Ifyou go into an interview picking apart your outfit or imperfect responses,you're only hurting your chances of coming off as calm and collected. Turn offyour negative selftalk and then create a different selftalk message，like “I am here to share the best ofmy ability and that is all I can really do.”
Work it out. Putting in some gym time on themorning of your interview can help you get rid of any nervous tension. Exercisehelps calm your nervous system and tends to reduce the intensity of physicalmanifestations(表現(xiàn)形式)of stress such as restlessness.
A．Stop the negative thoughts.
B．Put your idea into practice.
C．When faced with an interviewer, youmay be nervous.
D．Before you walk into your interview，take a few deep breaths.
E．You're trying to prove you're the onefor the job and that you can handle stressful situations.
F．Don't forget that you're not the onlyone being interviewed—you're also interviewing the organization.
G．This will strengthen your answers andallow you to show how your experience is relevant to the job or organizationfor which you're interviewing.

As students enter the school building, they are easy targets of peer pressure. Students may become involved in activities that are dangerous to themselves, or others, due to peer pressure.
Drugs, including alcohol, are a major part of peer pressure. A research institute reports that about 30 percent of the teenagers are offered drugs in middle and high schools. The majority of teens consume their first drink of alcohol at the age of 13. The National Household Survey on drug use and health from the Department of Health and Human Services informs the public that 74. 3 percent of the high school students have tried alcohol.A large percentage of those who drink alcohol are also smokers. The American Lung Association points out that about 3. 1 million adolescents are smokers in the US. Almost 25 percent of teens between 17 and 18 are regular smokers.
Peer pressure can affect the behavior, clothing choice, music and movie choice and even the personality. Academics can also be affected by peer influence.People can be affected by these factors and remain completely unaware of the changes in their lifestyle, but some people do realize when they are being pressured.Just by simply spending time with others, a person can become more like them.
“If you are being pressured to do things that you know are wrong,” Sheats, a senior, said,“you should get out of that situation and tell a trusted adult.” For people to avoid becoming a victim of peer pressure, they must make their own decisions.Judgment of a situation based on one's morals is very important in peer pressure situations.“People,” Sheats added,“should follow their own hearts.”
