Dear Grace,
Thanks for your letter. I’m writing to tell you something about our next term.
Do you love volleyball? On September 7th, we have a volleyball game at four in the afternoon. It’s interesting for me. My teacher says we can see some great volleyball stars in the volleyball game. In October, we have a school trip. It’s relaxing for us. In November, we have an art festival and an English party. The art festival is on November 3rd. The English party is on November 18th. It’s in the classroom. Sally’s birthday is on December 11th. I want to buy a white model plane for her. Tim wants to buy a book. Jane wants to buy a birthday cake for her. She must be very happy.
It’s really a fun term, isn’t it?
Yours,
Bob

Wonder why the New Year money always disappears so quickly? Well, this may be because you don’t plan to spend it carefully. Plan a budget (预算) and you will find you can stop your money from disappearing.
A budget is a plan to control where your money goes. Careful budget can help you save for the things you want, but can’t pay for right now.
Sounds useful? Look at the following before you start your budget:
1. Every week there are things we have to pay for, like school lunches and buses. There are also things we would like to spend money on — just for fun! All of these are weekly expenses (开销).
2. Since we can’t have money for everything, we have to make choices. We need to ask if we really need something or just want it. Needs are what you must have in order to live, like food and water. Wants are things you would like to have or do, but that you could live without, such as CDs and cartoons.
3. List what you must spend on needs — and if there is money left over, what you will save for the things you really want. This is called a budget.
4. If you don’t have enough money for what you need and want, you may have to give up one for the other.
Any budget will change. Keep an eye on yours. Maybe you wanted a cartoon book but now you want an MP3 instead. Your needs may change into wants, or your wants may change into needs.

When we are trying to get to any personal purpose (目标), one of the biggest problems is that we always put them off till tomorrow, or next week. Unluckily, tomorrow never gets here. If you want to finish a purpose, you have to start on it today. So what can you do to find the time for your personal purposes?
One purpose at a time.
Often the problem is that we try to take on too many purposes. We have a list of things we want to achieve, reading a book, learning French and many other difficult things. Maybe we are interested in them, but because of that, we never start. Instead, we can start with choosing one purpose at a time, because it’s difficult to keep the attention (注意力) and energy on too many purposes at once.
Make sure you really want it.
It’s not enough to say, “It would be nice to learn French” or “It would be cool to do yoga every morning”. It has to be something you really want. Ask yourself why you want to get to this purpose, and how much you want it. That’s important to do early on, or you won’t make time for it.
Keep it easy.
It’s important not to make your personal purpose too difficult. You don’t want to have a huge list of things to do in order to achieve your purpose. Instead, pay attention to a smaller purpose that will lead you to your bigger purpose.
Stay focused (集中的).
One of the most difficult things to achieve purposes is keeping your attention on that purpose. It’s easy to become crazy about something else, and when we lose focus, we suddenly stop making time for the purpose. Instead, find ways to keep the attention.
