Last year,my mum and I joined my dad in California during the summer vacation.We visited two famous amusement parks of Los Angeles—Universal Studio and San Diego Sea World.
In Universal Studio,I saw how rain,car crash,air crash effects are created for movies.I also saw the sets where Spider Man movies are made.I saw Mr Bean’s car.We also experienced a live show of Fear Factor.There we enjoyed a ride about the Jurassic Park.
Then we visited the San Diego Sea World where we saw a lot of dolphin shows and one show by “Shamu”—the famous shark.We also had a 4D movie experience in the “Haunted House”.We saw an effect where a snake seemed to strike out of the screen and come into the audience.We enjoyed a simulated helicopter(模拟直升机) ride to the Antarctic Glaciers(南极冰川).
Then my vacation time was over and we had to fly back so that I could go to school.I couldn’t help myself and started to cry.I remembered all the good time I had with my parents.I asked my mother to extend our stay,but she insisted(坚持) that going back to school was more important.This is how my story of my happiest vacation ended.

“Red envelop” fever has swept the country recently.Cash(支付金额) can be sent through electronic payments.Children can get more money than before.But everyone needs to understand something about money:where it comes from,how to save it and how to spend it wisely.Too many parents don’t take time to teach their children about money,and as a result,many of those children don’t know how to deal with money when they grow up.
When should parents begin teaching their children about money?Experts agree that it’s never too early.The more children learn about money,the more wisely they will be able to deal with money as they grow older.To begin with,parents can teach kids how to count money.
Next,parents can teach kids how to save money.For example,a kid wants a new bicycle.Parents can teach them to save part of their pocket money for that bike,while still keeping some money for ice-cream and movies.In this way they will begin to understand the meaning of saving.
Also,it is never too early to teach children different ways to make money besides snatching(抢)red envelops.For example,they can wash cars,clean gardens,look after babies and so on.Sit down with children and talk with them about some ways they could to make money.You will be surprised and glad at the effort they will begin making.
Teach children about money when they are young and their future will be brighter.
