Q: 3) What’s your consumption habit in daily life?
Reference
I always try to keep balance between spending and saving by making a budget and only buying things I need. I also use credit cards or Huabei when necessary but always remember to pay back in time. In addition, I get extra income by depositing in the bank or Yu’ebao, which can accrue interests.
Task 1: Please fill in the blanks to see how people pass down the value of frugality.
Chen Xiaoyan, a civil servant who works at a culture department in China’s Xiong’an New Area, __in_i_ti_a_te_d__ a qipao dancing team with her friends in a bid to _i_n_h_e_ri_t_ traditional culture. Conversations after the rehearsals are usually about families and friends. But sometimes the sisters get a little serious and talk about how to control their _b_u_d_g_e_t_ for the volunteer group. “When we get together, we should not be spending too much money, and this is also part of our tradition.” Chen said. This is a typical scene in many park conversations in China. _F__ru_g_a_l_it_y_ is always their top __p_ri_o_r_it_y_.

Unit 5 Section A Spend or save — The student's dilemma花钱还是存钱,学生进退维谷1 Do you feel as confused and manipulated as I do with this question, "ShouldI spend or should I save?" I think that the messages we get from our environment seem to defy common sense and contradict each other. The government tells us to spend or we'll never get out of the recession. At the same time, they tell us that unless we save more, our country is in grave danger. Banks offer higher interest rates so we increase savings. Then the same banks send us credit card offers so we can spend more.1 你是不是跟我一样对“我应该花钱还是存钱”这个问题感到困惑,且有被操纵的感觉?我觉得我们从生活的环境里所获得的信息似乎是有违常识、互相矛盾的。
政府告诉我们要花钱,否则我们将永远走不出衰退;与此同时,他们又告诉我们,除非我们节省更多的钱,否则我们的国家会处于严重危险之中。
银行提供较高的利率以增加储蓄。
然后,同样是这些银行又提供信用卡让我们可以花更多的钱。
2 Here's another familiar example: If we don't pay our credit card bill on time, we get demanding, nasty emails from the credit card company saying something like: "Your failure to pay is unacceptable. Pay immediately or you'll be in trouble!" Then, as soon as we pay, we get a follow-up email in a charming tone telling us how valuable a customer we are and encouraging us to resume spending.Which depiction is correct: a failing consumer in trouble or a valued customer? The gap between these two messages is enormous.2 这里还有一个大家熟悉的例子:如果我们不按时支付信用卡账单,我们会收到从信用卡公司发来的类似这样的令人讨厌的催缴账单的电子邮件:不还款是不可接受的。

Pay immediately or you'lbe in trouble!" Then, as soon as we pay, we get a fol ow-up email in a charming tone tel ing us how valuable a customer we are and encouraging usto resume spending. Which depiction is correct: a failing consumer in troubleor a valued customer? The gap between these two messages is enormous.3 The paradox is that every day we get two sets of messages at odds witheach other. One is the "permissive" perspective, "Buy, spend, get it now. Youneed this!" The other we could cal an "upright" message, which urges us,"Work hard and save. Suspend your desires. Avoid luxuries. Control your appetite for more than you truly need." This message comes to us frommany sources: from school, from parents, even from political figures referringto "traditional values". Hard work, family loyalty, and the capacity topostponedesires are core American values that have made our country great. *4B ut the opposite message, advertising's permissive message, is inescapable. Though sometimes disguised, the messages are everywhere welook: on TV, in movies on printed media and road signs, in stores, and onbuses, trains and subways.Advertisements invade our daily lives. We areconstantly surrounded by the message to spend, spend, spend. Someonerecently said, "The only time you can escape advertising is when you're in yourbed asleep!"5 It's been calculated that by the age of 18, the average American wil haveseen 600,000 ads; by the age of 40, the total is almost one mil ion. Eachadvertisement is doing its utmost to influence our diverse buying decisions,from the breakfast cereal we eat to which cruise line we wil use for ourvacation. There is no shortage of ideas and things to buy! Now, of course, wedon't remember exactly what the products were, but the essential messageis cemented into our consciousness, "It's good to satisfy your desires. Youshould have what you want. You deserve the best. So, you should buy it —now!" A famous advertisement said it perfectly, "I love me. I'm a good friend tomyself. I do what makes me feel good. I derive pleasure from nice things andfeel nourished by them. I used to put things off. Not anymore. Today I'l buynew ski equipment, look at new compact cars, and buy that camera I'vealways wanted. I live my dreams today, not tomorrow."6What happens as we take in these contradictorybut explicit messages? What are the psychological and social consequencesof this campaign to control our spending habits? On one hand, we want morethings because we want to satisfy our material appetite. Most of us derivepleasure from treating ourselves. On the other hand, a little voice insideus echoes those upright messages: "Watch out, take stock of your life, don't letyour attention get scattered. Postpone your desires. Don't fal into debt. Wait! Retain control over your own life. It wil make you stronger."7 Anyway, many of the skil s you need as a successful student can be appliedto your finances. Consider your financial wel -beings a key ingredient of youruniversity education as money worries are extremely stressful and distracting. They can make you feel terrible and hinder your ability to focus onyour prime objective: successful y completing your education.*8How can you be a smart and educated consumer? Many schools,community organizations, and even some banks offer financial literacyclasses. Consider consulting with your school's financial aid office or seek input from your parents or other respected adults in setting up a budget. An additional option is finding a partner to help you stay on track andfind pleasure in the administration of your own financial affairs. Most importantly, if you find yourself getting into financial trouble, don't letyour ego get in your way; urgently get help with tackling your problem before itspins out of control and lands you in legal troubles.9 Al this wil help you become an educated consumer and saver. As you learnto balance spending and saving, you wil become the captain of your own ship,steering your life in a successful and productive direction through the choppy waters.Language Points:1 Do you feel as confused and manipulated as I do with this question, “Should Ispend or should I save?” (Para. 1)Meaning: When asking yourself whether you should spend or save, do you feel puzzledand control ed as I do?Meaning beyond words: According to the conventional concept, we are the master orthe boss of the money we have earned.

Spend or save – The student’s dilemma1 Do you feel as confused and manipulated as I do with this question, “Should I spend or should I save?” I think that the messages we get from our environment seem to defy common sense and contradict each other. The government tells us to spend or we’ll never get out of the recession. At the same time, they tell us that unless we save more, our country is in grave danger.

Then the same banks send us credit card offers so we can spend more.2 Here’s another familiar example: If we don’t pay our credit card bill on time, we get demanding, nasty emails from the credit card company saying something like: “Your failure to pay is unacceptable. Pay immediately or you’ll be in trouble!” Then, as soon as we pay, we get a follow-up email in a charming tone telling us how valuable a customer we are and encouraging us to resume spending. Which depiction is correct: a failing consumer in trouble or a valued customer? The gap between these two messages is enormous.3 The paradox is that every day we get two sets of messages at odds with each other. One is the “permissive” perspective, “Buy, spend, get it now. You need this!” The other we could call an “upright” message, which urges us, “Work hard and save. Suspend your desires. Avoid luxuries. Control your appetite for more than you truly need.” This message comes to us from many sources: from school, from parents, even from political figures referring to “traditional values”. Hard work, family loyalty, and the capacity to postpone desires are core American values that have made our country great.4 But the opposite message, advertising’s permissive message, is inescapable. Though sometimes disguised, the messages are everywhere we look: on TV, in movies, on printed media and road signs, in stores, and on busses, trains and subways. Advertisements invade our daily lives. We are constantly surrounded by the message to spend, spend, spend. Someone recently said, “The only time you can escape advertising is when you’re in your bed asleep!”5 It’s been calculated that by the age of 18, the average American will have seen 600,000 ads; by the age of 40, the total is almost one million. Each advertisement is doing its utmost to influence our diverse buying decisions, from the breakfast cereal we eat to which cruise line we will use for our vacation. There is no shortage of ideas and things to buy! Now, of course, we don’t remember exactly what the products were, but the essential message is cemented into our consciousness, “It’s good to satisfy your desires. You should have what you want. You deserve the best. So, you should buy it – now!” A famous advertisement said it perfectly, “I love me. I’m a good friend to myself. I do what makes me feel good. I derive pleasure from nice things and feelnourished by them. I used to put things off. Not anymore. Today I’ll buy new ski equipment, look at new compact cars, and buy that camera I’ve always wanted. I live my dreams today, not tomorrow.”6 What happens as we take in these contradictory but explicit messages? What are the psychological and social consequences of this campaign to control our spending habits? On one hand, we want more things because we want to satisfy our material appetite. Most of us derive pleasure from treating ourselves. On the other hand, a little voice inside us echoes those upright messages: “Watch out, take stock of your life, don’t let your attention get scattered. Postpone your desires. Don’t fall into debt. Wait! Retain control over your own life. It will make you stronger.”7 Anyway, many of the skills you need as a successful student can be applied to your finances. Consider your financial well-being as a key ingredient of your university education as money worries are extremely stressful and distracting. They can make you feel terrible and hinder your ability to focus on your prime objective: successfully completing your education.8 How can you be a smart and educated consumer? Many schools, community organizations, and even some banks offer financial literacy classes. Consider consulting with your school’s financial aid office or seek input from your parents or other respected adults in setting up a budget. An additional option is finding a partner to help you stay on track and find pleasure in the administration of your own financial affairs. Most importantly, if you find yourself getting into financial trouble, don’t let your ego get in your way; urgently get help with tackling your problem before it spins out of control and lands you in legal troubles.9 All this will help you become an educated consumer and saver. As you learn to balance spending and saving, you will become the captain of your own ship, steering your life in a successful and productive direction through the choppy waters.。

Unit 5 Section A Spend or save — The student's dilemma花钱还是存钱,学生进退维谷1 Do you feel as confused and manipulated as I do with this question, "ShouldI spend or should I save?" I think that the messages we get from our environment seem to defy common sense and contradict each other. The government tells us to spend or we'll never get out of the recession. At the same time, they tell us that unless we save more, our country is in grave danger. Banks offer higher interest rates so we increase savings. Then the same banks send us credit card offers so we can spend more.1 你是不是跟我一样对“我应该花钱还是存钱”这个问题感到困惑,且有被操纵的感觉?我觉得我们从生活的环境里所获得的信息似乎是有违常识、互相矛盾的。
政府告诉我们要花钱,否则我们将永远走不出衰退;与此同时,他们又告诉我们,除非我们节省更多的钱,否则我们的国家会处于严重危险之中。
银行提供较高的利率以增加储蓄。
然后,同样是这些银行又提供信用卡让我们可以花更多的钱。
2 Here's another familiar example: If we don't pay our credit card bill on time, we get demanding, nasty emails from the credit card company saying something like: "Your failure to pay is unacceptable. Pay immediately or you'll be in trouble!" Then, as soon as we pay, we get a follow-up email in a charming tone telling us how valuable a customer we are and encouraging us to resume spending.Which depiction is correct: a failing consumer in trouble or a valued customer? The gap between these two messages is enormous.2 这里还有一个大家熟悉的例子:如果我们不按时支付信用卡账单,我们会收到从信用卡公司发来的类似这样的令人讨厌的催缴账单的电子邮件:不还款是不可接受的。
