Passage A
From the time my kids were little I was determined to teach them the value of a dollar 1 If they didn’t do their choresthey didn’t get their allowance (零花钱)And if they didn’t have moneythey couldn’t buy anythingIt’s kind of like real life
There was only one problem — me 2 And thenwhen they occasionally would want to buy something that they couldn’t quite affordI would sometimes let them borrow from the next week’s allowanceBut then I’d forget how much they’d borrowed and we’d end up arguing about just how much I owed them 3
Obviously I’m not alone — both in wanting to teach my kids financial responsibility and in needing help 4 Gregg Murseta financial planner who has six kids of his owncreated MyjobChart — a website that helps you keep track of the jobs your kids are doing and determine how much they’re owed
5 My 22yearold daughter recently explained how her emergency fundbuilt up by saving financial gifts and working during schoolallowed her to live independently while continuing her education
So perhaps the thing to remember is that kids learn about handling money from their parentsSavespend responsibly and try to explain why and they might just end up getting the message
AIn shortI was an unsuccessful banker
BIt is helpful in teaching my kids about money
CI’d forget to check whether they’d completed their chores
DSo I set up the reward system and record their required chores
EThe kids can sign in and record when they’ve completed their work
FSo I gave them chores and an allowance when they were relatively young
GNow some parents working on technologies have come up with ways to solve this problem

So I went to Madagascar and joined a team of people working with a local supervisor 2
By going round villageswe taught basic ways to improve hygiene (卫生) and to avoid catching diseasesFor examplewe gave instruction about how to avoid catching malaria (疟疾) and distributed mosquito nets to some of the homesI think we did some goodI hope so anyway
3 I was suddenly in a completely different cultureteaching people who had such a different lifestyle from my ownIt made a big difference to the way I see the worldAnd I also made some very good friends out thereboth local people and the other volunteers 4
After I came backI got accepted straight away for a job at the university hospital 5 I’m sure I wouldn’t have managed to do that if I hadn’t worked in Madagascar and got this practical experience
AWe set up a program there
BI also got a lot from this program
CIt is one of the best hospitals in Auckland
DSo I’d recommend Volunteer Now to anyone
