Dear Betty,

       I’m thinking about what I’m going to do this summer. Maybe I’ll get a job. If I get a job, I’ll have enough money to buy some new things. Maybe I’ll buy some new clothes. I’d like to have some new dresses when I start school again in September. Or I can buy some books, or some music CDs. I really love jazz. I could buy some more CDs for my jazz collection. Or I can use the money to pay for tennis lessons. I play tennis well, but I’d like to learn to play it better. Or maybe I can use the money to pay for piano lessons. I’d like to learn to play it.

       If I don’t get a job this summer, I’ll visit my grandparents in Dalian. They live in a beautiful old house near the beach. That will be fun. My grandparents are always very nice to me. They’ll let me sleep late. I won’t have to get up until 10 o’clock every day. I’ll eat delicious food because my grandmother is an excellent cook. She always cooks my favorite food. I’ll also go to the beach with my grandparents. I like swimming in the sea. My grandparents like to go to museums but I don’t enjoy museums so much, so maybe I’ll stay at home to watch TV.

Chen Jie, 14, from Ningbo, Zhejiang is a lucky girl. She got 3600 yuan as gift money this Spring Festival. However, her grandmother took away all the money and put it in a bank account.
Many students experienced the same thing as Chen. They got their gift money, only to immediately have it taken away.
Xiong Shengyue, 14, from Nanjing, doesn't agree with the practice. "I think the money should be the children's, " she said. " We should take care of it by ourselves."
It is not that simple, said Chu Chaohui, a researcher at national Institute of Education Sciences.
Giving gift money is used to show social status (地位)and develop relationships, he told Beijing Legal Evening News. Gift money has lost its traditional meaning of good will and has "little to do with the children". What's more, children don't earn the money through work. So he thought that parents should still play a big part in dealing with the money.
But Yan Honglan, a mother of a 14-year-old boy in Beijing, has let her son be responsible (承担责任的)for his gift money since the age of 8. "I want to develop his financial(理财) skills, ' Yan said.
She also added:"No matter how you deal with the money, the most important thing is to make the children feel they're respected(尊重) and trusted.
Chen supported Yan's idea. She said that though she knew her grandmother wouldn't waste her gift money, she would feel happier if she could at least know how the money is spent.
"It would make me feel a little bit more grown-up," she said.
【小题1】Chen Jie’s grandmother ________.
