Read and answer
Emma was excited when she heard about a big sale at a store near her home. Everything was 20% off, and she wanted to go shopping with her mum, Mrs Carson.
Mrs Carson asked Emma what she wanted to buy, but Emma wasn’t sure yet. She saw a pretty cotton dress, a nice blouse, and some cool shoes. However, her mum reminded her that she already had enough clothes.
“You already have so many blouses, Emma. I don’t think you need any more,” Mrs Carson said.
Disappointed, Emma thought for a moment and said, “They used to be very expensive, but now they’re cheap...”
Reading
Mrs Carson smiled and explained, “It’s not just about the price, Emma. We should spend money wisely. Before buying something, we should consider our needs and wants.”
Curious to learn more, Emma asked, “What do you mean by needs and wants, Mum ”
Patiently, Mrs Carson explained, “Needs are things that we must have, like food, clothes, and a safe home. Wants, on the other hand, are things that we desire but can live without. It’s important to make smart choices with our money.”
Emma started to realise how important it was to manage money wisely. By understanding the difference between needs and wants, she knew that she could make better decisions about money.
Read the passage and answer the questions.
A What news made Emma excited
B What is the difference between needs and wants
C What did Emma learn from the conversation with her mum
The news that a big sale (with everything 20% off) at a store near her home made Emma excited.
Needs: Things we must have (e.g., food, clothes, a safe home).
Wants: Things we desire but can live without.
Emma learned to spend money wisely by understanding the difference between needs and wants — so she can make better decisions about money.
Read the passage again and analyse the characters of Emma and Mrs Carson. You can make notes about each character’s traits, thoughts, and feelings, etc.
Emma is impulsive and excited about shopping, while Mrs Carson is wise and patient.
You can refer to specific lines in the passage to support your analysis, like the following sentences: “Disappointed, Emma thought for a moment and said, ‘They used to be very expensive, but now they’re cheap...’ ” to show Emma’s idea of price.
1. Emma was excited when she heard about a big sale at a store near her home.
sale 名词，意为“特价销售；销售；销售量”，复数形式 sales 表示“销售；销售额”。
sale 的常见搭配：(1)have big sales/a big sale 大减价
(2)for sale 待售；供出售
(3)on sale 出售；减价出售
(4)yard sale 庭院拍卖会
相关词汇：sell v. 售卖；出售
Language points
e.g. The store is having a sale on clothes this weekend.
这家商店本周末服装大减价。
The company’s sales increased by 20% this year.
这家公司今年销售额增长了 20%。
He bought a TV on sale at the mall.
他在商场买了一台特价电视机。
The house with a red door is for sale at $300,000.
那栋有红门的房子要以30 万美元的价格出售。
2. However, her mum reminded her that she already had enough clothes.
长难句分析：该句为复合句，为主谓双宾结构，her mum 作主句主语，reminded 作谓语，her 作间接宾语；宾语从句that she already had enough clothes 作直接宾语，其中she 为从句主语，had 为实义动词have 的过去式，作谓语，enough clothes 为宾语。
3. Disappointed, Emma thought for a moment and said, “They used to be very expensive, but now they’re cheap...”
Disappointed 在句中作状语。
be disappointed in/with sb./sth. 表示“对某人/ 某物失望”
used to 过去常常
e.g. My teacher will be disappointed in me if I fail in the exam.
如果我考试不及格,老师将为我感到失望。
e.g. I used to play basketball every day after school.
我过去常常放学后每天都打篮球。
4. It’s not just about the price, Emma.
price 一词多义：(1) 作名词，意为“价格；价钱”，常与at 连用。表示价格的高低时，要用high 或low 修饰；若表示某物价格昂贵或便宜，则用：“sth. + b e + expensive/cheap”或“the price of + sth. + be + high/low”。常见搭配：① the price of... ……的价格，作主语时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
② at... prices/at a(n)... price 以……的价格
③ What’s the price of... ……的价格是多少？
(2)作名词，意为“物价”时多用复数prices。
(3)作动词，意为“给……定价”，price sth. (at sth.)。
注意：询问某物的价格时，常用What’s the price of... 或How much...
e.g. What’s the price of the sweater = How much is the sweater
这件毛衣的价钱是多少？
She sold the house at a high price. 她以高价卖了这所房子。
The store prices all goods fairly. 这家商店给所有商品定价公平。
5. Curious to learn more, Emma asked, “What do you mean by needs and wants, Mum ”
What do you mean by needs and wants
=What does “needs and wants” mean
= What is the meaning of “needs and wants”
Curious to learn more 在句中作状语。
6. Wants, on the other hand, are things that we desire but can live without.
on the other hand另一方面，作插入语
e.g. The library is quiet. On the other hand, the playground is noisy. 图书馆很安静，另一方面，操场很吵闹。
7. Emma started to realise how important it was to manage money wisely.
manage 作动词，意为“明智地使用(金钱、时间、信息等)；管理；操纵；负责；应付”，manage 后跟名词、代词，意为“经营……”。manage to do sth. 意为“设法做成某事”。
相关词汇：management n. 管理；经营 manager n. 经理
e.g. Teenagers should learn to manage their pocket money.
青少年应学会明智地使用零花钱。
Mr. Baker managed to find a place where he could park his car.
贝克先生设法找到了可以停车的地方。
He has good management. 他有高明的经营手段。
Her father is the manager of the company. 她爸爸是这家公司的经理。
辨析：manage to do 与try to do
manage to do 强调“结果”，意为“设法做成某事”，意义相当于succeed in doing sth.。
try to do 强调“过程”，意为“努力去做某事”，结果不一定是“做到了”某事。
8. By understanding the difference between needs and wants, she knew that she could make better decisions about money.
decision 作名词，意为“决定；抉择；果断”，构成短语：make a decision，意为“作出决定”。
make a decision to do sth. 意为“决定做某事”，相当于decide to do sth.。change one’s decision 改变决定
相关词汇：decide v. 决定
e.g. It’s hard to make a decision between two choices.
在两个选择间作决定很难。
The teacher supported my decision to study abroad.
