V. Translation
Money is fun and almost entirely self-explanatory. My way of teaching the child about money is setting up an account for him. Interest rate offered by the bank and compounded holds his attention and he has soon turned into a keen saver. Another attractive feature is that his account belongs to him. He can make other deposits, or withdrawals, whenever he likes.
Giving children more control, not less is helping him become a rational consumer.

New Interests of University Students
There has been a change of interests on campus in recent years. Many excellent students used to show a great interest in liberal arts. To become a writer was their life-long dream. Now top students go in for computer science, business studies and other subjects concerning finance. Obviously they believe if they master such subjects they are more likely to get well-paid jobs after their graduation.
Moreover, students display greater enthusiasm than ever in learning English. A good command of the language will open up new windows for them and help broaden their mind and horizon. Besides, with the carrying out of the open-door policy and the rapid development of our economy, more and more companies have entered into business relations with foreign firms. So university graduates with a good knowledge of English will find it easier to win good positions.
