1 第四组第四组 A A Last year,my mum and I joined my dad in California during the summer vacation.We visited two famous amusement parks of Los AngelesUniversal Studio and San Diego Sea World. In Universal Studio,I saw how rain,car crash,air crash effects are created for movies.I also saw the sets where Spider Man movies are made.I saw Mr Beans car.We also experienced a live show of Fear Factor.There we enjoyed a ride about the Jurassic Park. Then we visited the San Diego Sea World where we saw a lot of dolphin shows and one show by “Shamu”the famous shark.We also had a 4D movie experience in the “Haunted House”.We saw an effect where a snake seemed to strike out of the screen and come into the audience.We enjoyed a simulated helicopter(模拟直升机) ride to the Antarctic Glaciers(南极冰川).

When should parents begin teaching their children about money?Experts agree that its never too early.The more children learn about money,the more wisely they will be able to deal with money as they grow older.To begin with,parents can teach kids how to count money. Next,parents can teach kids how to save money.For example,a kid wants a new bicycle.Parents can teach them to save part of their pocket money for that bike,while still keeping some money for ice- cream and movies.In this way they will begin to understand the meaning of saving. Also,it is never too early to teach children different ways to make money besides snatching(抢) red envelops.For example,they can wash cars,clean gardens,look after babies and so on.Sit down with children and talk with them about some ways they could to make money.You will be surprised and glad at the effort they will begin making.
