Money may not buy happiness, but it helps in daily lives. Many teenagers don’t know how to manage money before going into the society. And they have no idea what it takes to make money or what it costs to live. So,
Earning Pocket Money
If you are a teen looking for some ways to get some pocket money, you have many choices available. It is possible for you to earn some pocket money by doing some jobs around the neighborhood. For example, mowing lawns (修剪草坪) is a good choice.
Making a plan
Figure out how much you can reasonably spend each day, each month even each year.
Helping Your Money Grow
Money can’t grow if it’s sitting inside a piggy bank. Each time you earn some money, part of the money should be saved into the bank and you can get some interest (利息). Grow your money in the long run. One day, you may feel surprised at how much money you have.

| B．they don’t have to work for their money. |
| C．If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans. |

| E．it is never too early to learn about the value of money as a teenager. |
Over the past two years, micro-dramas on online platforms (平台) have experienced a rapid growth in the Chinese market. What is a micro-drama? It often lasts only a few minutes, some even less than 60 seconds for each episode (集). It is typically played on mini-programs or social platforms. For example, micro-dramas like Unrivaled surpassed (超过) ¥100 million in eight days, while Night Shift Diary got more than one billion views. Please, Don’t Spoil Me, played on Tencent Video, surpassed ¥30 million, and the three-episode series Escape from the British Museum trended on Weibo for a long time.
Nowadays, micro-dramas are a new global fashion, and several Chinese micro-drama platforms developed abroad. Reelshort is one of the most popular apps of them. Some people believe that micro-dramas are wonderful with many advantages. They have mixed some elements of online literature and livestreamed short videos in a small structure. The micro-dramas allow audiences to enjoy the episodes without wasting much energy and time. They are easy to get, which contributes to their widespread acceptance, from public transportation to lifts. However, other people disagree. In their opinion, micro-dramas may have some-harmful (有害的) influences. To get higher clicks and viewership, the content (内容) may be about violence and other unhealthy stories.
Anyway, the future of micro-dramas is worth looking forward to if micro-drama makers improve their content and search for better IPs. More importantly, micro-dramas’ future lies in their mainstream and high-quality transformation, which is also the key to their continuous growth. To make certain of the high-quality growth of this, governments need to strengthen content control. If so, micro-dramas will become better and better.

The 2024 Spring Festival Gala official mascot (吉祥物), “Loong Chenchen”, was unveiled (公布) by the China Media Group on Wednesday. The name “Loong Chenchen” includes the Chinese character “Loong”, which translates to “dragon” in English. The dragon has held significant spiritual and cultural importance in China. The mascot “Loong Chenchen” shows great meanings of good luck, peace, health and happiness.
The mascot is designed (设计) difficultly, drawing ideas from China’s deep and rich traditional culture. For details, the design of the dragon claw (爪子) in “Loong Chenchen” gets ideas from the pattern of the Nine-Dragon Wall of the Palace Museum in Beijing. The pattern on the dragon stomach is from the cloud and thunder shapes in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The dragon fin (鳍) is based on a Tang Dynasty (618-907) artifact (历史文物) which looks like a moving gold dragon.
The color of “Loong Chenchen” has traditional Chinese names, including “Chengxia” and “Chunchen”. “Chengxia” which means red or rosy clouds in English, stands for youth and vitality. The color of “Chunchen” is a symbol of spring, hope and growth.
The Spring Festival Gala or “Chunwan” is so popular that it has become an important part of the Lunar New Year celebrations, which is deeply loved by the Chinese people. During the Spring Festival, families throughout China will come together. Broadcasting on the Lunar New Year’s Eve, the Gala is watched by more than one billion people. It symbolizes a time for family gatherings and the joyful beginning of the new year.
