Here is my contribution for this text:

Who wrotes it?

What about an outline:"First I will... and then I will..."?

Later, as the text explains, children will learn that they can't spend more than they have though it is always possible to have a loan. Because ("But"?) a loan could be usefull for something more important than their personnal convenience, such as a house or a car.

I underlined what I did not understand (why did you write "because"?).

Vocabulary : a loan = un prêt

I think you're right to write "but" instead of "because". I wrote "because", because i wanted to say that if they have a loan now, it will be more difficult to have a loan later.

Concerning the presentation of the text, i wonder if it is penalizing not to present the author and not to give the entire date. I reduce voluntarily this part to have more time to sum up the text because i find this more intersting. But perhaps the jury want to hear the date and the author's name...I don't know.

To finish thank you for your correction I may imagine that it spends time

You're right Orion, it's a summary thus you don't need to introduce what you 'll do first! They expect a summary and your own comment!

This article was written by Hap Le Crone on Friday the seventh of October 2005. It was published in the American daily newspaper Waco Tribune-Herald.

The main purpose of this text is to explain how parents can teach the value of money to their offspring.

The author said it would be helpul for adult life to learn using money and fiscal responsibility during childhood. Young adult could feel more in control of their lives.

However, we can wonder: would there be someone else to help parents in teaching such values like honesty, kindness, respect and money responsibility?

Wouldn't school and teachers have a role in teaching the value of money to pupils?

If the author proposes parents to use an allowance system, incorporating money management skills in the home, it would be different at school.

As far as I'm concerned, as a future primary school teacher I would teach the value of money in mathematics first, with the resolutions of problems. But also when class needs money to buy books for example. Pupils could write a letter to the city hall, asking the mayor to help them.

Pupils could also organize a sale of cakes to finance a trip.

These propositions would be another solution to teach children the value of money in the school everyday life.

"Kids" is a good synonymous for "children".

Yes, but "kids" is a bit familiar ( though it's common )

what about : teenagers / young people... ?
