This is a jacket I bought some months ago, but I didn’t wear it
since there are more fashionable clothes to wear. I have been
keeping it for weeks, so I recognize that it wasn’t a good
investment. Maybe I bought it without any planning.

Activity 2. Survey your parents about what they have spent the family income along the current
year. Then identify the same expenses during the previous year and compare by
creating a pie chart. Finally report (written and orally) the results and state your points
of view. Include or replace the items you consider to be needed.

Follow the example:

Today, families want to be more fashionable and

spend their own money on what they want.
Their consumption of some things has changed
significantly this year. These are the figures for
what teenage my parents spent their money on
this year compared to last year.
I think my parents shouldn’t waste their money
in junk food, since it also affects our health. I
think buying clothes is a good investment, since
it’s something we use everyday and also lasts for
so long. They shouldn’t buy music, they should
use online sites to access their favorite music,
and books are more important than video
games. . .
