Answer 1

According to a survey，in recent years monthly expenses of a middle school student have been on the sharp rise．Many students have no concept of thrift in their mind．They take it for granted that they spend money from their parents．This phenomenon is mainly caused by the following factors．（开门见山地简单阐述现象）
   First of all，nowadays most of the students are the only children of their families．They are the apple in their family's eyes and naturally get more care and pocket money．In addition，with the improvement of living standards，parents can afford higher expenses of their children．Moreover，some students like to pursue fashion．（分析原因）
From my opinion of view，a middle school student，as a pure consumer，should learn to be thrifty．We should limit our expenses and not buy whatever we want regardless of their price．The habit of thrift can help us form right values and is favorable to our future development．（简要总结，发表自己的观点）
