Everybody wants a new start for a new school year. So, students often go back-to-school shopping. They buy    and shoes. But the story is not so easy.
‘Mum, I want this pair of shoes!’
‘Dear! Those are 900yuan!That is too     !’
‘But all the boys in my class wear this brand!’
So the real story is :Kids      to catch up with fashion.
Chinese students       uniforms at school. Parents think all the kids look the same, but        know the differences. The ‘rich ’kids wear amazing watches, ride      and use cool pencil cases. They show off their expensive things to        kids .The everyone else wants them ,too. For example, some ‘rich’ kids use pencil box that      1,000yuan! It not only holds pencils, but also has a thermometer(温度计)，a compass, a music box and even games in it! But think about it: Do you really need       a special pencil box? What can you do with a compass        a thermometer in class? They only distract (分散注意)you。
As for these ‘rich’ kids, they are not rich at all.       parents buy them all their cool things. They may have an advantage now,      it won’t last forever. If you want to show off     money you have, you have to make it yourself first. So, study hard .You will get a great job in the future.
Parents should also learn       to refuse their kids’ demands. They should       their kids: As students, what is really important is not school fation but good grades.
