4. I am a student in a junior high school. Today in my class, my teacher Mr. Zhang told us to challenge ourselves to live on 6. 3 yuan a day tomorrow. This challenge is set to remember the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty by the World Food Program.
Many of us regarded it with great interest, but all of us thought it impossible to live on 6. 3 yuan a day. As for me, to be honest, I find it difficult to imagine myself in a such a situation. So far I've spent 30 yuan. I bought myself breakfast and lunch and a friend a bottle of water. It's only the start of a day. I need more money to pay for my supper, snacks and my bus fee later of the day. Totally, I think I will spend more than 50 yuan today.
Mr. Zhang said, "Just consider the things we buy every day:that bar of chocolate, a can of coke or small toys from a street seller, and so on. Are they really so necessary for us?" We thought for a while and shook our heads. " It is true that China is getting stronger and stronger nowadays. Many more people can afford what they want to buy. " Mr. Zhang went on, "However, there are still over 100 million people living below the poverty line. They don't have enough money for food or their children's education, especially the people who live in poor mountain areas. In my opinion, we can try to challenge ourselves to experience a poor child's life, so that we can value every cent our parents make and cherish our happy life. "
We all agreed with Mr. Zhang. Although it is hard to part with our snacks and toys, we would like to challenge ourselves and started to be excited discussing about how to spend 6. 3 yuan a day tomorrow.
