Hello everyone! The high school entrance test is finished, and the end of the school year is coming. This week students wrote about money, and here are a couple of their ideas from classes M3C and M3D.<\/p>\n

First, which expressions are ok, and which are wrong?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Few money<\/li>\n
  2. Much money<\/li>\n
  3. A lot of money<\/li>\n
  4. Many monies<\/li>\n
  5. A little money<\/li>\n
  6. A large amount of money<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Let\u2019s see!<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    If you chose 3, 5, and 6, good job! I was impressed how many students save their money. I was the opposite when I was younger, I spent everything I got.<\/p>\n

    Another student wrote about tipping, and how it might be difficult for her in another country.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    In Canada, tipping extra money is a way to say thank you for service. Generally I tip 15% of the bill at a restaurant, more for excellent service and less for bad service. I also tip taxi drivers so that they do not have to make change. So, if I ride is $17.50, then I would give a $20 bill and say \u201ckeep the change\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Another place to tip is a hotel. People that carry your bags or make the beds get a small tip. So does the bartender at a bar. Lastly, if someone delivers food to your door, give them a tip. They are working hard and paid little, so a tip will help them take care fo their car.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    A tip jar at a coffee shop.<\/p>\n

    You don\u2019t need to tip at a coffee shop, a restaurant where you carry your own food, or at a gas station where someone fills your car with gas. Sometimes these places have a \u201ctip jar\u201d which you can drop money into, but it is not necessary.<\/p>\n

    You also don\u2019t have to tip your English teachers, but saying a big \u201cGOOD MORNING\u201d when you come to school, or \u201cSEE YOU TOMORROW\u201d when you are going home is a nice tip!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
