Besides studying and tests, teens need to learn some life skills for the future. These skills can help them live by themselves. The following are some necessary skills.
*Managing money
You often get a little money from your parents and you may spend it as you like. You can make a list of the things that you want to buy, and plan how to spend the money. Don't waste.
*Washing and cleaning
Doing laundry correctly is important. You should first read the instructions on clothing, and then check the pockets of the clothes. Pay more attention to different colors of them.
As for cleaning, you should learn how to use brooms(扫帚), mops(抹布) and so on. If you often do more cleaning, the people who live with you will thank you for the efforts you make.
*Cooking your favorite meals
You should learn how to cook a few of your favorite meals. First ask your parents for help to decide on the menu and ingredients(原料), and then you can go shopping, cook the meals and clean up the kitchen together.
