Some people will do just about anything to save money.And I am one of them.Take my family's last vacation.It was my six-year-old son's winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a week long trip.The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back.But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay.I took off for home.

The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight.Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport to “earn” more Delta dollars.Our total take：$1, 600.Not bad, huh?

I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth.I'm also tight-fisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants.But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut.It keeps its shape

Ⅲ. One possible version：

Li_Hua_and_Wang_Hai_are_two_students_of_Senior_Three.Both_of_them_work_hard_but_they_have_different_learning_methods.Li Hua listens to her teachers attentively, tries to catch everything that the teachers say in class and consults her teachers as often as possible if she has some problems.Because of this, she spends less time doing her homework, so it is certain that she can go to bed earlier and she always keeps energetic in the day.

However, Wang Hai has quite a different way of learning.He likes to sit up late at night doing his homework, so he often feels sleepy in class.As a result, he misses lots of key points and it usually takes him more time to finish his homework, which makes it difficult for him to concentrate on what he is doing.

In my opinion, Li Hua learns more effectively in class and has more free time to enjoy herself.So I prefer her learning method.
