三、回答问题
请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答五个问题，并将答案写在横线上。要求所写答案语法正确、信息完整切题。
As children, we should learn about money as early as possible to deal with our own money. Let's start with our pocket money!
First, don’t spend all your money. Divide your pocket money into three parts: “save”, “spend” and “share”. Because for most people, their money won’t always be enough for everything they want. You should know the difference between “needs” and “wants” to make better choices with your money! Most of the time, people buy something they don’t need, which is a waste of money. As a result, people not only lose money, but also have lots of things that they don’t use in their daily lives.
Second, learn to make plans and record what you buy. Never spend more than what you have. Make plans for how you spend your money. Besides, record what you buy. This helps you see where your money goes. Also, it shows you if you keep your plans or if you need to change your plans. Think carefully whether you spend the money in a proper or right way. This way, you won’t buy things you don’t need or already have.
Take care of your money! Take care of yourself!
11. How many parts does the writer advise us to divide our pocket money into?

12. Why should we know the difference between “needs” and “wants”?

13. Is it a waste of money for us to buy something we don’t need?

14. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

15. According to the writer, what should we take care of?

12. To make better choices with our money.
13. Yes, it is.
14. It refers to recording what you buy. / Recording what you buy.
