Read the text below. Sally and Asyraf are talking about visiting Australia during
this coming school holiday.

Sally : Asyraf, what is your plan for this coming school holidays? I am saving up some
money to visit my cousins in Perth, Australia.
Asyraf : That is great, Sally. I do not have any plans, yet. By the way, why are you saving
your own money, Sally? Aren't your parents supposed to pay for your trip?
Sally : Well, I had the same thought until I came across a post in a Travel Smart social
media page. It was an eye-opener for me. There are other ways to pay for a trip.
Have a look, I even saved the post and the comments in my phone.

I think it is not a problem if you want to save some money for a good cause. Travelling can
de nitely help us to see the world. Here are my tips for saving up some money prior to my trip.
Firstly, we need to be disciplined. I will normally start a ‘Green Box Project’. It is very simple, I just
need to nd a used box and cover it neatly. Then, I will label the box with the words ‘Green Box to
Tokyo’. I purposely used the word Tokyo so that it will motivate me to save. As for the Green Box, it
serves its purpose as I must put my RM5 notes into the box. Whenever I have a green note in my
wallet, I will put it into the box. Hence, it explains why I named it the Green Box Project. Hope this
one helps.

I really like your idea of saving money. Having a goal has really helped me in saving up. Since I am
13 years old, the easiest way of earning money is by doing chores around the house. My parents
have agreed to pay me if I take the garbage out or do the laundry. I might add another chore to the
list, which is mopping the oor. Hopefully my savings will enable me to join in a year-end school
trip to Sipadan Island in Sabah.
