Prepared by: Mr. S.Punithan Singaroo 15
Sample answer:
In a nutshell, buying stationaries is something
that we should do as students. Thus, we should
spend our money wisely. We should also save our
money for future purposes or during emergency. On
the other hand, we should not spend money like
water because we would not have enough money
during a rainy day. Saving money would also be
helpful for us to further our studies in the future. As
the saying goes, a penny saved is a penny earned.
