一、英文：

Nowadays, many students in middle school ask their parents to buy them famous brand clothes, modern cellphones and fashionable MP4 players, etc. They ask for these things in order to follow the fashion.

Most teachers and parents think it’s not right for middle school students to spend so much money on these luxurious things.

Firstly, it does not fit in with the idea of building an economical society.

Secondly, as students, they should concentrate on their studies and not pay too much attention to fashion.

Finally, it’s not easy for their parents to support them during their school education. So, they shouldn’t spend too much money on these expensive things.

二、中文：现在有些中学生追求时尚，要求父母给他们买名牌服装、新款手机和MP4等。经讨论，看法如下：

这种现象与创建节约型社会不符；

学生应集中精力于学习上；

学生应体谅父母的钱来之不易。
