    Đoạn văn này khá rõ ràng và dễ hiểu, đúng kiểu bài học sinh viết nên đọc rất tự nhiên. Câu mở đoạn nêu đúng trọng tâm “saving money is important”, sau đó các ý được triển khai lần lượt bằng First, Second, In addition, Finally nên mạch rất logic. Các ví dụ như nấu ăn ở nhà, đi xe bus hay săn giảm giá đều rất thực tế, tạo cảm giác gần gũi chứ không bị “lý thuyết”. Ngữ pháp, đặc biệt là thì hiện tại đơn, được dùng ổn để nói về thói quen và lời khuyên chung.
