　　My View on Spending Craze During Graduation

　　①In recent years, there is a growing concern for the spending craze during graduation. Thefarewell dinners, which once symbolized a celebration of the four-year friendship and the bitterness of pending departure, pose a gigantic financial burden on the graduates.

　　②A number of factors can account for such phenomenon, but the following might be the critical ones. ③Firstly, it’s an undeniable truth that today’s college students tend to spend much more money than before. ③What’s more, the farewell dinners are held in the name of more and more social groups, such as classes, college societies, dormitories and etc.

　　④In my view, the problem mentioned above has become increasingly severe, so great concern is deserved and effective measures are called for. ⑤To begin with, it is essential that the school should attach more importance to teaching the concept ofthrift. ⑤Secondly, students should enhance their awareness that money never stands for affection. ⑥Only with these measures taken, I’m convinced, can the craze of spending during graduation be eased.
