　　The Moonlight Clan

　　Nowadays, more and more people, [1]especially the young are joining in the army of “the moonlight clan”. These people exhaust their earnings every month without any savings. [2]Many people think this is a fashionable life style, [2]while more other people object to this kind of consumption style.

　　[3]Those who support “the moonlight clan” think that those people know how to enjoy life and have a higher life quality. [3]However, more other people criticize “the moonlight clan”. They say that the consumption habit of “the moonlight clan” is unhealthy and sometimes wasteful. In addition, no savings will [4]place “the moonlight clan” in a difficult position [5]in case of unexpected expenses.

　　[6]Weighing these two arguments, I prefer to the latter one. In my eyes, [7]though “the moonlight clan” may acquire temporary satisfaction from their consumption, [8]in the long term, it [9]is unfavorable to their family and career. [10]Just as a proverb says, one should always prepare for a rainy day.
