A
Hit the sales.
No one wants to get up at four o’clock in the morning and fight to get the best deal on Black Friday， and it’s surely very tough to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal， but sometimes——it can be well worth. Many retailers(零售商) offer specials all through the day——and some even offer online Black Friday specials， so you may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday.
Pay close attention to advertisements.
Once the Christmas shopping season is coming， retailers hungry for business will do just about whatever to get you in the store. Pay very close attention to weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers and you may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.
Shop online.
Some of us don’t like running from store to store in order to get the best price on the perfect gift， and some of us don’t like to go out in the cold at all——thankfully for us， we can do online shopping.
The world of online shopping lets people visit all the major retailers as well as some specialty stores that could only be found on the Internet. Customers can find exactly what they are looking for， at the best possible price without ever having to leave the house. With traditional Christmas shopping consumers are sometimes limited to what’s left in stock if they wait too long to get to a particular store.

B
Many people influenced various aspects of my life， based on their personal characteristics， accomplishments， and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders， who have inspired me by their contributions to society， and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life， the person I admire most is my father.
As the youngest girl in my family， I always considered myself to be “Daddy’s little girl”. While I grew up， it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children’s lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel， so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people. Whenever I feel like giving up， or have a question or a concern， I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others’ needs ahead of your own， but you should make sure you are not taken advantage of by others. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times， and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on， no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in， and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind， compassion(同情) for people， and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved man， but to everybody’s surprise， he has a great sense of humor， and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife， his children and his friends.
Living in his affection and instruction， I am very proud of my father. He also professes(声称) how proud he is of his children， and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in.
