　　"You see，" she began speaking slowly and carefully，"each person who works must pay part of his or her salary to the government. If you make a high salary, your taxes are high. If you don't make much money, your taxes are low."

　　"Does it make sense？" she asked."Does everyone understand the meaning of income tax？" The students nodded.

　　"Are there any questions？" she asked. The students shook their heads.

　　"Very good！" she said."Now, I would like you to take a piece of paper and write a short composition on the subject of income tax."
