阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。
Have you ever wondered why your pocket money runs out so quickly? Or have you regretted spending your birthday money on sweets or online games when you could have saved up to buy something you really wanted instead? If so, making a budget can be of great help to you. It makes it much easier to save up for more expensive things.
What is a budget? A budget is a plan that helps us decide how to make, save and spend our money. It doesn't matter whether you're planning how to keep the country running smoothly, or trying to work out how long you'll have to save up to buy a new video game — the basic idea is the same. Making a budget is the best way to take control of your money.
How do you make a budget? Pick up a pen and paper and write down the money you make. Add the money that you make from doing a part-time job. This is your "income". Next, write down any money that you spend in your everyday life. Perhaps you buy hot chocolate every week after going swimming, or you buy new clothes each month. This is called your "outgoings". When you subtract (减去) your outgoings from your income, you'll see how much you have left over to save or spend.
So keep an eye on your budget. It's a good idea for students to learn how to deal with money. Your budget will help you see how much you can afford to save each week and how long it will take to reach your goal. You might then decide to spend less on sweets to save a little more money, or think of ways to make more money, so that you can reach your goal faster. Making a budget is really a useful life skill.

Step 1 圈画题干中的关键词
If you are making a budget, what two things should you list first?
Step 2 根据圈画的关键词，快速定位到原文中
第三段中的“How do you make a budget?... Add the money that you make from doing a part-time job. This is your ‘income’. Next, write down any money... or you buy new clothes each month. This is called your ‘outgoings’”
Step 3 根据原文信息和题干设问角度，进行同义句转换
①疑问词 what 在本题中问的是物品，可以用名词或完整的句子来回答。
②结合 Step 2 中的内容可知，你如果在做预算，首先应该列出收入和支出两件事。故答案为“My/Our/The income and outgoings. /I/We should list my/our/the income and outgoings.”。
Step 4 检查单词的拼写、首字母大小写、主谓一致、标点符号等
