How much pocket money(零花钱) do you get each week? How do you spend it? We ask three students about their pocket money and here are their answers.
He Jun: I get 40 yuan from my parents every two weeks. To get it, I have to clean the rooms, wash clothes and walk our family dog every day. I spend my money on snacks, CDs and hair clips. I love giving presents too. So I save 5 yuan a week to spend at Christmas.
Li Jiawen: My pocket money is only 10 yuan a week. Sometimes I get another 5yuan if I look after my young brother when my parents go out on Saturday. With the money, I have to pay bus fares(车费), so I often walk to school to save money. People say I am miserly(吝啬), but I don't think so. I'm just careful with money because 10yuan a week isn't enough(足够的).
Wang Yu: My parents give me 30 yuan every week. I spend most of it on snacks, computer games and books. I often buy too many things, so by Wednesday I have no money left. But my mum doesn't give me more money. I'm going to help in a bookshop this summer holiday. Then I can get 10 yuan every day. I'm saving money to buy a new bike.
Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is the most important festival for Chinese people. People celebrate it in different ways.
Traditional Chinese New Year Celebration
Traditionally, people make preparations one week before the Spring Festival. First, people sweep away dust and throw away old useless things. People believe that it is away to sweep away bad luck. Next, it's time for New Year shopping. People also decorate their houses with Spring Festival couplets, red lanterns and red paper-cuts.
Everyone returns home before the New Year's Eve and has a big reunion dinner. At
8: 00 p. m, people watch CCTV's New Year Gala and set off firecrackers and fireworks.
People usually spend the first day of Chinese New Year with their family members at home. During the following days, people visit different relatives and friends, bringing gifts and red envelopes.
New Trends for Celebrating Chinese New Year
More and more families choose to have reunion dinner at a restaurant for convenience. Restaurants offer feasts with a variety of delicious dishes. Many younger people organize their personal activities, like chatting with a group of friends online or singing in the KTV together. In recent years, fewer and fewer people set off frecrackers. It's normal to watch public fireworks shows at fixed locations.
Travelling during this holiday is also a good choice. It's a good opportunity for people to relax and spend quality time with family.
