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.
