With the development of our modern society, people's living conditions become much more comfortable. But along with intense competition, parents have less time to consider children's needs in all-round. One method to solve this ontradiction is to give children some pocket money. Pocket money is useful to children. But whether the children are considerable enough to make correct use of these money. There are two viewpoints about the pocket money. Some people think that giving children pocket money will make them become luxurious. Others think that will not lead to such disadvantage. In my opinion, both of them are partially reasonable.

Someone believe that giving children pocket money really has many advantages. With pocket money, children can buy their daily necessities such as pencils, little toys, and snack food they like. It will give children a certain freedom to select what they want, make them aware rules of the equivalent exchange. Since time to parents is very precious, giving pocket money to children help them to save time spent in shopping, but used in busy working and earning money.

I think that parents should give their children a limited amount of pocket money. There are some preconditions: the amount of pocket money must be finite; the parents should instruct their children how to use the money moderately and what is suitable to them; for a costly merchandise, parents themselves should take children to buy it. With these preconditions, pocket money will do no harm to their children.

With the development of our modern society, people's living conditions become much more comfortable. But along with intense competition, parents have less time to consider children's needs in all-round. One method to solve this contradiction is to give children some pocket money. Pocket money is useful to children. But whether the children are considerable enough to make correct use of these money. There are two viewpoints about the pocket money. Some people think that giving children pocket money will make them become luxurious. Others think that will not lead to such disadvantage. In my opinion, both of them are partially reasonable.

Someone believe that giving children pocket money really has many advantages. With pocket money, children can buy their daily necessities such as pencils, little toys, and snack food they like. It will give children a certain freedom to select what they want, make them aware rules of the equivalent exchange. Since time to parents is very precious, giving pocket money to children help them to save time spent in shopping, but used in busy working and earning money.

Others insist that there are undoubtedly some disadvantages in spending pocket money. First, young children do not know how to use pocket money appropriately, they possibly consume all the money to buy expensive merchandise that they like, and then ask for extra money from their parents. Some parents cosset their children, and always give them a large amount of pocket money. Such conditions will make children become more and more prodigal. Second, since adults do not supervise the procedure of shopping, children could probably buy something that is not suitable for their age, such as adult magazines.

Judging these two viewpoints above-mentioned, I think that parents should give their children a limited amount of pocket money. There are some preconditions: the amount of pocket money must be finite; the parents should instruct their children how to use the money moderately and what is suitable to them; for a costly merchandise, parents themselves should take children to buy it. With these preconditions, pocket money will do no harm to their children.

例文2:
American kids and their allowances

Kids in America generally（通常）receive money from parents to spend on their own（独立地）. The money is called an allowance（零用钱）.

Allowances could be much or little

零用钱多少没个准

The amount of allowances could be much or little. It depends on（取决于）the family’s financial conditions（经济状况）and what the parents think. A rich family could give very little money to their children, because the parents believe their kids should work to earn their own money.

My friends have different allowances. One gets thirty dollars a week, and another gets a hundred a month. Some luckier ones can have the money whenever they ask for it, just as long as（只要）it’s reasonable（合理的）.

Each child in America receives his allowance at a different age. All of them are free to spend the money.

Saving up for things they want

攒零用钱拿来干嘛？

Receiving allowances from parents doesn’t mean that the children would spend without limits（限制）. Actually my friends bring lunches from home to avoid（避免）unnecessary（不必要的）spending. They are saving money to buy the things they want! They may be saving up（攒钱）for music CDs, gifts for holidays, or going out to the movies. My girlfriends save most of their money for clothes, of course.

My friend’s extreme saving case

攒钱买车的辛酸史

One of my friends went to the extreme（极端）; he wanted to save up for a car! He made a deal with（和……达成协议）his parents. He was to save up for the down payment（首期付款）(about three thousand dollars) of a new car, and his parents would pay for half of the payment of each month.

That was really a hard time for my friend. He took a part-time job at a fast food restaurant. He stopped buying food at school, and brought a lunch everyday. He even stopped spending money altogether! He didn’t go to the movies with us, and he never bought anything when we went shopping together.

And, he stopped buying clothes for himself. One day, his mother couldn’t bear it anymore, and bought him a whole closet（衣橱）of brand new（全新的）clothes!

In about a year, my friend finally had enough for the car’s down payment. He got his new car and took us all for a ride!
