Students all around the world think it great to have some money in their pocket. But how much do they get?
In the US, a little pre-school kid may get a dollar or two, but older children get more. A lot of American parents give pocket money to their children, but their children have to do chores.
In Britain, kids in primary school get 4 or 5 pounds each week. When they enter middle school, they get about 9 pounds.
In London, children get 10 pounds every week, children in Scotland get 8 pounds, and children in Wales get the most, about 13.5 pounds! Also, in British, boys get a little more pocket money than girls.
Like kids in the US, British children do chores to earn their pocket money. That’s why British children know a lot about spending money. 7% of them spend less than £1 each week, 22% spend between £1 and £5, and 20% spend over £5 each week. What do they buy with their money? Most of them spend it on sweets, crisps and chocolate.
Some parents may ask the question, the answer is: Of course yes!
If children have some pocket money, they can learn to find out what things cost, save money for things that they want. There are lots of good lessons to learn:
★If you spend it all at once, there is no money until your next “pay day”.
★If you buy the wrong thing, you’ll be more wise next time.
★If you borrow money, you have to pay it back.![]()

The Spring Festival is the biggest festival for Chinese people all around the world.. The celebration usually lasts for 15 days. There is a lot to do.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, family members get together and have big meals. Their favourite dish on this day is dumplings.
Days before the Spring Festival, families will clean their homes. People think cleaning sweeps away bad luck. It makes the house ready for good luck.
The colour red is everywhere during the Spring Festival. People think red is a happy colour and will bring them a bright future. People wear red, too. They decorate (装饰) their homes with pieces of red paper. Kids get a lot of “hong bao”. It is a red paper bag with money in it. Usually, older people give younger ones hong bao. They think it brings good luck.
The Spring Festival is the time to make everybody happy. So don’t say any bad words or do anything that will bring unhappiness to other people.
