　My friend John is a university student. Last year he went to Japan and stayed for two months. I was surprised that John was able to have such a long holiday in Japan because he was not rich enough.

　“How did you get so much money, John?”I asked. “I thought you could stay in Japan for at most（最多）two weeks.”“It was easy,”John answered. “I got a job in Japan.”“A job? What did you do?”“I gave English lessons to a shop-owner. We became good friends.”“But you're not a teacher!”“Mr Tanaka, the shop-owner, knew I was not a teacher, but he said he had a lot of American customers, so he wanted to learn English. I spent three hours a day talking to him. In return, he gave me a room, three meals a day and quite a lot of pocket money.”“Did he learn much English?”

阅读下面文章，根据文章内容用条形图表来表示，不同的学生人数把零花钱用在不同的用途上。

There are 50 students in Class 3, Grade 8 in our school. All of them have some pocket money.How to spend it is very important.

Nearly half of the students in Class 3, Grade 8 spend most of their pocket money on fast food. About a quarter of them spend money on computer games. A few of them spend money seeing films,buying clothes or presents,15 percent of students like to buy books . Eating too much fast food is bad for our health.I think playing computer games is a waste of time. We’d better spend our pocket money on what is good for us.
