       British teenagers cost their parents an average (平均) of￡9,000 a year. Where does their money come
from? And what do they like to spend it on? Let's see what the two boys said.
       Emil, 15, lives with his parents, two brothers and one sister.
       Income (收入): Every week I get￡30 from my parents. I usually spend it going out with my friends.
       Expenditure (花费): I have two phones. My parents pay for one — it's￡25 a month — and I pay for the
other. If I need clothes, and I really need them, my mum will give me the money. I pay ￡6 for my hair cut.
       Tom, another boy, 17, lives with his parents. They give some extra (额外的) money when he has used up
the money he gets from a part-time job.
       Income: I've got a part-time job. I do two evenings a week and on Sundays. My monthly wage (工资) is
about￡220. If I have used up my wages, I ask for a bit of money. If I ask my dad, he gives me the money and
then I have to pay him back at the end of the month, but my mum just gives me the money and says, "All right.
Have a good time!"
       Expenditure: I usually save up my pay for the things I want. If I need a little bit of extra money, I'll ask for
it as a present. But if I want anything else that costs more, I will spend some of my wages on it. My dad pays
￡25 for my monthly phone calls. I think he pays for it because he wants me to be able to keep in touch with
them.

On my eighth birthday, Dad bought me an accordion(手风琴） and said excitedly, "Once you learn to play, it'll stay with you for life." But I didn't want to play it. Ijust wanted to play games, But Dad asked me to take accordion lessons.
One day, I found a box in a corner. When I opened it, I saw a beautiful violin. "You’re your father's," Mum said. "His parents bought it for him. I guess he got too busy on the farm to learn to play it."
I had to practice half an hour every day, and every day I tried to get out of it. But Dad didn't allow. I asked why. He answered, "Because you can bring people joy. You can touch their hearts." He added softly, "Someday you'll have the chance I never had: you'll play beautiful music for your family. And you'll understand why you've worked so hard." I was speechless.
The lessons stopped after I finished high school. When I grew up, I got married and moved into a new house. I put the accordion in the attic（阁楼）.

At that moment, my father's words came back to me, "Someday you'll have the chance I never had. And you'll understand." I finally knew why Dad had asked me to practice hard. Dad never learnt to play his violin. But I told my family, "This is my father's music."
