Teaching Children to Spend Pocket Money Wisely
① School—going children need pocket money for food， stationery and bus fares. Parents give pocket money to their children in different ways。 Some give a lump sum at the beginning of a month or a week。 Others prefer to give pocket money on a daily basis。 （1)The way in which pocket money is given affects how money is spent or saved。（承上启下的句子） On the other hand， the children’s spending habits may affect how pocket money is given.
② (2)Pocket money given on a daily basis is sometimes termed as "food money". Children usually use the pocket money to buy food during recess and also at lunch hour if they have school activities in the afternoon. They learn how to manage small sums of money. As the money is limited， they have to control their spending.(承上启下的句子）（3）Some parents choose this method of allocating pocket money in order to prevent their children from overspending, hoping that in time they can
be trusted with larger sums of money。 Parents who earn daily wages may also opt for this due to financial constraints.（承上句）
本部分重点及难点：
1。 The way in which pocket money is given affects how money is spent or saved。
(1) the way (in which / that) sb。 does sth. （参考Unit 2,Text A）
the way （in which / that) sth. is done
（2） 句子的主干是：The way affects how money is spent or saved.
2. Pocket money given on a daily basis is sometimes termed as "food money”.
(1) given on a daily basis 过去分词短语作定语
（2) be termed as 被称为…
3。 Some parents choose this method of allocating pocket money in order to prevent thei
r children from overspending, hoping that in time they can be trusted with larger sums of money。
(1） 句子的主干是Some parents choose this method in order to prevent their children from overspending.
prevent sb。 from doing sth。与keep sb. from doing sth. 相同，但前者from可以省略，后者不能省略.
(2) hoping that…伴随状语,相当于in the hope that…”怀着……的希望”
（3） in time: sooner or later, eventually 迟早，最后
You will learn how to do it in time。 你迟早会能学会做这件事的。
（4) trust …with…把……托付给…… （参考Unit 3，Text B）
③ Giving pocket money on a daily basis places responsibilities of budgeting on the parents, instead of the child。 (4)The child may spend every single cent of the daily pock
et money by overindulging in junk food as they know they will get another sum of money the next day。 This results in children being shortsighted in their spending. The thought of saving money never crossed their minds. （承上启下的句子） They may develop the mentality that money is meant to be spent.（承上句）Others spend more than they are given. They borrow from their siblings or their classmates when they feel like indulging themselves。 Then they may ask for money to pay off their debts. (5)This habit of borrowing causes them to depend on others to solve their problems.（承上启下的句子） In such instances， the purpose of rationing is defeated.

4。 The child may spend every single cent of the daily pocket money by overindulging in junk food as they know they will get another sum of money the next day. 孩子知道第二天还能得到一笔零花钱，因而会花光每一分钱，暴食垃圾食品.
