Most children like pocket money. These days people think children can get pocket money through work. Children can use pocket money to buy clothes, favorite books and other things.
Some children help parents do housework to get pocket money. They are busy studying from Monday to Friday, so they usually do housework on weekends.
When children get older, they work harder to get more pocket money. Some children often get part-time (兼职) jobs on holidays, so does Tony. Two years ago, he sold newspaper to the people in the neighborhood. He must get up very early every day. He bought some books and a new watch with the money. He not only made money but also learned how to get on well with others.
Children can also improve (提升) themselves by doing so.
