二、☑对标 KET 能力 阅读关于 Mary 和 Wu Hui 的采访.回答问题。
新语篇·访谈报道 ◎建议用时:6分钟 ☑难度:★★★★☆
The school English Club has had an interview about pocket money. Let's have a look.
Mary
I have £15 as pocket money a month. Look at the chart on the right. I use the pocket money in this way. I think pocket money gives a kid a sense of independence(独立). If kids have their own money, they can buy what they need.

Wu Hui
I get ¥100 a month from my parents. My parents buy me clothes, so I don't spend any money on them. As the chart on the right shows, I save a half. So sometimes I can go to the cinema or buy birthday gifts for my parents and friends. I think it's important for kids to learn how to manage money. Of course, it doesn't mean "The more pocket money, the better." I think ¥100 a month is enough for someone of my age. Kids may buy something they don't need if they have too much pocket money.
