英语自学网

　　很多中国父母经常用给孩子零花钱的方式来激励孩子好好学习，你赞同这种做法吗?
        　　Pocket Money
        　　Personally, I don’t believe that giving children pocket money is a very
good idea. In my opinion, doing so only encourages children to think that things
in life are free. As humans, we only value those things that cost us something
to obtain.
        　　When I was a child, my parents never gave us any pocket money(or
“allowance” as we call it in America). They made us work to earn any money we
had. They wanted us to know that money is valuable, and that hard work is even
more valuable. They wanted us to learn to make wise choices with our money, and
they knew we would be more careful with our money if we earned it ourselves.
Finally, they wanted us to understand that work and money are related: you
cannot have one without the other.
        　　I think there are two things parents need to do to help their children
understand the value of money. First, they should make their children earn their
spending money, which will make the children consider the money precious.
Second, they should not always stop their children from doing foolish things
with their money. Making some mistakes will teach the children to be wise.
