8、 given.正上学的孩子们需要零花钱来买吃的、买文具，还有支付公交费用。父母们采用不同的方式来给予他们零花钱。有的父母会在月初或每周之初一次性给予孩子们一笔钱，有的更倾向于每天给一些。然而，零花钱的给予方式却影响着孩子们花钱或省钱的方式。另一方面，孩子们的消费习惯也会对父母给予零花钱的方式产生影响。Pocket money given on a daily basis(过去分词作定语) is sometimes termed as food money.

11、薪资的父母，由于经济拮据，也会选择这个方法。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.

14、付给 （参考Unit 3，Text B）Giving pocket money on a daily basis places responsibilities of budgeting on the parents, instead of the child. 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. This results

17、。这导致孩子们养成了目光短浅的消费习惯。省钱的观念从来不会出现在他们的大脑中。他们可能会形成“钱就是用来花的”心态。有些孩子花的钱比得到的多。当他们想要放纵自己时，就会向兄弟姐妹或同学借钱。然后，他们再要钱来偿还这些债务。这种借钱的习惯造成孩子们在解决问题时依赖他人。从这些案例来看，定额分发零花钱的做法没有达到培养孩子理性花钱的目的。孩子们应该学会如何规划自己的钱。有些父母亲奉行“在实践中学习”这一理念，在月初一次性给孩子们一笔钱，结果到这个月的第三周时这笔钱便已经被花光了。本部分重点及难点：4.

30、任何习惯都是从幼年开始形成的。要教会孩子们学会理财的话，没什么能比得上让他们开始管理自己的零花钱这种方法好了。从幼儿园开始就需要让他们知道合理规划的重要性。从按天给过渡到按月给零花钱也是个不错的选择。当孩子们学会了如何量入为出地花钱时，他们就会管理好自己未来生活中的财产状况。本部分重点及难点：9.
