British children are getting less pocket money than
last year, writes Sandra Broom. On average, they are
getting 7 % less than last year. But a lot of children say
that they still have an easy life. "My parents usually give me
what I want when I want it," said one teenager, Mary Owens.
"I'm sure I have an easier life than my parents did when they
were children,” she added.
Last year 12-year-olds were getting an average of £5.30
a week, and this year they're getting an average of £3.50;
14-year-olds were getting £8.40 a week, and this year they're
getting £8, but 16-year-olds are getting more this year at £17.50
compared to £17.37 last year.
Eight out of ten children do extra jobs like washing up
and doing the shopping to earn their money. A lot of 12- and
14-year-olds do paper rounds while 16-year-olds work in shops on
Saturday and during the holidays. Some girls work as waitresses
and babysitters while boys often help with milk rounds.
12-year-olds spend most of their money on sweets, 14-year-
olds spend their money on clothes, and 16-year-olds spend their
money on going out.
But today's children save a lot of money, too. 12-year-olds
save half their pocket money, while 14- and 16-year-olds save at
least a third.

Sport is very important in our life. The general belief is that a person who goes in for sports can’t be weak and ill. Physically inactive people get old earlier that those, who find time for sport activity. And of course good health is better than good medicine.
People all over the world are fond of sports and games. In our country sport is being widely popularized as well. The most popular kinds of sport are football, volleyball, basketball, tennis, figure-skating, aerobics, ping-pong and swimming. A lot of people are fond of jogging. In schools and colleges sport is a compulsory subject. Many young people attend sport sections. Some of them dream to become professional sportsmen.
As for me, I can’t imagine my life without sport. In summer I go jogging every morning and when I have free time I attend swimming pool. In winter I like to skate with my friends. It’s fun. Also I’m fond of aerobics. First of all aerobics helps to keep myself fit. It also attracts me because it resembles dancing.
In conclusion I’d like to say that I’m absolutely sure that doing sports is the best way to keep fit. Sport makes our bodies strong, it prevents us from getting too fat, and makes us more self-organized and better disciplined.
