When your parents give you pocket money every week, how do you deal with it
Read the story and talk about its main idea.
Mary and her cousins would go every month for a big family meal at their grandparents’ house. Their grandfather often gave them a few coins, saying, “You can buy yourself something.” None of them saved their money. They spend it all! The grandparents, aunts, uncles, and parents thought this was not good — the children would never learn to manage their pocket money. So they decided to have a test. They wanted to see what the children could get with the coins within a year.
Tom, the smallest kid, spent all his money on sweets.
Jim was strong-willed. He wanted to win the test. He saved every cent. He was the clear winner.
新课讲授
Reading
Then there was Mary. She loved the violin, but the family couldn’t pay for her violin lessons. So Mary went to her neighbour, a violinist. Mary offered him all the coins, asking the violinist to teach her how to play. It wasn’t much money, but seeing Mary’s excitement, the violinist agreed. He taught her happily for months. Later, the two played together in the park. They were very successful, and Mary was able to buy her own violin. Years later, Mary became a very famous violinist.
Spending money on self-improvement brings long-term rewards.
Read the story quickly and answer the questions.

Read and compare
Discuss the following questions and analyse the advantages and disadvantages of your choice.
We’ve learned how to manage money wisely. We can choose to spend it for momentary pleasure or save it for the future. But remember: Investing in ourselves is just as important. Above all, we should understand that money is a tool, not a goal. Self-investment creates the greatest value in the long run. What’s more, persistence and hard work are essential for self-improvement.

Present and explain
1. They wanted to see what the children could get with the coins within a year.
他们想看看孩子们在一年内能用这些硬币得到什么。
分析结构：本句是一个含宾语从句的复合句。主句结构：主语是They，谓语是wanted，to see... year 作宾语。宾语从句结构：引导词what（在从句中充当及物动词“get”的宾语）+ 主语the children + 谓语could get + 方式状语with the coins + 时间状语within a year。
Language points
宾语从句的引导词与语序：引导词“what”属于特殊疑问词，引导宾语从句时需将疑问句语序调整为陈述句语序（即“主语 + 谓语”）。
e.g. They wanted to check what gifts they could buy with the pocket money before Christmas.
他们想看看圣诞节前能用零花钱买到什么礼物。
She wanted to know if her friends could arrive at the station within an hour.
她想知道朋友们能否在一小时内到达车站。
2. Tom, the smallest kid, spent all his money on sweets.
the smallest kid 同位语
sb. spend + 时间/金钱 + on sth.：表示“某人在某物或某事上花费时间/金钱”，on 后接名词或代词 。
e.g. She spends two hours on her homework every evening.
她每晚花两小时做作业。
sb. spend + 时间/金钱 + (in) doing sth. ：表示“花费时间/金钱做某事”，介词 in 常省略，后接动名词 。
e.g. They spent a lot of money building their new house.
他们花了很多钱建新房。
3. Mary offered him all the coins, asking the violinist to teach her how to play.
长难句分析：该句为简单句。主语为Mary；谓语为offered；
双宾语为him（间接宾语）和all the coins（直接宾语）；逗号后asking the violinist to teach her how to play 是现在分词短语作伴随状语，表主动伴随动作。
offer sb. sth.=offer sth. to sb. 给某人某物
e.g. He offered me a book.=He offered a book to me.
他给了我一本书。
teach sb. sth. 教某人某事
teach sb. to do sth . 教某人做某事
e.g. She teaches me English. 她教我英语。
Who taught you to cook 谁教你做饭的？
