One possible version
Hello everyone. Our group’s weekly pocket money is 70 yuan. We spend 35 yuan on three daily meals, 15 yuan for after-school activities and 10 yuan on other small things. Finally we can save 10 yuan every week.
We make this plan to avoid wasting money on useless snacks like Tom. We set money for hobbies as Mary did and keep regular savings like Jim. We will use our savings to buy storybooks and learning supplies later.
