Are you good with money? Do you get pocket money from your parents or do you work to make money? Read on to find out about British teenagers and their money!

    Pocket money

    Most teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. They might have to do some housework to get pocket money, including cleaning, cooking, washing dishes and so on.

    Part-time work

    A part-time job is a choice for teenagers who don't have pocket money or who want to get extra money. About 15% teenagers have a job. Only children over the age of 13 can work. Popular part-time jobs for teens include babysitting, delivering (递送) newspapers, restaurant work and shop work. Children in Britain can work two hours a day at the most on a school day but not during school hours. During weekends and school holidays, they can work longer hours.

    Bank accounts (账户)

    Some children and teenagers have a bank account. There is no age limit at which you can open a bank account, but a bank manager can decide whether to open an account for a child or a young person. Parents can put pocket money directly into their child's bank account. Most banks have a prepaid bank card designed for young people.

    Mobile apps

    Many companies have made mobile apps for children, including GoHenry, Osper and Gimi. Parents can add money to their children's accounts and check to see how the money is spent. Children can choose to save their money or spend it using a card. The apps suggest that kids from 8 to 13 can use the cards.

    So, many teenagers are getting experience working part-time, dealing with banks and deciding whether to save or spend their money. These are all steps towards becoming a financially independent (经济独立的) person and making and looking after your own money.

Books are our greatest friends. They tell us stories of every country in the world. They give us all kinds of knowledge.

Life is short. One can't know and see everything in the world. With the help of books, one is able to know what happened thousands of years ago and what is happening in every part of the world now.

Books give us not only knowledge but also pleasure. Reading good books is the best way of spending our free time. And many beautiful stories for children are interesting and full of wisdom(智慧).

All the great men love books. Knowledge from books helps them to succeed because books are a source(源泉) of knowledge and knowledge is the source of success.

Sam wants to be a musician. When he was a young kid，he loved music very much. Now he enjoys playing many instruments such as the guitar，the violin and the drum  but he loves playing the piano most.

Sam has wanted to be a musician since he first learned to play the piano. He likes to play the piano because it always makes him quiet when he is angry or sad. Also，he likes to listen to all kinds of music. 

He'd like to be a musician and play great music in his concerts. He hopes his friends and many other people will go to his concerts. Then he can get a lot of money from the concerts and give all the money to other children who need money. 

Of course，he will have to practice very hard if he wants to be a musician. We hope that he can become a musician. Then he'll be very happy and do some things to help many people. 

Each country has its own "art of living". For example, the word "niksen" shows how Dutch people fight stress and tiredness in a fast-paced lifestyle.

The term "niksen" comes from the Dutch word "niks", which refers to"nothing". In practice, "niksen"could be as simple as just relaxing, looking at your surroundings or listening to music- as long as it's without purpose and not done in order to achieve something. Think "simply sitting in a chair or looking out of the window,"says Ruut Veenhoven, a professor at Erasmus University who studies happiness.

"Niksen" sounds contrary to the advice that we were all given as kids. Nowadays, we're always told to stay bus y and work harder than everyone else. But "niksen" is against that attitude. It offers the chance to "deliciously do nothing", as Carolien Hamming told Time. She thinks that "niksen" is very important to staying healthy, since it's a form of men tal relaxation and healing. Just like a wild animal lying in wait for their food,"niksen" seems to be a natural state of being.

For some people,"niksen" can mean more than just men tal relaxation. It's also a way to imagine new ideas or plans. As an early adopter of "niksen", Jenny Holden, adds it to her daily lunch breaks."Within 10minutes of doing nothing-just staring and listening to myself-my head began to clear and pick out my work and home to-do lists", she told the Metro UK. However, for many, doing nothing isn't as simple as it sounds.In fact, it can be somewhat challenging to sit still and stare out a window.

Above all, "niksen" is a suggestion for balancing work and rest. As Dutch-bom writer Ogla Mecking wrote in Whoolly Magazine,"niksen" is the full enjoyment of life's breaks".

Everyone is encouraged to have your "niksen" moments. They give you the strength to face everyday challenges.

Kids need to be active for at least 60 minutes a day.There is no need to let weather stop your kids from the activities they need.There are still lots of great activities that you can do to make them move and have fun at home.

We all dream about life in the future. What do you think it will be like? Perhaps（也许）in the future people will fly up into space and have their holidays on the moon，and scientists will live under the sea. There will be robots in our homes. Women won't do housework. They will have more free time. Robots will help them do everything at home. We will be able to do some shopping without（不；没有）leaving our homes. I'm sure that there will be more e-schools，so children can study at home on the Internet. They won't go to school.
