当孩子为家里主动分担家务的时候，父母会根据孩子的劳动情况给予孩子一定的零花钱，孩子们可以存起来也可以花掉。这种方式是否该提倡呢？

Harp¹: Another thing that parents do is they give an allowance².

Maura: Right. Especially for doing chores. So, parents will give their children a certain amount of money per³ week and then it’s their money to do with what they want. So they could save it, or they could spend it. And that’s called an allowance.

Harp: So often times in families, when kids are growing up, when they do their chores, they get an allowance and the amount would depend on the family.

Maura: I probably don’t even know what kids get nowadays⁴ but I would say maybe $20 a week or something?

Harp: I have no idea. I never got an allowance when I was growing up.

Maura: Yeah, me neither.

Harp: It always seemed to be so cool though. On TV I would see in shows that people would get an allowance, and I would imagine the things I would do with money.

Maura: So right, children do chores, sometimes they get allowances⁵, and then they also possibly get into trouble.
