1
Pocket money.
2
1. Do all teenagers get pocket money?
3
Most teenagers receive pocket money every week.
4
But not everyone gets the same amount of money.
5
Have you asked your friends how much they get?
6
You might be surprised.
7
And if you're a girl, you'll be amazed to learn that boys often get more than girls of the same age.
8
2. So what happens in different countries?
9
Teenagers up to the age of about 15 in the UK have about £5 a week in pocket money.
10
But in Italy, France and Spain, the same age group gets about 9 euros, which is a bit more.
11
In the US, pocket money is called an allowance.
12
Most teenagers get an allowance of about $30, which is more than £20 or €25.
13
3. Do teens have to work for their pocket money?
14
Quite a lot of teenagers do.
15
They have to do things in the house, like washing up and cleaning, and then they get their pocket money.
16
If they don't do the jobs, they don't get the money.
17
Some teenagers have part-time jobs too, which means they have more than their pocket money to spend each week.
18
4. What do teenagers spend their money on?
19
You might be surprised at the answer.
20
Teenagers in the UK spend more of their money on food than on clothes.
21
Is that true for you too?
22
Teens do more shopping online than before, and online clothes shopping is cheaper.
23
So perhaps this is one reason they don't spend so much on clothes.
24
5. Do parents tell teens what to spend pocket money on?
25
Some parents do.
26
They only let them buy some things.
27
Other parents want their teens to save all their pocket money and spend it on something big in the future, or not spend it at all.

Sobre esta lección

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
