2
Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance.
3
The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
4
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family.
5
Timing is another consideration.
6
Some children get a weekly allowance.
7
Others get a monthly allowance.
8
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money.
9
At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it.
10
If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget.
11
Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
12
The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.
13
Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.
14
Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say
15
it is not a good idea to You pay your child for work around the home.
16
These jobs are a normal part of family life.
17
Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful.
18
It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
19
Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they can do with money.
20
They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause.
21
They can spend it by buying things they want.
22
or they can save and maybe even invest it.
23
Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice.
24
You have to cut costs and plan for the future.
25
Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing.
26
Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance.
27
A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.
28
Compounding works by paying interest on interest.
29
So, for example, $1 invested at 2% interest for two years will earn $0.02 in the first year.
30
The second year, the money will earn 2% of $1.02, and so on.
31
That may not seem like a lot, but over time, it adds up.

练习技巧
为了提高英语发音，学习者可以在收听本视频时进行shadowing练习。选择视频中的短句，尝试模仿讲解者的语调和节奏，尤其注意其语速。由于本视频的语速适中，非常适合学习者进行shadow speech练习。在模仿的过程中，建议放慢语速并反复倾听，确保能够准确掌握每一个单词的发音。结合使用shadowspeak或shadowspeaks等技术，可以帮助强化记忆，加深对词汇的理解。在整个练习中，努力关注词汇的正确发音和语调，这样能够有效提高提高英语发音的能力，加强语言表达的自然性。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
