5 Read the text an d answer the questions .
How much pocket money do teenagers get every week? Too much is what man y older people think, but is this true? Do they get too much money? Or don' t they get enough? These were some of the questions that a recent survey wanted to answer. In the survey, they asked the question, 'How much money do you r parents give you every week?' The answers were surprising . I t seems that allowances rise with age, with 13-year-olds getting an average
of 20 a month , 16-year-olds getting 20 more than that, an d 18-year-olds getting 80, a further
40 more than 16-year-olds. This means that the average British teenager now gets 520 a year in
pocket money. Pocket money levels in Britain are now 50% higher than they were 20 years ago.
However, in the survey a lot of teenagers said that it wasn't fair to call the money they get 'pocket
money'. They said that most teenagers earn their money by doing jobs about the house. A lot of
teenagers tidy rooms or wash dishes. Moreover, over 60% of the surveyed teenagers, including a
third of those under 16, also had some sort of paid employment. The under-16s do gardening , wash cars, deliver newspapers an d walk dogs, while those over 1 6 do babysitting , or work in shops or restaurants. So, finally, where does al l the money go? Well, teenagers spend more money on beauty products than on anything else. They also spend money socializing, an d save money to buy thing s like MP3 players, mobile phones and laptops.
