　　M: Yes, I don’t understand that at all。

　　W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?

　　M: I don’t know. I think I’ll probably give them 2 pounds a week。

　　W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?

　　M: Well, out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn’t expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example。

　　W: Yes, by the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?

　　M: Yeah, they do。

　　Q24 What do we learn from the conversat
ion about British children’s pocket money?
