Younger people in the UK talk about their finances more freely. Ask students to discuss in pairs how much pocket money they get each month and during the Spring Festival. Exercise 2 Ask students whether they spend or save their monthly pocket money and their money for the Spring Festival. Students discuss in pairs what things they spend their money on. Ask them to add things to the Key Words if there are any. Ask some students to report about their partners. But before that, they had better ask for permission from their partners. Elicit as many things as possible from students that they would like to add to the Key Words.Language Power: the Word Corner on page 59 practises vocabulary from the text.
