Question 1

Est-ce que tu reçois de l’argent de poche? Qu’est-ce que tu dois faire pour gagner de l’argent de poche?

Do you receive pocket money? What do you have to do to get pocket money?

Answer 1

Oui, je reçois l’argent de poche toutes les semaines de mes parents. Mon père me donne deux livres chaque samedi. A mon avis ce n’est pas assez. Je dois aider à la maison et je fais la vaisselle les soirs et je range ma chambre une fois par semaine.

Yes, I get pocket money every week from my parents. My dad gives me £2 every Saturday. In my opinion, it’s not enough. I have to help at home and do the dishes every night and tidy my room once a week.

Alternative answer

Non, je ne reçois pas d’argent de poche. Mais ce n’est pas un problème car mes parents paient pour tout.

No, I don’t get any pocket money. But it’s not a problem because my parents pay for everything.
