Essay - Should teenagers earn their pocket money?

Nearly every teenager get pocket money, but some of them have to work for it, for example help in the houshold. And I do not think that they should complain about when they have to do a little fork for their pocket money. I think this is a matter of course.

When children and teenagers learn early that they have to do something for their money, their future would be much more easier. Teenagers should understand that adults do not sit on the couch, watching TV and get money for doing nothing. Only when you work, you get money to survive in life.

I also would argue that when teenagers earn their money they will begin to value their money. They would not spend it for unnecessary things which they only buy because it looks sweet or cool, but they do not really need it. I think working is a good motivation to save the money for something they really want, for a example a computer game or a trip to Disneyland.

To sum up it is no big deal to give a hand in the household for money. Sure, if someone has to learn for school the parents would understand that. School is the most important thing, the mainwork for teenagers.

Why I'm a fan of modern technology

Do you have a mobile phone and a computer at home? Can you imagine a live without these things? I don't and I think that modern technology is great!

Let's take mobile phones for example. Nowaday everyone has one. Isn't it a nice thing, when you're bored while travelling with the train and you can take out your mobile and sending short messages or speaking with your friends and also listening to music? I do this very often and love it to spending my time with it.

Nearly everybody has a computer at home which is connected to the internet. You can chat and play with people all over the world, making friends and learning languages. Elder people would say that you can't learn languages reasonable through the internet, but I don't think so. My spanish, for example, becomes better and better because of chatting with a girl from Spain.

Modern technology is a good thing to get knowledge about things, which you are interested in, very fast. So it doesn't destroy your way of life like other people say.

Correction of the 1st Test

The Hans Brinker Hotel is a small building in Edward Street, near the center of Brighton. It's not far away from the sea.

The hotel doesn't look very luxurious and a little bit cold and old. There are about 100 rooms, which are very small and the facilities disappointed me a little bit. The bed was hard and uncomfortable and there's no bathroom, but a little washbasin.
All the furnitur is such narrow that you can't move around freely.

But the service was good. The people there were nice and friendly and also ready to bring a cup of hot chocolate oder a cup of tea for you at 3 o'clock in the morning.
The breakfast was also ok, but I looked into the kitchen and it looked awful. Everywhere there was dump and it was very unhygienic.

It's no place fpr a holiday with the family. But if there's a class who would love to make a school trip to Brighton, it's the right hotel for them. It isn't too expensive and the location is also good I think.
