Given the question "When can Lily have more pocket money?" and the answer "When she is mature in her mum's eyes.", write a conversation that might have happened.


M: Are you OK, Lily? You don't look very happy.

W: Oh, David. I had an argument with mum again. I'm not getting enough pocket money.

M: How much do you get?

W: Five pounds a week.

M: That sounds reasonable to me.

W: Well, I'm 14 and if you are going to town shopping, you can never have enough money. Everything is so expensive.

M: But is it fair amount of money? Compare what your friends get.

W: Well, we all get the same. But I have to buy all my music things as well things for school and have hardly anything left to spend on clothes.

M: Right. Do you have to help around house?

W: Not really.

M: So you don't have to do anything for this pocket money.

W: Mum said if I did that I will never have time to do my school work.

M: Has she said you can have more pocket money when you are 15?

W: Well, Mum just says she'll decide when I'm ready to have more. And I've just got to wait.

M: Maybe you should sit down with her and say "How can I prove that I am old enough to get more?"

W: So, I should talk to her again.

M: Yes, but don't argue with her. Just discuss it calmly.

W: OK, thanks.
