I believe children must be given pocket money. Children
feel proud and rewarded if they get pocket money for being helpful by doing chores.
Firstly, children can buy their own lunches or some
after school snacks. Children are sometimes hungry after school and sometimes
they can just walk to a nearby food court with an adult and buy their own food
with some friends.
Another reason is when parents give pocket money to
children, they can buy something and get practice with money maths. Money math
is very important in life, this is very helpful for children with their money
maths.
In addition, children can learn to save by not spending all their pocket money. They
can put the money in a piggy bank at home and also can have a clue what banking
is like. Research shows that banking is very complicated and this will help
them understand banking.
Therefore I believe children should get pocket money.
I recommend getting pocket money is just a new beginning for children!

Week 10 Expositions. Well done to those students who are working hard on expositions.
Children Should Get Pocket Money
Text type: Exposition
Purpose: to argue a case
Audience: Year 3 and visitors
I strongly believe that children need to receive money. There are many advantages for pocket money. Firstly, children just need to do some chores and then they get about 50c, $1 or $2. When you save up like $10 or more you can buy toys with your own money. Research shows that if children do chores they can get money and when they save up they can buy something for themselves.
Another reason is if you save up your money you can learn to bank and save your money.
In addition, if you save up you can buy something yourself so your mum doesn’t need to angry because you needed her money.
Therefore I believe that children should receive pocket money when they are young.

More great expositions. Please read and comment.
Text Type: Exposition
Purpose: To argue a case
Audience: Year 3 and visitors
Adopting A Pet From The Pound
Adopting a pet from an animal shelter has many advantages.
The RSPCA will give the dogs an injection to be put to sleep, if they don’t have any owners.
When you adopt a pet you are already getting an animal that has been trained. When dogs are trained they can protect your home when you are out somewhere.
Adopting a pet from the pound costs less than buying a new one from the pet shop. Having a pet from the pound is a good thing as children will have a mate to play with.
Therefore adopting a pet is a good thing to do as you will save its life while also finding a new friend to play with. I’m sure you will be happier if you do.

Text type: Exposition
Purpose: To argue a case – to persuade
Audience: Year 3 and visitors
Children in Primary School Need Computers
Computers are used in most schools and homes. I strongly believe that primary school students need to learn to use computers from kindergarten.
Firstly, computers can help us with homework and research. The internet can help you find information.
Another reason is children need to learn typing because this important skill can train your fingers to type quickly and accurately. It is a well – known fact that typing is much neater and adds to the presentation of a child’s work.
In addition, computers can help us communicate to the friends and families, (e.g. Skype and Email) these are better than writing a letter needs about thirty minutes but with email you just type and Skype right away email and skyping on the computers is definitely easier to use communicate.
Therefore computers can help children research information, typing and communicate, well so they can be ready for high school.
By Gary
ADOPTING A PET FROM THE POUND
Adopting a pet from the pound or an animal shelter is an excellent idea for anyone who wants a pet. It will make you happy!
At a pet shop it will cost you up to $1 500 to buy a pet. Who would want to pay that much money? At the pound they are much cheaper.
Secondly, you don’t have to worry about cleaning up their mess, their crying at night or them chewing your clothes because they are older. A puppy from a pet shop is much harder to take care of.
Most importantly, pets are taken to the pound when people do not want them anymore. If no one takes them, they will get put to sleep. Do you want that to happen?
If you don’t want that to happen and you need a pet that’s cheap and easy to look after, then adopting a pet from the pound or an animal shelter is the best thing for you to do.
