My persuasive writing

Why kids Should Get More Pocket Money.

Dear Mum and Dad

$5 a week its not enough I think that kids should get at least $15 a week because if we don’t we will be begging you all through the week for more money because we don’t get enough pocket money.

If we get $15 dollars a week I think that kids could save $5 a week and then have $10 dollars to spend during the week and also if you think about it if we do the ironing, the dishes, the washing, wash the car, feed the pets, and loads more its not worth $5 its at LEAST worth $10.

I get only get $5 and it is not enough and as I have said before I am always begging for money from my mum and dad to get extra things like sweets and magazines.

To make sure that you do your jobs you could keep a chart and put a sticker or a tick or something every time you do a job and say if you get over 30 stickers you get your full allowance but if you get say under 30 you don’t get your full allowance. So you make sure you don’t get your money for nothing.

If we $15 it would be better off for you because we could buy our own clothes because we would be building up money every week it would teach us the value of money and you wouldn’t get a dent in your wallet every time we ask for money.

So as I am telling you why don’t you just save the hassle and give your child more pocket money.
