ziq的ScalersTalk第四轮新概念朗读持续力训练DAY1

练习材料： L15-1：Fifty pence worth of trouble 时长：58s

Children always appreciate small gifts of money.

Mum or dad, of course, provide a regular supply of pocket money, but uncles and aunts are always a source of extra income. With some children, small sums go a long way.

If 50 pence pieces are not exchanged for sweets, they rattle for months inside money boxes.

Only very thrifty children manage to fill up a money box. For most of them, 50 pence is a small price to pay for a nice big bar of chocolate.

My nephew, George, has a money box but it is always empty. Very few of the 50 pence pieces and pound coins I have given him have found their way there.

I gave him 50 pence yesterday and advised him to save it. Instead he bought himself 50 pence worth of trouble.
