Dear Tom,
I’m sorry to know you have trouble managing your pocket money. Here are some practical suggestions for you.
First, you can spend some money on things you like to enjoy yourself. Besides, remember to set aside some money for future use. If possible, you can also give a little money to help people in need, which brings you happiness.
Learning to manage money helps you become more independent.
Hope my advice will be helpful to you.
Yours,

2. 参考范文:
Dear teachers and fellow students,
Good morning! How teenagers deal with money matters a lot. As we have learned from the text, money means more than just buying goods.
Khloe Thompson made good use of her pocket money to make “Kare Bags” for homeless people. Inspired by the four‑jar method, we should not only spend money properly for our happiness, but also save for the future and invest in ourselves. Meanwhile, we are supposed to give a hand to people in need if we can.
Money itself is not valuable. Its true value lies in how we use it. Let us form good money‑management habits.
Thank you!
