Half of the American students’ pocket money is from their parents, 35% from part－time jobs and 15% from scholarships, while the Chinese students get 90% of their pocket money from their parents and only 10% from part－time jobs and scholarships.It seems that there are two reasons for this difference. One is that the American students have more opportunities to do part－time jobs or get scholarships and the other is that the Chinese students have little time to do part－time jobs.
