Should children be given pocket money?
Recent years (句子缺少主语）have witnessed that increasing numbers of parents tend to give their children a handsome sum of allowance. In accordance with (in accordance with 不如 according to 恰当，前者太正式了）China Daily, the majority of surveyed people illustrated （illustrated 是更详细的描述，indicated会更好）that children should be given pocket money. Before presenting my view, I will explore both sides of （少了this。没有this 或者the, 读者无法知道你说的是哪一个问题）controversial issue.
Some parents believe that their children can reap a lot of benefits (reap有收获的意思，不适用。可以直接用benefit) from being provided （少了with) pocket money. First of all, having some money can help children foster good habits of saving; if children are disciplined and budget the money accordingly, they will plan the method they want to spend through making a list. （从 “and budget”到句号句子意思不清晰，有重复。)Secondly, parents provide more freedom to their children by giving money, which may help cultivate independence and develop (少了a) sense of responsibility. Last but not the least, because of the pocket money (这里不是指特定的零用钱，所以不用the), children can set goals and struggle with (struggle多是指在困境中挣扎，不适用） those, having more allowance can decrease the number of obstacles in life.（意思表达地不对，这句话读上去像是零花钱能够帮孩子们摆平人生道路上的困难。。。）
On the other hand, there （少了动词 are) still some people contending that children should not be given allowance (这里要么用单数，an allowance；要么用双数，allowances). Firstly, someone (someone 可以指任何人，可这里你谈论的是孩子，所以应该用children) who is focused (is focused 是被动语态，而且语气太肯定了。不是所有的孩子都专心学习的，所以应该用 “should focus”--他们应该专心致志）on school work may not （may not用在这里像是“孩子可能没有零花钱”，应用 should not-- “他们不应该有零花钱） have allowance, for the reason that incorrectly spending ways is simply taking away too much time from studying（句子繁琐反而难以理解，而且单复数混淆。“taking too much time from studying”直接省略为“distract from studying”。“incorrectly”是副词，这里应该用形容词。既然用了复数的“ways”，那后面的动词也该用复数的“are”） namely, it can cut into their studies.(这句的意思与上一句相似，没必要重复。举例更适用，因为你在写论文，在大致描述一个观点之后，要举例来巩固，以及让读者能够更清楚的明白你的意思） Secondly, children are not mature enough so that they are vulnerable to some social evils and may easily go astray. They can not distinguish right or wrong （distinguish...from...是个词组，把什么与什么分清）, the money may be used in （应该用for)playing games, gambling or even drug-taking. Thirdly, it is easy to see (不是能够“简单看到”，而是“普遍”，应该用 it is common for) students comparing (to compare) their allowance in school with others, which may cause psychological problems.
From above discussion, if I am asked to make a choice I would not hesitate to side with the former one. However, the parents should teach their children the money is hard-earned, and then set examples in order to give them moral guidance of how to spend money correctly
词汇量固然重要，可是如果不清楚词语的意思及用法，不适当的用词只会适得其反。而且写论文最重要的是条理清晰，思路明确，句式复杂了反而难懂，让人不明白你真正想表达的意思。再者，还有些语法问题。不过lz已经不错了，而且又很努力，祝你考高分~

Should children be given pocket money?
Over recent years parents have given their children an increasing amount of pocket money. According to the China Daily newspaper, the majority of people surveyed agreed that children should be given pocket money. Before presenting my view, I will explore both sides of this issue.
Some parents believe that their children can benefit from being given pocket money. First of all, having some money can help children foster good habits of saving. If children are disciplined and can budget their money, they can plan how best to spend their money through making a list. Secondly, parents provide more freedom to their children by giving them money, which may help cultivate independence and develop a sense of responsibility. Last but not the least, because of pocket money, children can set goals and work towards achieving their goals, teaching them important life lessons.
On the other hand, there are people contending that children should not be given an allowance. Firstly, a child who is focused on school work should not have allowance, for the reason that money may distract the child from their studies. For example, if a child has money, they might decide to spend it on computer games, going out with their friends or going shopping. Secondly, children are not mature, and may be vulnerable to some social evils and could easily go astray. They are not able to distinguish right from wrong. Their pocket money could be used in playing games, gambling or even drug-taking. Thirdly, children might compare their allowance in school with others, which may cause social and psychological problems.
From above discussion, if I am asked to make a choice I would not hesitate to side with the first argument that children should be given an allowance. However, the parents should teach their children that money is hard-earned, and then set examples in order to give them guidance of how to use their money correctly.
谢谢大家了
