Instruction: Please propose an argument to convince my mother that she increases the amount of money that I get every month during my studies. I think the current amount is too low.

Response: Dear Mum, I would like to talk to you about the monthly money I get for my studies. I am very grateful that you support me financially during my studies. At the same time, I feel that the current amount is a little bit too low in order to sustain myself. I estimated my monthly expenses and it seems like the money is not enough. We can go through the details if you want. I want to ask you if you can increase the amount so that I can cover my expenses. I understand if you cannot do this or have other reasons against this. However, I want you to know that if you do not increase my monthly money, I will be forced to work part-time next to my studies. There is research that shows that students who work part-time have worse grades than people who do not have to work part-time to afford their studies. I would love to dedicate my full time to my studies to get the best grades and learning outcomes possible; thus, I would prefer not to work part-time. What do you think?
