Most kids hate doing housework. However, not all hope is lost. There are some things that you can do to get your kids to help you clean your house. If you are struggling with the chores (家務)and need your kids to help you, take a look at some of the creative ways in this article.
If you are dealing with older kids, you may want to try the allowance deal. You can give your kids a list of chores that need to be done each week. If they complete these chores, you can give them some money. You can also break the list down and tell them they will get so much for each chore that is finished. Older kids , who like to do things on weekends or buy things like video games, will work hard to complete their chores and earn their money. This is also teaching them responsibility. This is teaching them that they must work for what they want.
If you are dealing with younger kids, you may want to go with the rewards chart(獎勵圖表). This is where you design a chart and list their chores on the chart. For each chore they complete, you can put a red flower beside it. For the rewards, you canalso do a number of things ,such as going to the park, going out to eat, buying a DVD or something similar. The rewards would be up to you because you know what your kids like.
For real small kids, you can turn it into a game. When kids were much younger, you can teach them to dance around and sing as you cleaned. The kids loved it and would do a wonderful job at picking up their toys. So, consider turning cleaning into a game for the real small kids.
【小題1】What does the underlined word “allowance” in Paraph 2 mean ?

A.Good words given by parentsB.Business that needs studying
C.Explanation of responsibilityD.Small change given by parents
【小題2】Why can we put a red flower beside the chore on a chart?
A.To know what your kids like.
B.To know how many chores the kids have done.
C.To encourage younger kids to do more chores.
D.To go out to eat or do something similar they like.
【小題3】 What can we know from this article?
A.Kids should help parents do more chores.
B.Parents should teach kids how to do housework.
C.The more chores kids do, the more they love their parents.
D.Creative methods can be helpful for parents to get their kids to do housework.


【小題1】D
【小題2】C
【小題3】D

Making mistakes
It’s good to make mistakes.And here’s why.
First of a11.mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things.It’s always good to try new things because when you’re trying new things you are growing.If you never try anything new,how can you improve and develop?The simple answer is,“You can’t.”

Finally,when you make a mistake,you are much closer to success.Why?Because every time you make a mistake,you are one step closer to success.But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking.Instead,when you try something new,you have to think it over,so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.

The father’s role in the family is important. One researcher says babies who are cared for by their fathers have greater cognitive (認知的) development at one year of age than babies not cared for by their fathers. Another researcher reports that by spending time with their pre-school children, fathers can help to develop children’s language ability. Researchers also point out that for school-age children, fathers are one bridge with the outside world.
Fathers who value (重視) education have children who do better in school than those children whose fathers don’t value education. What’s more, fathers who spend quality time with their children may give their children happy memories which may last a lifetime.
While each father is a unique person who educates children in his own style, good fathers have something in common.
Good fathers attend their children’s school activities. They also involve the children in their lives and the adult world by taking them to see the workplace, or by taking them when the car needs to be repaired, etc.
Good fathers expect a great deal from their children, but also accept and support the unique individuals (個體) that their children are becoming.
Good fathers prefer explanations and reasoning to force.
Good fathers know their time with children is really an investment (投資) in them.
