A famous person has said that he gives each of his twin daughters just a dollar a week for their chores, such as setting the table, washing dishes, and cleaning up their play area and bedrooms.
People have different opinions about paying little kids for doing chores or just giving money to them. Some families think that everyone in the family should do housework, and that kids shouldn’t be paid for doing so. The supporters (支持者), however, believe that kids should get paid, and that the money they get will help kids learn important skills of how to use it. But for those who choose to give the money, it can be a headache deciding on how much they should give, especially in these difficult economic (经济的) times. A good idea is that you can keep records of how much you spend on your child daily for two weeks and then decide how much you should give according to the average (平均的) daily amount. Kids can start receiving money at around age 4 or 5, when children start to understand how money works.

Do you always do some special things for your father? Father’s Day falls on the third Sunday in June every year. It’s a special day celebrated worldwide to show love for fathers. Since the old times in China, Chinese people have respected (尊敬) fathers a lot. For many people, fathers are usually brave, strict and great.
