I think it's fine for children to get paid for doing housework. It teaches children that they can't get money if they don't work. They can also learn that hard work can be good for them. |

I don't think it's a good idea to give children money for doing housework. Parents should praise them with words but not with money. And l don't think students are old enough to keep lots of money. |

Parents should let their children do housework. It is a good chance(机会)for children to learn to take care of themselves. When children do housework for the whole family. parents can give them some money in return. It helps children learn that good things only come from work. |
Everybody worries. Grown-ups worry and so do kids. But what should you do about it? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these 3 steps to throw them of.
Step 1: Find out the problem
You should find out what your problem is first, and then you can know how to solve it. If it is very difficult to find out what worries you, go to Step 3 and get some help from others.
Step 2: Think of ways
Think of ways to make yourself feel better. For example, how to get good grades at school is a big worry for many students. If it is also your problem, ask yourself these questions: Why are grades important? What do they mean to me? How do I prepare for class? Do I have a good place to do my homework? Have I tried different ways of studying?
You may feel better after thinking about them. If you can't think of anything to make yourself feel better, it is time to jump to Step 3.
Step 3: ▲
Worrying can make you feel lonely. When you're worried, you can ask for help. You don't know if someone can help you until you share your feelings and let the person try to help. Also, if you tell others, you will feel better, and they can think of ways to help you.
My name is Sam. I joined a club called "Passing Help" last month. Now let me tell you why I joined it.
One evening this May, on my way home my old car broke down(出故障). It was 25 miles away from my home. I wanted to get a ride, but there was no car. It was also hard to take a taxi. I decided to take a bus home. I went to a bus stop nearby.
After a while, a bus came, but it did not go to my town. The bus driver was a young woman. She was kind and she told me which bus I should take. I waited there for about thirty minutes, but no bus came. At last a car came to me and a woman came out of the car. She was just the bus driver.
"When I reached the bus station, I heard that the bus to your town couldn't come，so I returned here. I just can't leave you here, "she said." Get in my car and I will take you back to your home."
"It is a long way," I said.
"Come on, sir," she said. "Let's go."
On the way she told me a story. A few days ago, there wasn't gas(汽油) in her car. An old man drove her up to a gas station and then back to her car.
When we got to my home, I wanted to give her some money to thank her, but she didn't accept it. "I only want to help others and do something nice for somebody. Pass it along, "she said.
In the new term, students feel like they study many more hours and relax fewer hours. They always say "I'm busy."Actually, they usually spend only a little time on study or other important things. Most of the time, they do nothing meaningful. They have to think about where the time is going because it can help them find the lost time. Here are some tips.
They should try asking "Is it necessary?" and choose the most important thing to do first. Sometimes they have to give up something.
If they use the Internet five times a day, and for six minutes each time, they spend half an hour every day—that's how long the students should exercise.
Never lose interest. If they study 50 hours a week, and sleep 8 hours a night, they still have 62hours for anything they like. If so, they can do a lot about their interest after they finish their schoolwork.
Every student has his way to spend time.

Don't just talk. Go and act. Getting the right job for yourself is like climbing a ladder. You should do it step by step before you reach the top. You need to get the necessary (train) and experience.

You'll work hard (realize) your dream and may become one of (good) reporters in China one day. Then you will have the chance to go to different places meet different people as part of your job.
We never stop learning. This does not just mean school. fact, your learning started long ago. Many things you did in middle school gave you the talents and (skill) you will use later in your job.
