President Obama has said that he gives each of his seven and ten-year-old daughters just a dollar a week for their chores, such as setting the table, washing dishes, and cleaning up their play /' ɛəriə / 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 /tʃu:z/ 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 /'rekɔ:dz/ 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 around ages 4 or 5, when children start to understand how money works.

Dear Helen,
Thanks for your last letter. Yes, I’m enjoying myself on my exchange program in France. It’s even better than I thought it would be. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be. My host family are really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. And you wouldn’t believe how quickly my French has improved! I’m very comfortable speaking French now. Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesn’t make me worried as it used to. My biggest challenge (挑战) is learning how to behave (表现) at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are really not the same as the way they are at home. For example, you shouldn’t put your bread on your plate. You should put it on the table! I thought that was very strange at first, but now I’m used to it. You shouldn’t eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit! (You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.) Another thing is that it is very rude to say you’re full. If you don’t want any more food, you should just say, “It was delicious.” Also, it’s rude to put your hands in your lap. You should always keep your hands, but not your elbows (肘部), on the table. I have to say, I find it difficult to remember everything, but I’m gradually getting used to things and don’t find them so strange any more.
I’ll write soon and tell you more about life in France. Hope you’re having a good school year.
Yours,
Li Ying
