体裁:议论文
难度:★★★★★
Many kids do housework,such as doing the dishes,making the bed and folding the clothes. They get some money or computer time by doing so.
Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics,especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since(既然) adults make money by doing their jobs,we should pay kids for everyday housework.
But some people don't think kids should get rewards for doing housework. Susie Walton,an expert,believes that by rewarding kids,parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something
in return. “Running any kind of housework is a team effort,” Walton says. “The home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house,and that family decide how their home looks and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”
Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework,and that it also teaches them real-world lessons about how to get money. There are also apps that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑换) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful(合法的) power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to encourage them.”
