Do you like doing chores? Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed and folding the clothes. In exchange（交换）, they may get some money or computer time. 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 adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework. 

But some people don't think kids should get rewards（奖励）for doing housework Susie Walton, an expert believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth（值得）doing unless you get something in return. "Doing any kind of housework is a team effort," Walton said "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that all families need to make decisions about how they want their home to look, 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 on their own, and that it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. Some groups invented an app that records kids' points and these points can be used to redeem（兑现）some gifs either online or in the real world. "Our goal is to help kids do their par and then they can get rewards," says Chris Bergman. "And kids need rewards to help encourage them."

Chinese is getting mare and more popular, so the UK government plans to invest（投资） 10 million pounds to help more kids lean Chinese Do you think it is necessary for the UK pupils to learn Chinese? 

Seneca （Canada）

I studied French for 2 years in high school, and German for 4 years in college and got good marks. I studied Chinese for about 4 months before moving to China. For any language, if you don't use it, it will be easy to lose it I've forgotten the French l leaned except for a few phrases. I speak Chinese every day. My writing, reading and listening are quite good, but far from fluent. I think it's necessary to learn Chinese. 

Tony（the UK）

Learning any language can be valuable, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn, and teachers in the UK are not good at teaching foreign languages. However, China is a big and developing market for English businesspeople. For them, Chinese is worth learning. 

Bill（the US）

I don't think Chinese will replace（取代）English. Chinese is difficult to learn. To learn Chinese, you have to learn how to write and read it carefully. In the future, Chinese will become more popular, so I think learning Chinese is a good thing. 

    Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.

    In fact happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them you can see that happiness is always around you.

    Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy because you have more chances to challenge yourselves. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. If you take every chance you get, you will be a happy and lucky person.
