新目标(Go for it)版初中英语八年级下册期末测试卷(二)(含完整音频)
It is difficult for the parents of every family to teach their children to be responsible (有责任的) for housework.
The Shatian School in Shanghai is making its students do housework for their parents. The third graders(三年级学生) must learn how to cook and clean, sixth graders do the laundry(洗衣服) and seventh and eighth graders cook balanced meals with 15 yuan.
Many parents think it's a good way for children to try housework but they don't know how to do it at home. With the following ideas, you really can get your children to help at home.
If you want to make your children think that they can do everything quite right, please don't always scold(批评) if them but give them lots of praise at home. Talk more about what they did right, not about what they didn't do. If your child finishes some difficult work, give him or her a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad as a reward.
Many libraries charge a late fee(费用). If you return a book after a certain date, you pay a fine. But this might be changing. For public libraries, anyway. Some say these fees stop some people from using the library. And the point of libraries is to make books available. So we asked our readers what they think about late fees. Keep them? Or stop them? Here's what two kids bad to say.
☑ Do you use the library?
☑ Have you had to pay for returning a book late?
Fiona Sheehy, 9, NY | Libraries should charge late fees. Do you enjoy the library? You can discover new books there. But you might not get a chance if kids don't return them. Paying a fee will teach kids to be responsible. This will help when they get older and have a job. Some borrowers return books late. The money can be used to make the library a better place. So late fees are a must. |
Aiden Robinson, 10, CA | Libraries should not charge late fees. Some people just need time to finish the book. Late fees at some libraries have reached $50 for a couple of books. Many kids can't afford that, And a late fee doesn't make people more responsible. What works is sending reminders. Or libraries can provide more overnight service for book return. I learned from the news that this helped in Brooklyn, New York. |
