Is there anyone who likes to do chores(家务话)？Should
children help out around the house For some children,doing
chores may be the last thing they want to do.And for many par
ents.getting their children to help out around the house ean be
a real headache,But one Malaysian(马来西亚)mother found a
creative way.
Nurafiza is the mother of two sons.She came up a reward system(奖励体系)for her
sons at home.She made a list of chores for her children and gave them money for each task
they had completed.The list of chores included cleaning up the house and putting away
their toys for RM50 each,studying for RM150,and even not fighting with each other for
RM10 to RM15.When her boys had trouble sleeping,she rewarded them with RM50 for
going to bed.Murafiza also opened a "mini-mart"at home for her children to spend the
money in.Her three-year-old and six year-old sons could buy snacks from her mini-mart
which was open from 10am to 8pm.The money she gave to her children was not real mon-

Dear Mark,
I’m glad to hear that you are interested in Chinese culture. I’d like share some great wonders, great people and great inventions to you.
The Great Wall is a symbol of China and it’s also one of the great wonders in the world. It’s about 21,196 kilometers long. Thousands of people visit it every year. The Terracotta Army is another great wonder in China. It’s in Xi’an and it has a history of more than 2,000 years.
Confucius is the greatest teacher and thinker in China. He taught many famous students in Chinese history and his ideas are still influenced us a lot. Now we still remember his ideas, such as learning without thinking is useless and thinking without learning is dangerous.
There are four great inventions in China. I think the most useful is papermaking. It was invented about 2,000 years ago. After its invention, people started writing on paper to make books. And more and more people can learn.
I hope this brief introduction can give you a better understanding of Chinese culture. If you have any question, please ask me. I’m looking forward to discussing more interesting topics with you.
Best regards,
Li Hua
