情境2 Mark还了解到不同人针对“是否奖励孩子做家务”有不同的观 点。
Rewarding kids for doing chores is a hot topic(话题).
Some parents don’t think that kids should be given money or gifts for doing housework. An expert thinks that when parents pay their kids for chores ， they are teaching kids that work is only worth doing if they get something in return(作为回报). ▲ A home is a place for everyone in the family ， and it ’s important for kids to understand their responsibilities. Everyone should take part in making decisions about what their homes should look like and taking care of their homes.
On the other hand ， parents believe that if adults get paid for work ， kids should also get paid for doing things around the house. In this way ， they think kids will understand the value of work. Some people believe that giving rewards can encourage kids to do chores and teach them real- life lessons about working for money. There are programs that give kids points or digital(数字的) gifts. They can exchange(兑换) these things for real-world or online rewards. Another expert says ， “We want to teach kids by giving them rewards. Kids need reasons to stay encouraged. ”

情境3 Lucy分享了一个不同的观点 ，她认为做家务也能成为保护地 球的一种方式。
I used to think housework was just necessary work to keep the home clean until I found it could be a useful way to help our Earth.
My journey began by learning how to sort(分类) waste . It was a simple step ， but I found our daily actions could make a difference to the environment. I also encouraged my family to join me. I shared with them the importance of waste sorting. At first ， they thought it was too much trouble ， but later it became a habit for them.
After that ， I found a good way to get rid of(处理) old things around the house . An old shirt could become a table cover ， and useless cups could turn into pretty flower pots. These things made our home special and kept telling us about what we have done for the environment.
Though these actions were small ， they made a big difference. More importantly ， they made us more responsible(负责任的) for the earth and brought us closer as a family.
