Fewer parents can hear the words “What can I do to help ” from their kids. Teenagers spend more time on video games, computers and cell phones, so they help less with housework.
Few parents think games can let their kids be away from the sofa—much less encourage (鼓励) them to do chores. But some new chore apps really succeed in doing so.
You Rule Chores is one of the apps. Mrs. Wise says the app makes her three children compete to see who can do more housework. They help their mom do the laundry, walk the dog and clean the dishes. Each child chooses one of the app’s avatars (替身角色), which include a pink kitty, a robot scientist and a policeman. Each time they finish a job, their avatars will be able to get new skills. And the more housework they do, the more app coins they can get. They can use the coins to watch their favorite videos and buy something on the Internet. “It’s fun,” says one of Mrs. Wise’s children.
51．How many kids does Mrs. Wise have
52．What is You Rule Chores

54．What will happen after the children finish a job

Each child chooses one of the app’s avatars (替身角色), which include a pink kitty, a robot scientist and a policeman. Each time they finish a job, their avatars will be able to get new skills.
