三、阅读理解
How can parents make their kids get into the habit of doing their chores? Try making chores fun for them.
Play some music
Music makes everything seem like a party, doesn't it? Play your kids' favourite music and let them dance around while they are doing their chores.
Make it a treasure hunt (寻宝)
It's a good way when you would like your kids to clean the house. Let them know that you hide (隐藏) a small gift in some place. If they find it, they can keep it.
Change often
If kids keep doing the same chores for months, they may feel bored. Teaching them a new task (任务) is fun for both you and the kids. They will feel more grown-up when they get a new task.
Do it together
It's never fun to be the only one working while watching everyone else relax. If everyone takes part in doing chores, you will finish them faster and have more fun.
Remember not to be a perfectionist (完美主义者). When kids don't do a chore very well, just change it into a teaching moment and kindly show them the correct way.
