在家中做家务活时，你会向父母索要报酬吗？来看看同龄人的观点，并说说你的想法。
Do you get paid for doing housework? Does it sound like a good idea? Listen to what some students say.
I don’t have much time for housework because of study. But I still try to help out. My parents “pay” me with kind words. This makes me feel so good. I always want to do more the next time.

When I was little, I helped with the cleaning. Now I’m quite busy studying but I still help with the housework on weekends. My parents would “pay” me with a pat (轻拍) on the head. That was enough for me. I never thought about getting money. Why should I get paid for housework? Who pays my parents?

I used to be very hard-working at home when I had time. I did everything there was to do. But I didn’t ask for pay. I never thought about it. Now I would make a deal with my parents. I’d make sure I got paid for my work. Kids need to earn a little money, don’t they?

Your opinion:
I usually help my parents with housework, but I don't
expect to get paid. My parents always say "thank you" when I clean my room or help with the dishes, and that makes me feel happy.
It's not about money for me, I just want to help my family.
答案
One possible version: I usually help my parents with housework, but I don't expect to get paid. My parents always say "thank you" when I clean my room or help with the dishes, and that makes me feel happy. It's not about money for me, I just want to help my family.
