In some western countries, many children do chores (家务) to get pocket money. They usually start to do this when they are ten years old.
School students have to do homework and study for tests. They don’t have much free time on weekdays. They often do chores on weekends.
Young kids only do easy chores. So they don’t get much money. But that’s enough. Many of them only want to buy candy. And candy is cheap! They often help do the dishes, sweep the floor, or feed the pet cat or dog.
When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. So they have to work harder! They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals.
Some jobs are a good way for kids to learn new things. For example, they can learn how to use a lawnmower ( 割草机) or how to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first.How do many children get pocket money in some Western countries?

Dear Peter
How about your study? It’s Sunday today. I’m writing a letter to you. I’m going to tell you something in Beijing.
Beijing is different from London. In our country, we drive on the left side of the road, but here people drive on the right side. Most people go to work by bus or by bike. The rush hours are from seven to nine in the morning and five to seven in the afternoon. People in China work around eight hours a day, five days a week. They usually begin to work at eight in the morning, and rest on Saturday and Sunday.
I have Chinese classes every morning from Monday to Friday. The students in our class are from many countries. We’re all working hard and friendly to each other. The Chinese students are ready to help us with our Chinese. We also help them a lot with their English. We are getting along very well.
That’s all for today. Please write to me soon.

Dear sir
I’m a middle school student. I have something to talk with you. In my school, many students have mobile phones（手机）.They think it’s cool to have a mobile phone. Really the phones come in fun colours and let students talk with their parents and friends at any time. But I don’t think it’s good to send messages（短信）.It takes them a lot of time to do that. Some students always hope to buy the latest mobile phones and this will waste（浪费）their parents’ money. And my father tells me that most mobile phones can cause health problems. Could you do something to stop it?
