Many kids help parents to do chores in the house． They may take out the trash， walk the dog or sweep the floor． In return， some kids get money or other rewards from their parents， such as 20minutes to play computer games．
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores． One of them is Jane Smith， a parenting educator and family coach． She believes if kids get rewards， they may think that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return． For example， kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty． But they will do it if their parents reward them for it．
"Every house is a team effort，" Jane said． "A home is a living space for everyone in the family． It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean．"
Other people hold different opinions． They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores． It also teaches them real world lessons． They can learn about how we need to work to make money．
Now， there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores． The apps give kids points and digital （电子的） gifts that can be used either online or in life． With the app ChoreMonster， kids earn digital points after doing chores． Kids can exchange their points for real rewards， such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall． "Our goal is to encourage kids so they can earn rewards，" says Joe Black， founder of ChoreMonster． "Kids need positive （积极的） power to make them do chores．"

Yesterday morning when I opened my eyes，it was half past six already. I got up quickly and ran to the bus stop without having breakfast. When I got on the bus，it started raining. “I am sure I can get to the school on time，” I thought. Suddenly， the bus stopped. There was something wrong with the bus. The driver asked us to wait for another one.
“I can’t wait. The school is not far. I can run to school”, I thought. Then I began to run， but it began to rain hard.
I reached the classroom， but I was all wet. The Math teacher， Mr. Li， was in the classroom. We were afraid of him and I didn’t like his Math lessons. I said， “I’m sorry， Mr. Li. I’m late.”
“It’s you again， Wang Bin. I told you not to be late，but you…” He suddenly(突然) stopped and looked at my wet clothes. Then he took off his jacket and gave it to me.
“Now，take off your wet coat and put this one on，” he said kindly.
I went to my seat，wearing Mr. Li’s jacket. It was too big but I felt very warm in it. I found，for the first time，that math class was very interesting，so I learned a lot that day.
