Chores were not popular at my house. My children didn’t like to do chores. They always saw me do chores, but they hardly ever helped me do them.
A year ago, I made a game called “The Endless Chore Game”. It is really great. Here’s how the game works.
I made a card with forty squares(方框), and I write a different chore on each square. These chores can be easy and interesting like making dessert. Then my family rolls the dice(骰子) to decide what chores we have to do. The card also has a few squares with fun things, like watching TV and singing. If you are lucky, you can watch TV when the others are doing the chores.
My son likes the game very much. He goes to the kitchen happily every morning to do the game. It is really a good way to make my children do chores. You can have a try if you have the same problem with me.

There are many simple things we can do to save water.

●Take a shower instead of filling up a bathtub(浴缸). 3.
To save even more water, keep your shower under five minutes long--try timing yourself with a clock next time!
●Fix the leak(裂缝). 4.. That would be like flushing(冲洗) your toilet more than 50 times for no reason!
●Water your yard in a clever way.The best time to water your yard is in the early morning or late evening when it’s cool outside. Also, when you’re helping your parents water the yard, make sure not to water the plants too much---remember that a little sprinkle(洒) goes a long way!
●Who needs a hose(橡皮软管)? 5.. A hose can waste 6 gallons per minute if you leave it running, but using a bucket and sponge only uses a few gallons!
A. If your toilet has a leak, you could be wasting about 200 gallons of water every day.
B. The same is true when you wash dishes.
C. Washing your bike or car with a bucket and sponge instead of a hose saves a lot of water.
