My mother comes up to my room and tells me that my father has got a new job. That¡¯s why we¡¯re moving. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to know where we¡¯re going?¡± she asks. ¡°Not really,¡± I say. She tells me anyway. I pretend not to listen.

Every day my parents tell me something about the town that will become our new home. There is a statue (µñËÜ) honoring hero, a strawberry festival every year and the mayor(Êг¤) used to be a professional football player. There are oak trees in our new neighborhood, just like the one on our yard. Pictures of these begin to fill in my mind. I start wondering what it might be like to live in such a town. On the day before we leave, I walk in the direction as if I were going to school. When I see the tiny old lady, I tell her goodbye, and she tells me to carry an umbrella when it rains. Her tiny dog holds out a tiny paw to shake my hand. The man at the newspaper store shakes my hand, too. The twins wave to me as they get on the bus. I go home, walking slowly through streets lined with oak trees.

A large truck is parked in front of our house. The movers are carrying boxes while my parents are putting suitcases into our car. Soon our house will be empty, but not for long. I know that somewhere there are parents telling their children about a new town filled with oak trees, a place where they will meet nice people.

Many kids help parents to do chores such as washing the dishes, cleaning the floors and taking out the trash in the house. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards(½±ÉÍ) for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator. She believes that if kids get rewards, they will 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 clean the floor if their parents reward them for it. ¡°Every house is a team effort,¡± Susie said. ¡°A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It¡¯s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities to keep our home clean.

Other people have different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards can motivate kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. Now, there are also apps(Ó¦ÓÃÈí¼þ) that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital gifts that can be used either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, 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 to earn rewards," says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. ¡°Kids need positive(»ý¼«µÄ) power to make them do chores.

What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?
