In Western countries,many children do chores to get money. They usually start to do this at the age of 10.
School students have to do homework and study for exams. They don't have free time from Monday to Friday. So they do chores only on weekends.
Younger kids only do easy chores. So they don't get much money.
But that OK. Many of them only want to buy candy. And candy is cheap!They help do the dishes after dinner,and feed the family cat or dog.
When they get older,kids want to buy more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. Then they have to work harder!They often wash the family car,cut the grass,walk the dog or cook dinner.
Doing chores is a good way for kids to learn new things. For example,they can learn how to cut grass or how to cook. Of course,their parents help them at first.
