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 is how the game works.

I made a card with forty squares (方框), and I write a different chore on each square. There 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. There are also a few squares with fun things, like watching TV. If you are lucky, you can watch TV while the others are doing chores.

My sons 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 they same problem with me.

A Chinese tourist has died in Hong Kong a day after being beaten up during a so-called "forced shopping" tour. Businessmen try to make money by forcing tourists to buy goods at some stores. Police said the dead, 54, tried to quiet a tourist and a tour guide after the tourist decided not to buy anything at a shop. At least four people have been arrested. The dead, from north-east China, was found lying cold outside the shop in Kowloon on Monday morning. He tried to make peace in a fight between two women -- believed to be the tour leader and one of the tourists, but a group of men pulled them onto the street and beat them, police said. The two women, aged 32 and 53, have been arrested, along with two men, one a 44-year-old Hong Kong and the other a 32-year-old mainlander. Police say they are still searching for two other suspects.
