Young kids only do easy chores. So they don’ t get much money. But that’ s enough. Many of them only want to buy candy. And candy is cheap! They often help do the dishes, sweep the floor, or feed the pet cat or dog.

When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. So they have to work harder! They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals.

Some jobs are a good way for kids to learn new things. For example, they can learn how to use a lawnmower (割草机) or how to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first.

Have you seen people carrying rubbish bags while jogging? Or their hands filled with old plastic bottles? You might soon. Sweden's latest fitness craze(狂热)-plogging-is making its way to the whole world.

What is plogging? It is a new word made up of part of "jogging" and part of the Swedish words "plocka upp(pick up)", which means picking up rubbish while jogging. By plogging joggers will keep fit and save the world at the same time.

It all began when a Swedish man, Erik Ahlstrom, moved to Stockholm two years ago. This capital city left Erik a strong idea: "It looks like a dump(垃圾场)." His way to make a change is pretty outside the box: he invited groups of joggers-armed with(用……装备)rubbish bags and gloves-to jog through the city and pick up rubbish. Amazingly, it has turned popular and people share photos of the rubbish they collected on the Internet.

It is said that a half-hour of plogging burns about 288 calories(卡路里),while only jogging burns 235 calories. Some parents go plogging with their children at weekends. "It is the best family education. My child learns the idea of environmental protection by plogging. She is only 6," said a father. And a company called Vivobarefoot now will give out a pair of shoes in exchange for 17 plastic bottles.

Plogging is well accepted in many other countries. There are plogging groups in Germany, Australia and the US. In China, it's starting to go popular among exercisers who want to make a difference.
