Sometimes parents wonder if they should give their kids some housework or not. In some parents’ eyes, kids needn’t do housework. After all, it’ll be a long time for kids to do it after they grow up.
Most kids seem to be busy all the time. They have little time to do the cleaning or make the bed. However, it’s important to teach your kids to do some easy housework. It will be useful in the future life.
When kids start going to school, you can ask them to do some simple things at home. For example, teach your kids to put away their shoes and schoolbags. Then you can give more jobs to them. As the jobs become more difficult, you can teach your kids slowly how to finish each of them. For example, when kids do the dishes, tell them how to make the plates clean. It’s common that kids can’t do everything very well at their first try. Just let them practice more, and they will do the jobs better and better.

2 . Do you have a pet? Many children like pets and even treat (对待) them like humans sometimes. They like to kiss or hug (拥抱) their pets. But this can make them ill (生病的), according to Daily Mail.
Kissing or hugging pets such as dogs and cats can expose (使接触) people to drug-resistant bacteria (耐药细菌), British scientists said.
Many pet owners (主人) give their pets antibiotics (抗生素) when they get ill. But taking antibiotics too often can affect the bacteria inside your pet. The bacteria can become drug-resistant. When people kiss or hug their pets, this kind of bacteria can move to them and make them ill.
Close relationships between pet owners and their pets are important. But if pet owners follow the rules below, they will not get ill.
Rules for playing
● Do not kiss your pets on the mouth.
● Do not let your pets touch your mouth or nose.
● Wash your hands after touching or playing with your pets.
● If you have a wound (伤口), cover it. This way, bacteria cannot pass on to you from your pet.
