1 . Here are a few ways to motivate (激发) children to do chores.

    1     Children always watch their parents and learn how to act from them, so the parents must set a good example and take chores seriously. This motivates children to do chores, too.

Decide what kinds of chores children do. For younger children, give them easy work, like putting away their toys.    2    .

Tell children about the importance of doing chores.     3    Knowing the importance of the chores helps to motivate children to do them.

    4     When children finish the chores on the list, parents can reward them by giving them a prize. A chore list also gives children a sense of pride when they finish all their chores.

Give children some money to do more chores.    5     But it is not the best way. It's best to make children feel that doing chores is the work that they should do.

A．Set good examples in the family.

B．Make a list of chores for children.

C．Make children do chores unhappily.

D．Ask children to do all kinds of chores.

E．Giving money for more chores can also work.

F．As the children get older, make them do more difficult chores.

G．Discuss the importance of doing chores and how they help the whole family.

3 . Dumplings are traditional Chinese food. On the lunar New Year’s Day, most families make a lot of delicious dumplings. To make them, we can follow these easy steps.

The first step is to mix the flour with water. When the dough (面团) is ready, we can begin to make dumpling wrappers. We roll the dough into small, thin and round pieces so that they can be easy to cook. Then it’s time to prepare the filling. Usually, we use meat such as beef or pork, and some vegetables for filling. Remember to cut these things into small pieces, put some salt and oil into it and mix them.

When all these are done, we can start making dumplings. First put a spoonful of filling in the center of the wrappers. Then stick the two opposite sides together. The best shape of dumplings is like a ship. When they are boiling in the pan, they look like ships sailing in the sea. The smell can make your mouth water.
