My name is Jack. I have a big family. They are my grandparents, my parents, my sisters and I. It’ s Saturday morning. We’ re all at home.

My grandfather sits on the sofa near the window. He is reading a newspaper. My grandmother is cleaning the living room. My father is watching sports games on TV in his bedroom. Basketball games are his favorite and he is good at playing basketball. Where are my two sisters? Oh, look! Sally is over there. She is listening to music. She likes music very much. Nancy is in her room. ①The computer is in her room. She is using the computer. She is writing an e-mail to her friend. What am I doing? I am doing my homework. Do you know who is cooking? Oh, my mother is cooking for us in the kitchen.

Hi! I’m Lily. My family and I live in a big house. I’m 11 and I have a younger brother, Tom. He is 8 years old. My mom is a nurse, and she works in a hospital. She works a lot, and usually at night. (A)她没有足够的时间做家务, so my dad often helps her and he likes it. My dad works in a bank. He arrives home at about 4 p.m., so he can do a lot of things at home.

Every evening Dad cooks dinner. My brother and I help him. After dinner Dad does the dishes and I help him dry them. Then we take a shower and Dad reads (B) us short stories. In the morning, Mom makes breakfast. Tom and I make our beds. Then Dad takes us to school by car.

On Saturday, we clean the house. I clean the furniture (家具) and Dad sweeps the floor. Tom takes the rubbish out and waters the plants. Dad likes cleaning the windows but he hates ironing (熨). He never does it. My grandma comes to us twice a week and she irons our clothes.

On Sunday, we wash the car together and Dad often takes us to play in the park and eat in our favorite restaurant.

Many children don’t like doing chores. But asking children to help with chores is more than just getting the house cleaned. It can also help children to be independent and responsible（有责任心的）.

Luckily, there is an app to help. The app You Rule Chores lets kids get up from the sofa and do chores. Through smart phone games, the app turns children into housework helpers. “It is difficult to get kids to do work around the house. We made the app to teach kids self-control, which is very important to their future,” one of the app engineers said.

How to use You Rule Chores? First, each child needs to choose one of the app’s characters. Then the child can start to do chores. Once he finishes it, he can get some coins（硬币） from the app. He can use them to buy things from the online store.
