— Oh, I forgot that. Can you help me to ________ when you leave?

I on my bedroom wall.

    Annie is neighbour's daughter. When her birthday month came around I found out she felt blue and lonely.

    Her family is quite small and kind of poor so there wouldn't be any birthday visitors. I wanted to send her a card and maybe a small gift to make her happy.

    I told some of my friends I would like to have a birth- day party for the girl. I asked them for help. Then I bought some small presents, a cake and something else.

    When the day came, my friends and I went to her house. When she got home after school, we gave the presents to her and wished her a happy birthday.

    It was so easy to do something helpful. My friends helped take the party. They still laugh and talk about it. And Annie tells me she likes the birthday very much and she can still remember it!

    Most children don't enjoy doing housework. They like playing computer games instead of cleaning the rooms. But in Australia, Jim and Robert's mother, Mrs Black, has good and proper methods to get their children to do housework.

    Here is an example.

    "Mum, have you worked out next week's housework? Let Jim and me choose the cards. I can't wait. It's fun!"

    When Robert shouted out, his mother had already put all the cards on their big table. On the cards, there are some words like these. "sweep the floor, clean your bed- room, help mum cook, wash vegetables, make beds, feed the fish, cut the wood, clean the bathroom" and many others. Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they would hang them on the weekday task board. Jim likes to clean the bathroom best, so he picked up the card "clean the bathroom" first. Robert loves to make the bed so he picked up his favourite card. Jim again picked up "wash vegetables" and Robert chose "feed the fish". Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards.

    To help the children do housework, their mother thought hard and thought up this idea. Of course, their parents did the housework on the weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free.
