Many parents make their children do chores（家务） around the house. For some families, teaching children what to do and how to do chores is easy. But in other families（调查） about this problem. We asked 4, 000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing

Chores	2, 000 teenagers in small villages	2, 000 teenagers in big cities
Take out the trash（垃圾）	1, 600	1, 000
Sweep the floor	1, 200	850
Make the bed	1, 400	600
Do the dishes	1, 100	1, 500
Fold the clothes	900	750

We found that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. We suggest that parents should give their children some chores to do, chores are good for children, even very young ones. Doing chores can teach children many important skills like working together. Chores also teach children what is fair. The skills and value from doing chores will be good for children all their life. All family members must work together to make house clean（份） of the work. We can do this by starting a plan of chores and responsibilities（责任） when children are young.
