What do you do to get pocket money from your parents? In the USA， many children do housework to get pocket money. They usually start to do this at 10 years old.

School students have to do homework and study for tests. They don't have a lot of free time in the week. They often do housework on the weekend.

Young children only do easy housework. So they don't get much money. But that's all right. Many of them only want to buy candy. And candy is cheap! They help wash up after dinner and feed the family pets.

When they get older， at the age of 10， children want to buy more and more things like model cars， CDs and computer games. They want things that are more expensive than candy. Then they have to do more work， and the work is usually more difficult. They often wash the family car， cut the grass， walk the dog or cook dinner.

Some jobs are a good way for children to learn new things. For example， they can learn how to cook. Of course， their parents help them at first.

A good night's sleep

Do you get the sleep you need?

When the morning sun looks in through our window， do you jump out of bed or go on lying?

Having enough sleep can make the difference between a great day and a terrible one!

Here are the tips for a good night's sleep:

First， go to bed and get up at the same time， even if you haven't gotten a good night's sleep.

Sleeping late for just a few days can change your body clock to a different cycle.

Also， avoid big meals at night. Eating heavy rich food within two hours of bedtime can keep you awake， Your stomach works hard because of those fatty foods， and that may keep you up. Your body

produces a chemical called melatonin that helps you sleep. Light changes the amount of melatonin. It produces more in the evening and less in the daytime. So at night turn off your TV and PC. Also， don't read from abacklit device(有背光的設(shè)備) like an iPad. Some scientists think that the light from those devices stops your body from making melatonin. So turn those screens off at least an hour before bedtime.

After a good night's sleep， you'll be able to face a new day.
