Many other children volunteer to work in museums. They had history lessons before so that they can tell the stories to visitors.

The Youth magazine asked people whether they think children should do chores at home. Here are some of the answers. 

Some people agree that children should do chores. They say that doing chores not only helps children develop their independence but also teaches them how to look after themselves. Others disagree with the idea. In their opinion, doing chores is a waste of time because children already have enough stress from school and they have no time for chores.

As for me, I agree with the idea that children should do chores. Because doing chores helps them to understand the idea of fairness and that’s good for their future.
