内容回答第 11-15 小题，独白读两遍。
In some western countries, many children do chores to get pocket money. They usually start to do housework when
they are ten years old.
School students have to do homework and study for tests. They don't have much free time on weekdays. So they often
do chores on weekends.
Young kids only do easy chores. So they don't get much money. But that's enough. Many of them only want to buy
candy. And candy is cheap! They often help their parents do the dishes, sweep the floor, or feed the pet cat or dog.
When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy.
So they have to work harder! They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals.
Meanwhile, doing chores can also improve their practice ability. Some jobs are a good way for kids to learn new
things. For example, they can learn how to use a grass cutter or how to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first.
Question: How do many children get their pocket money in some western countries?
When do school students usually do chores?
What do young kids do to get pocket money?
Why do kids work harder when they get older?
What does the speaker think of doing chores?

That’s the end of listening comprehension. 听力部分到此结束。
