Most American families are smaller than the families in other countries. Most American families have one or two
parents and one or two children each.
When children are young, parents often ask them to do some work around the house. And inmany families,
parents often give the money for doing the housework by children. And children can learn how to make money for
their own use. Some children will find a part-time job(兼职) to get the money to use. So children know how to make
