In some Western countries, many children do chores to get pocket money (零花钱). They usually start to do this 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. They often do chores on weekends.

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.

Dear Dr. Manners,
My close friend seldom（很少）says ”please”. She will say “can you get me that bag?” or “move it over here!” I have told her a lot of times that it is polite to use “please” and “thank you”, but she hardly remembers. I feel that she is ordering（命令）me around without “please”, and I always get annoyed（气恼的）.
We have been close friends for over 10 years, this has always been there. It seems that I can’t stand it any more. What should I do? Can you help me?
Sincerely, Hawkins
Dear Ms. Hawkins.
When your friend does not use polite words, it seems that she is ordering you to do something. So you have every right（权力）to hate her behaviors（行为）.
Ask her why she doesn’t use “please” and “thank you”. Explain to her that it makes you uncomfortable. Also, you don’t want to do anything for her because she doesn’t seem kind or pleasant when she asks you to.
Your friend was probably never taught how to use “please” and “thank you” in normal conversation. So you can try to teach her that. Remember it is difficult to find another close friend
