Original

In the first week, Howie didn’t like to do that because he was so lazy. At last, he only completed 36 tasks among the 70 tasks. In order to increase his activity, I gave him 7.2RMB for allowance because each task is 0.2RMB. Howie was happy that he earned by his labor/working. In the second week,  On the last day of the second week, Howie went to the whiteboard and counted his scores. He told me, “Mommy, I have finished/completed 41 tasks.” I double checked it and found it was wrong, it was 40 and he got 8RMB. So, in the second week Howie made just a little progress. I think in the next week, he will make much progress and it looks he likes to do his chores than before. This morning, when Howie and his father/ Howie and my husband / the boys / they left home, I went to the whiteboard and surprised to find there was 3 check off on the chore chart.
