Reading about conflict between parents and teens over chores; using pronouns and possessive adjectives to link ideas in writing.

- Problem: parents want chores done on their schedule; teens think "Why now, when I can do it later?" – this leads to unnecessary conflict.
- One mother makes a list of chores each week with her daughter; another parent gives pocket money only after chores: "No chores, no money."
- Solution: teens and parents have to reach a compromise, with common sense on both sides.
