Let's discuss!
Discuss the questions with your parnter.
1. What do you often do to help your parents at home
I often take out the rubbish and do the dishes.

2. Do you think kids should help out with chores at home
2b
The Sunday Mail magazine invited parents to write about whether they think young people should do chores at home. Read the following letters. Which one agrees and which one disagrees
Reading Strategy
Skimming
This means looking quickly through a piece of writing to find the main idea without reading every word. It is still a good idea to read the first sentence in each paragraph a little more carefully.
略读
The last sentence is important, too.
While-reading
Dear Sir,
I do not understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just let them do their job as students They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. Also, when they get older, they will have to do housework so there is no need for them to do it now. It is the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. I don’t mind doing them.

Ms. Miller’s opinion
topic sentence（主旨句）
disagree
Dear Sir,
I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It is not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. They are always asking, “Could you get this for me ”or “Could you help me with that ” Doing chores helps to develop children's independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbors' son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.

I agree with the second letter. Because I think kids need to do some chores at home in order to learn how to take care of themselves.
Grades are not everything. Besides study, kids really need to learn some basic life skills.
Language points
1. I do not understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home.
make sb. do sth. 为固定结构，其中sb.后接不带to的动词不定式作宾语补足语。其否定形式为make sb. not do sth., 意为“使某人不要做某事”。有此用法的词还有let， have。
make sb. do sth. 使某人做某事
Kids like reading stories which can make them laugh.
2. Kids these days already have enough stress from school.
stress n. 精神压力；心理负担
stress 作名词还可意为“强调；重要性”。
I think you should place more stress on the cost.
我认为你应该更多的去强调成本。
stress 作动词还意为“强调”。

他强调了接受良好教育的重要性。

spend 人 时间或金钱 sb. spend(s) some time/money on sth.
某人在某事/物上花费时间/金钱
sb. spend(s) some time/money doing sth.
某人花费时间/金钱做某事
例词 主语 宾语 常用结构

in order to 目的是；为了
in order to表示目的，后接动词原形，其否定形式为in order not to。

【拓展延伸】in order that也表示“为了”，其后接从句。有时可与in order to 进行转换。

5. It's the parents' job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children.
It's+名词+ to do sth. 其中it为形式主语，真正主语为to do sth.
It's everyone's duty to keep the environment clean and tidy.
provide v.提供
【相关短语】
provide sb. with sth.
provide sth. for sb.
为某人提供某物
6. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. 反正我觉得干家务也不太难。
anyway 是个副词，置于句首时，其后常常用逗号与其他成分隔开。意为“反正，仍然，依然”。
Sam didn’t get the job, but he is not unhappy because it didn’t pay well anyway.
anyway还可以表示“不管怎样，无论如何”。
It’s just a cold. But anyway you should still see the doctor.
7. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy.
