Dear Sir or Madam,

I think children should do chores at home. Here are three reasons. First, parents work hard outside and if they do all the housework at home, they will be very tired. Second, children live in one house with their parents, so it's unfair for parents to do all the housework. At least, children should do simple chores. For example, they should clean their bedrooms or make their beds.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yours truly,
Eric
Third, doing chores can help to develop children's spirit of working hard and it can also help to develop children's independence. It's good for their future. So I believe that children should do chores at home.

写英文信件时需要注意的事项。
1. 发信人的地址和日期,要写在信纸的右上角。地址的写法与汉语的书写顺序相反,要先写小地点后写大地点,例如:45 Heping Road, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province PRC。在地址下面写发信日期,日期的顺序是日、月、年或者月、日、年。
2. 称呼要视收信人而定,常用的有姓名、姓氏、名字和职务,前面一般加Dear, 如, Dear Zhang Gang, Dear Zhang, Dear Peter, Dear Mr Smith等。
3. 正文部分开门见山、简明扼要,直接说明写信的原因及事情。

常见的私人信件的开头方式:

关心与询问:How are you these days?/ How are you getting on these days?/ How are you getting on with your work/studies?

一般在表示道歉没有及时给对方写信
时,还要简述原因或写上安慰的话。
