The Sunday Mail magazine
Dear Sir,
I don’t understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They don’t have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just letthem 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’s 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.
Mr. Smith
Dear Sir,
I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It’s not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much.They’re 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 neighbor’s 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.

Anyway, when we are free , we should try to help our parents do some chores.
After all, it’s not easy for our parents to work all day and do chores all night.
Language points
it 为形式主语，真正的主语是provide a clean and …for their children.
It’s one‘s job (duty) to do something.
看作一个固定句型，表示“做某事是某人的职责”
1.It is the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children.
Language points
anyway是一个副词, 若位于句首, 其后往往会有逗号将其与句子的其他内容隔开。anyway在此句中的作用是追加评论, 相当于汉语的“反正; 仍然; 依然”。
2.And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult.
Language points
anyway还可用来表示“不管怎样; 无论如何”之意。
It’s just a cold. But anyway, you should still see the doctor.
这只不过是感冒, 但不管怎样, 你还是应该看看医生。
2.Sam didn’t get the job, but he’s not unhappy because it didn’t pay well anyway.
Language points
3. ill & sick
◆ 相同点
ill 与sick 都可以表示“生病的”，都可作表语。如：
Alice was ill / sick yesterday.
◆不同点
表示“生病”时，sick 可作定语，但ill 通常不作定语。如：
Could you help the sick girl
