Tip: skimming 指快速读过去,提取文本中的关键性信息。可以把这种读法理解为快速浏览文本,领会文章大意。一般通过标题可知道文章的主题。对文章的首段和末段要多加注意,尤其是段落的首句。
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.
make sb. do sth.
make sb adj.
enough+n./ n+enough
adj./adv.+enough
have time to do sth.有时间做某事
have no time to do sth.没时间做某事
浪费时间
let sb do sth.让某人做某事
四个花费:
spend time/money doing/on sth.
It takes sb some time to do sth.
sb pay money for sth.
sth cost sb money
为了。in order to do sth.
so that与in order to意思接近,但是in order to后面接动词原形而且可以位于句首,而so that后面接从句并且一般不能位于句首,相当于in order that。
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 difcult. I do not mind doing them.
Ms. Miller
there is no need for sb to do sth.
it为形式主语, 真正的主语是不定式短语to provide …
It is one’s job (duty …) to do sth.
做某事是某人的工作(职责等)
provide sth for sb=provide sb with sth.
动名词做主语,谓语动词用单数
mind doing sth.
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.
depend on 依靠;信赖;
that / it (all) depends. 那要看情况而定。
development n. 发展
developing adj. 发展中的
developed adj. 发达的
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.
Mr. Smith
the+n+of ...的...
n. 公平
fair adj.公平的
unfair adj. 不公平的
do one’s part in doing sth.尽某人的一份力做某事
keep sb/sth+adj.

sick+n.
the+比较级, the+比较级 越……, 就越……
