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
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.

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”。

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.

Sample writing
Dear Sir or Madam,
I think that doing housework is good for children. I disagree that doing chores at home is a waste of time. Doing chores helps to develop children's independence. And I think it's fair for children to help their parents do something at home, because their parents have to work hard all day, just the same as they have stress on study. Children these days need to get good grades and take good care of themselves as well.
提出观点
陈述观点
I think children should share some housework with their parents, because it's a good way to learn how to look after themselves. For example, they should help their parents do some cooking, because when they are alone at home, they can get themselves something to eat.
