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 difficult. I do not mind doing them.
Dear Sir,
Disagree
Skim the following letters. Which one agrees kids should do chores at home and which one disagrees

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. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.
