Many parents make their children do chores around the house. For some families, teaching children what to do and how to do chores is easy. But in other families, getting children to do some housework can be a very big problem.
It is a good idea for parents to teach their children at an early age that all family members must work together to make the house clean, and each person must do his or her share(份) of the work. We can do this by starting a plan for chores and responsibilities when children are young.
Chores are good for children—even very young ones. Doing chores teaches children many important skills(技能) such as working together and being responsible. Doing chores also teaches children what fairness(公平) is. The skills and values(价值) from doing chores will do good to children all their lives.

Recycling
The students don’t just bring their books to school ----- they bring their rubbish(垃圾) too! There are recycling bins (回收箱) in the playground for cans, plastic bottles, batteries and paper. The teachers give a prize to the student who works hardest to recycle every month.

Ms. Miller doesn’t understand why some parents make their kids 36 with housework at home. Kids these days already have enough 37 and they do not have time to study and do housework, too. They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades. Also, when they get 38 , they will have to do housework, so there is no 39 for them to do it now. It is the parents’ 40 to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children.
Mr. Smith thinks it is important for children 41 help their parents with housework. Children these days 42 on their parents too much. Doing chores helps to 43 children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. 44 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 doesn’t knew how to take care of himself , so he often 45 ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.
