How to express your own opinions
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 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.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I think that it’s important for children to learn to do chores. I agree that children should help their parents to do housework at home. I think it is fair for children to do some chores. I think children should do their part in keeping the house clean and tidy because they live in one house with their parents. For example, they should help clean the room, take out the rubbish, etc. because it’s easy for them. Doing chores can help to develop children’s independence. And the earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it’s for their future.
Yours truly,
Wei Ming

My friends，
Good morning！ I'm Li Hua. I am very happy to share my view here.My topic is
“We Should Help Parents Do Housework”.
Now many students are too lazy to do housework. But I think we should help
parents do some housework because they are busy with their work and they are very
tired after work every day.
I often help my parents do housework. In the morning，I always make the bed
after I get up. I always take out the rubbish after dinner.Sometimes I can help my mom
with dinner. When I do these，my parents are pleased with me.
I think helping parents do housework can develop kids' independence.And I think
it's everyone's duty to do housework.
That's all. Thank you for your listening！
小试牛刀
为了了解中学生做家务的情况，你们学校对100名学生做家务的情况做
了一个调查。请你根据统计数据，用英语写一份调查报告，并谈谈你对做
家务的看法。

Do middle school students often do the housework？ Days ago， I made a
survey among 100 students in our school. From the pie chart we can see that
16％
of the students often help their parents with the housework， 24％ sometimes do the
housework and 60％ never do it. The result shows that most students don't do the
housework.
I think it's good for middle school students to do some housework. First，
doing some housework can make us independent. We can look after ourselves when
our parents aren't at home. Second， we can share our parents' work by doing some
housework. They will surely be happy if we say， “Have a rest， and I'll do the
housework. ” Last but not least， doing some housework can keep us healthy and
strong. In fact， housework is a kind of physical exercise.
