　Sam hated doing chores. And he had many chores. For example, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays he took out the rubbish. And on weekends he always washed his father’ s car. He a1so cleaned his own room once a week. What a chore that was! Sometimes he even had to look after his little sister and brother.
　Sam had a foreign friend at school. His name was Kumar. Doing chores in Kumar’ s family was very different. In the house only the girls did chores. His sisters made all the beds and cleaned all the rooms too, even his bedroom. His mother always cooked the meals, and his sisters helped her to go shopping, and prepare the food. They worked hard at home, doing all the chores with their mother. So when Kumar talked to his friend Sam about chores, he felt very lucky.
　One day, Sam had an idea. He asked Kumar, “Could I borrow your sisters?” He wanted them to help him clean his room, but they said “no”. Instead (相反), they asked Sam to teach their brother how to do chores, so he could make his own (自己的) bed.

Dear Wang Lei,
I’ m writing to talk to you about the chores. You think doing chores is boring, but I don’ t think so. When you are doing chores, you use your hands and head. This can make you smarter. And your parents are busy working all day. If you help them do chores, they can have more time to relax. Besides, it is necessary for us to learn some basic life skills, such as cooking and doing the dishes. Do you think so?
Yours,
Joe
