2. Do you think kids should help out with
chores at home?
1. Do you often help do chores at home?
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?
Dear Sir,
I don’t understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores
at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They don’t 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’s 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
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 neighbor’s 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.
Mr. Smith

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(句子) in each paragraph a little more carefully.(不用读每一个单词，快速浏览文章去找主旨大意。仔细去读每段的首句也是一个很好的主意)
