To Do Or not to Do 目 录 CONTENTS 01 02 03 Pre-reading While reading After reading Reading tasks Language points Practice Do you do any household chores on weekends? A study of British teenagers has found that most of them have never done any household chores. Many young people aged 11 to 16 don’t have to make their bed. Thirty-five percent have never cooked a meal, sixty-three percent have never done the ironing and more than seventy-five percent have never run the washing machine or cleaned the bathroom. Dr Sheila Green is one of the writers of the study. “This information is very worrying,” she says. “Every year, teenagers are getting lazier. Real jobs in the real world will be very difficult for them.” Dan Sparks, from the parents’ website FamilyFirst.com doesn’t see eye to eye. “Young people today work very hard — harder than their parents sometimes. Many of them have to do three hours of homework every night. Playing in a sports team or learning a musical instrument can take a lot of time too and these activities are an important part of teenagers’ lives. If we want young people with good exam results and also some interests outside school, we mustn’t give them chores.” Linda Fiorelli, writer of The Happy Home, feels very differently. “It’s about respect, not time. Even my five-year-old son has to lay the table every day. It takes one minute, but it’s important. Children share the house with their parents, so they must share the jobs around the house too. That’s fair and it teaches good habits for the future.” True (T) or False (F)? ( )1. 35% British teenagers have never done the ironing. ( )2. Dan Sparks is one of the writers of the study. ( )3.
