Dear Sir, I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It is not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. They are 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.

Key words and expressions How to show your opinion Topic sentence Reasons Conclusion Summary 中小学生是否应当帮助家长干家务是世界各国教育界讨论的热门话题之一。哈佛大学的教育学者曾对400多名少年长期跟踪调查,发现美国小学生每日平均劳动1.2小时。他们得出结论:爱做家务和不爱做的孩子相比,长大后失业率为1:15,犯罪率为1:10,平均收入高出20%;此外,离异率、心理疾病患病率也比较低。 在一些家庭中,家长给做家务的孩子发工钱,以此来激励孩子参与家务劳动。孩子在几毛几块的鼓励下把被动劳动变成主动劳动。随着年龄增长,他们逐渐学会体谅父母,也知道了自己在家庭中应该有所担当,懂得不劳而获是不对的。当然,对于用工钱激励孩子做家务的方式,社会上也有所争议。 孩子帮助家长从事适当的家务可以加强责任感,培养动手能力和观察能力,有利于家庭成员间的理解和沟通。在做家务中会遇到各种难题,会促使他们思考解决的方法,还能增强耐心和坚持不懈的精神。 有关家务劳动 Anyway, when we are free , we should try to help our parents do some chores. After all, it’s not easy for our parents to work all day and do chores all night. Lavf57.83.100 null 49344.727 null 63084.42 $$
