Culture Focus (Section A)
Children and household chores
In many countries, older children and teenagers are expected to do some household chores to help out at home. They may do their assigned chores every day, or take turns with their brothers and sisters to do the chores. For example, in the US, most children help their parents with household chores to some extent. By the age of six, children will help with simple chores like tidying up their own rooms, setting or clearing the dinner table, or emptying the trash. By the age ten, children may be helping with laundry, or even helping to prepare meals. Many parents “pay” their children a little money for doing chores, encouraging their children to see their household chores as a kind of employment.
Polite requests
In the conversation between Peter and his mother, the mother does not tell Peter to do the chores. Instead, she asks him to do the chores in a polite manner by using questions beginning with Could you please… When speaking English, it is considered polite to requestion someone to do something (using a polite questions), rather than to tell them to do it.
Culture Focus (Section B)
Teens and tweens
The word teenager comes from the “-teen” suffix of the numbers thirteen to nineteen, and refers to a person who is aged 13-19 years old. Teenagers are also often just called “teens” and the word can be used as an adjective, as in teen fashion and teen problems. Children who are younger than teenagers are often called “pre-teens”. Recently, children who are older than nine and younger than thirteen are being called “tweens” because they are between young children and teenagers.
Share your views
In some countries, it is common for newspapers and magazines to invite their readers to express their opinions about certain subjects in society. These newspapers and magazines let ordinary people share their views and learn from one another. They believe that this can help their readers to know more about some important things in society and make them more open-minded in accepting opinions that are different form their own.
Reading 1
In many countries, it is still common to see the whole family cooking together. You will find parents, their children's grandparents in the same kitchen at the same cooking as a family. They talk with each other with fun and make a great meal at the same time. However, a lot of families are too busy nowadays to spend this time together.
In fact, it is very important to find some time to cook together. Even if it is just once a month, whenever it is possible, cooking as a family should be done. Family members rarely get a chance to connect with each other as a family, and cooking together can change that. It can also foster an interest in different types of foods, such as healthy food like vegetables and fruits.
Having children cook with their family in the kitchen also makes them more confident. They can feel like they are doing something important by meeting the needs of their family. It is also more likely that the family will eat dinner together if they prepare it together.
Cooking as a family will also help members understand family values. Cooking together is sure to bring the family happiness and make them close.
