Everyone! Let me tell you about the chores we discussed in class yesterday. There were five students in my group. Wang Bo makes his bed after getting up every day. Liu Yi doesn't like chores, so she never does any housework at home. Lu Fei sometimes helps clean up rooms and Li Ling usually does the dishes after meals. As for me, I often go shopping and help my mom make meals. In my opinion, it's necessary for us teenagers to do some chores at home. When we do chores with our parents, we can understand and communicate with them well. What's more, we can learn how to take good care of ourselves and relax ourselves from hard work at school. That's all. Thanks for your attention！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
