Dear Sir or Madam,
I think children should do chores at home.
Here are three reasons. On the one hand, parents work hard outside and if they do all the housework at home, they will be very tired. On the other hand, children live in one house with their parents, so it's unfair for parents to do all the housework. At least, children should do simple chores. For example, they should clean their bedrooms or make their beds. What 's more, doing chores can help to develop children's spirit of working hard and it can also help to develop children's independence. It's good for their future.
So I believe that children should do chores at home.
Yours truly,
Emma
