Doing housework is a part of the family life. Some parents refuse (拒绝) to let kids do housework to make them enjoy more playtime. Others teach kids to do housework to make kids become independent (独立的). Then here comes the question: ________ My answer is yes and the following are my reasons.

Doing housework teaches kids life skills. Many of the life skills are things that teachers do not teach, so it’s even more important for kids to learn to do housework.

Doing housework makes kids learn to take on responsibilities (责任) and gain independence. Living with their parents, they should know that everyone in the family should do their part in keeping the house clean. As long as kids can do things by themselves, they won’t always ask their parents for help.

Doing housework helps kids understand their parents better. When parents do the housework, most kids think it’s easy. Unless kids try some housework themselves, they won’t know how hard their parents are. However, giving them housework may help this insight come quickly.

Doing housework helps improve kids’ planning skills. When kids have schoolwork, housework and free time activities in a day, they need to decide what to do first. This way, they will improve their planning skills.

It’s true that studies are important to kids, but it doesn’t mean that kids need to spend all the time on their studies. At different ages, there is some housework that is right for kids. If they can do it, it will be good for their development.

16. Which of the following can be put in “________”?

A. Should children help with housework?

B. Why is playtime important to kids?

C. How can kids become independent?

D. How can we teach kids to do housework?

17. Why can doing housework improve kids’ planning skills?

A. Because housework can help kids know how hard their parents are.

B. Because kids need to decide what to do first among different activities.

C. Because housework teaches kids lots of important life skills.

D. Because kids will not always ask their parents for help.

18. If kids help do housework, they can ________ according to the passage.

①learn life skills
