DISCUSSING: Should children help do chores at home？ Why or why not?

Children should do chores because… Children should not do chores because… Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence. Housework is a waste of children’s time. Doing chores can help to take care of ourselves. It’s parents’ job to provide a clean and tidy environment at home for their children. Parents work hard all day so that they are too tired to do all the chores. Children’s only job is to study hard and do well in school.

Writing Write a letter to the Sunday Mail and express your opinion.

Dear Sir or Madam, I think /believe that children should do some chores at home. I disagree children`s only job is to study hard and do well at school. Of course it is important for children to study hard. However I think it is unfair for children expect their parents to do all chores.

I think children should do some simple chores to help busy parents. because parents are too tired to do all chores. make their own beds and clean their rooms. For example, they should/should not because they are the ones who use these.Also, doing chores will help them to grow up to be independent and responsible adults. Yours truly, Tom/Lucy
