Question

The Sunday Mail magazine interviewed some parents about whether children should do chores at home. Different people have different opinions.

Ms Miller thinks that kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. ①They should spend time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and enter a good university. When kids get older, they will have to do housework. So there is no need for them to do it now. She thinks that doing chores is not so difficult.

However, Mr. Smith disagrees with her. He thinks it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It’s not enough to just get good grades at school. ②现在的孩子太依赖他们的父母。 Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. ③ It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Everyone should do their part in keeping the house clean and tidy. ④The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.
