Last month, our dog welcomed me when I (come) home from school. He wanted a walk, but I was too tired. I (throw) down my bag and went to the (live) room. The minute I (sit) down in front of the TV, my mom came over.
"Could you please take the dog for a walk?" she asked.
"Could I watch one show first?" I asked. "No!" she replied(angry). "You watch TV all the time and never help out around the house! I can't work all day and do housework all evening. " "Well , I work all day at school, too! I' m just as tired as you are! " I shouted back.
My mom didn't say(something) and walked away. For one week, she did not do any housework and(either) did I.(final) ,I could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt.
The next day, my mom came home from work (find) the house clean and tidy.
"What(happen)" she asked in surprise.
"I'm so sorry, Mom. I finally understand that we need(share) the housework to have a clean and comfortable home," I(reply).
Dear Sir,
I don't understand why some parents make their kids help 1 housework and chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They don't have time(study) and do housework, too. Housework is a waste their time. Could we just let them do their job as students? They should spend their time schoolwork in order (get) good grades and get into a good university. Also, when they get(old), they will have to do housework so there is no need for them (do) it now. It's the(parent) job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home their children. And anyway, I think(do) chores is not so difficult, I don't mind(do) them.
Mr. Miller
Dear Sir,
I think it is important for children(learn) how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It is not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend their parents too much. They are always(ask), "Could you get this for me? Or "Could you help me with that?" doing chores helps to develop children's(independent) and(teach) them how(look) after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of(fair). Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in(keep) it clean and tidy. Our neighbor's son got into a good college but during this year, he had no idea how to take care of(he). As result, he often (fall) ill and his grades(drop). The(early) kids learn to be independent, the(good) it is for their future.
