Dear Sir, I don’t understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home. 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. Could we just let them do their job as students? They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. Also, when they get older, they will have to do housework so there is no need for them to do it now. It is the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. I don’t mind doing them. Ms. Miller

Dear Sir, I think 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. Children these days depend on their parents too much. They’re always asking, “Could you get this for me? ” or “Could you help me with that? ” Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbor’s son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future. Mr. Smith

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary; 当我失落的时候，噢，我的灵魂，感到多麼的疲倦； When troubles come and my heart burdened be; 当有困难时，我的心背负著重担， Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, 然后，我会在寂静中等待， Until you come and sit a while with me. 直到你的到来，并与我小坐片刻。 You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; 你鼓舞了我，所以我能站在群山顶端； You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; 你鼓舞了我，让我能走过狂风暴雨的海； I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; 当我靠在你的肩上时，我是坚强的； You raise me up… To more than I can be. 你鼓舞了我，让我能超越自己。
