Dear Sir,
I do not ___________ why some parents make their kids help with houwork and chores at home. Kids the days already have enough ___________ from school. They do not have time ___________ and do houwork, too. Houwork is a ___________ of their time. Could we just let them do their job as students? They should spend their time on schoolwork in ___________ to get good grades and get into a good university. Also, whey they get order, they have to do houwork so there is ___________ need for them to do it now. It is the parents’ job ___________ a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. And anyway, I think ___________ chores is not so difficult. I do not ___________ doing them.

Dear Sir,
I think it is ___________ for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with houwork. It is not ___________ to just get good grades at school. Children the days ___________ on their parents too much. They are always asking, “Could you get this for me?”or “Could you help me with that?”Doing chores ___________ to develop children’s ___________ and teaches them how to look after themlves. It also helps them to understand the idea of ___________. Since they live in one hou with their ___________, they should know that everyone should do their part in ___________ it clean and tidy. Out neighbors’ son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no ides how to ___________ care of himlf. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the___________ it is for their future.
