Dear Sir,

I don’tunderstand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores athome. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They don’t havetime 1       (study) and do housework,too. Housework is a waste 2        their time. Could we just let them 3          (do) their job as students? They should spendtheir time 4        schoolwork in order 5        (get) good grades and get into a gooduniversity. Also, when they get 6        (old), they will have to do housework sothere’s no need for them to do it now. It is the 7     (parent) job to provide a clean andcomfortable environment at home 8       their children. And anyway, I think 9       (do) chores is not so difficult. I don’t mind 10        (do) them.

Mr. Smith

Dear Sir,

I think it is important 1      children to learn how 2      (do) chores and help their parents 3          housework. It’s not enough to just get goodgrades at school. Children these days depend 4        their parents too much. They’re always asking,“Could you get this for me?” or “Could you help me with that?” Doing chores 5           (help) to develop children’s independence andteaches them how to look after 6        (they). It also helps them to understand theidea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they 7        (know) that everyone should do their part in 8          (keep) it clean and tidy. Our neighbor’s songot into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to takecare of himself. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades 9 (drop). The 10        (early) kids learn to be independent, thebetter it is for their future.
