Dear Sir,
尊敬的先生：

我不理解为什么有些父母让孩子帮忙做家务和杂务。
Kids these days already have enough stress from school.
现在的孩子学业压力已经够大了。
They do not have time to study and do housework, too.
他们没有时间同时兼顾学习和做家务。
Housework is a waste of their time.
家务活是在浪费他们的时间。
Could we just let them do their job as students?
难道不能就让他们做好学生的本职工作吗？
They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university.
他们应该把时间花在学业上，这样才能取得好成绩、进入好大学。
Also, when they get older, they will have to do housework so there is no need for them to do it now.
而且，等他们长大了，自然就得做家务，所以现在没必要做。
It is the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children.

Dear Sir,
尊敬的先生：
I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework.
我认为让孩子学习如何做家务、帮助父母分担家务很重要。
It is not enough to just get good grades at school.
仅仅在学校取得好成绩是不够的。
Children these days depend on their parents too much.
现在的孩子过于依赖父母了。
They are always asking, “Could you get this for me? ” or “Could you help me with that? “
他们总是问“能帮我拿一下这个吗？”或者“能帮我做一下那个吗？”
Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves.
做家务有助于培养孩子的独立性，并教会他们如何照顾自己。
It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness.
这还有助于他们理解公平的意义。
Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy.
既然他们和父母住在同一个屋檐下，就应该明白每个人都有责任保持家里清洁整洁。
Our neighbors’ son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself.
我们邻居的儿子考上了一所好大学，但在第一年，他完全不知道如何照顾自己。
As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped.
结果是他经常生病，成绩也下降了。
The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.
孩子越早学会独立，对他们的未来就越有益处。
