Dear Sir,
您好，先生
I do not understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home.
我不明白为什么有的家长会让孩子帮忙做家务。
Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not have time to study and do housework, too.
孩子们这些天在学校压力已经够大了。他们并没有时间去学习，也没有时间做家庭作业。
Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just let them do their job as students?
做家务很浪费他们的时间。我们能否让他们做学生应该做的事情呢？
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功课上，这样就能考出好成绩，然后考上一所好的大学。
Also, when they get older, they will have to do housework so there is no need for them to do it now.
此外，当他们长大了，他们总是要做家务的，所以现在没有必要就开始做家务。
It is the parents' job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children.
家长们的职责就是为孩子们提供一个干净，舒适的居住环境。
And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. I do not mind doing them.
不管怎么样，我认为做家务太难了。我不介意自己做家务。

Dear Sir,
您好，先生
I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework.
我认为让孩子们学着做家务，并且和父母们一起分担家务是一件很重要的事情。
It is not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much.
孩子们仅仅在学校取得好的成绩是不够的。在当今社会，孩子们过分依赖于他们的父母。
They are always asking, "Could you get this for me?" or "Could you help me with that?"
他们通常会问，“你能给我买这个吗？”或者是“你能给我买那个吗？”
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.
做家务有助于提高孩子们的独立能力和自理能力，还助于培养他们的公平意识。
Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy.
由于他们和父母住在一起，他们需要认识到保持房间干净整洁需要每个人的参与。
Our neighbor's son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself.
我有一个邻居的孩子，他考上了一所理想的大学。但是刚读大一的时候，他却不知道该如何照顾自己。
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.
结果，他经常生病，成绩一落千丈。孩子们越早学会独立，对他们的未来则越有利。
