    Should kids do chores? In our country, many parents believe that (they) children should not do chores. Some of them feel that their (child) schoolwork is very important and that chores only take time away from those more important (lesson). Some parents feel it's just (easy) to do the job themselves- chores for kids would take too much of their time and patience (耐心). Still other parents would say, "You're only young once." and feel that children should have more playtime to enjoy (them).

    Back in the days when most Americans lived on farms, parents often (ask) their children to work to help their family survive (生存). But as moms and dads left their homes and went out to work, more and more Americans have decided that children should have a life free from hard work.

    When (educate) kids, it is important to remember to teach them life skills when you care about their schoolwork. And because our kids are at home with us all day long, it's very important to put these real life lessons into our day.

    Our kids hope to help out with chores a very young age. Most young children actually really like to help their parents- they want (spend) time with parents and do the same things as their parents do. If you have young children, now is the (good) time to invite them to help out with the chores. You will find them very happy to do that.

Dear Emma,

    Your problem is likecircle. The harder you study, the (little) time you have to make friends and the less friendly you look to your classmates. The fewer friends you have, the harder you study to make (you) feel better.

    Try to break this bad circle. Perhaps you are afraid of meeting new people, you are too shy or too serious  (begin) a conversation. You are not someone who has a fun side to his character. Push your shy side away and show your classmates how much fun you can be.

    Look at your classmates. Try to find out whether or not there are any people with whom you feel you have a lot  common.

    First, smile at your   (classmate). Do this as often as you can, until your classmates become used to your smiles and smile in return.

    Next, talk to your classmates. Do this in classes or during your lunch break. You may find it easier to start by talking to people when they are alone.

    Perhaps you could ask a classmate about your studies. They are likely to respond

( 回应) in a very positive way. People like to feel important and (help). It must be someone else in your class who is also quiet. It might be easier to try to talk with him or her.

    Your problem is mainly about confidence. Smile first, talk next and (slow) you will make friends. Once you have more confidence, you can make as many friends you want.
