Some parents think childhood (童年) is just for playing, 4 they don’t ask their children 5 chores. Other parents have a different opinion, but they still give their children no chores. They say, “I know it’s not right, but it’s 6 to do it by myself!”

★To learn skills (技巧): Children will learn 13 to cook, clean and do other things in the house. These life skills will serve them 14 throughout (贯穿整个时期) their lives.
All in all, it’s good 15 children to grow up doing chores. So start to help your parents with the chores. Act now!
