辽宁省朝阳市朝阳县多校联考2024年中考一模考试英语试题
Should children do housework? Different people have different ideas. Some parents will say that their children are too busy for housework. Other parents will ask their children to do housework,but the housework doesn't get done. That's a problem.
Doing housework is good for children. Doing housework helps them develop an awareness of the needs of others. One small study,done over a period of 25 years,found that young adults will succeed in their mid﹣20s depend on whether they took part in housework tasks at the age of 3 or 4. Those who early shouldered responsibilities developed a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives.
But few kids are doing much around the house at all. In a survey of 1,000 American parents,75 percent said they believed doing housework made kids" more responsible". Yet only 36 percent of those said they required their children to do housework.
Sports and homework are not the housework﹣free reasons. The goal,after all,is to raise a kind of adults who can balance a caring role in their families and communities. Housework teaches that balance.
What should you do when getting children to do housework? Never accept their excuses. Don't worry if you must repeat yourself again and again. If you're spending more time getting the child to do housework than it would take to do it yourself,then you're doing it right. Can a payment help?I don't think so. If you're trying to teach kids to shoulder the responsibility of a home,paying them for housework is not the right choice.
