Best wishes, Ben Smith Unit3 Dear Sir, I dont understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from
10、school. They dont have time 1 (study) and do housework, too. Housework is a waste 2 their time. Could we just let them 3 (do) their job as students? They should spend their time 4 schoolwork in order 5 (get) good grades and get into a good university. Also, when they get 6 (old), they will have to d
11、o housework so theres no need for them to do it now. It is the 7 (parent) job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home 8 their children. And anyway, I think 9 (do) chores is not so difficult. I dont mind 10 (do) them. Mr. Smith 7 Dear Sir, I think it is important 1 children to learn ho
12、w 2 (do) chores and help their parents 3 housework. Its not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend 4 their parents too much. Theyre always asking, “Could you get this for me?” or “Could you help me with that?” Doing chores 5 (help) to develop childrens independence and
13、teaches them how to look after 6 (they). It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they 7 (know) that everyone should do their part in 8 (keep) it clean and tidy. Our neighbors son got into a good college but during his first year, he had
14、 no idea how to take care of himself. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades 9 (drop). The 10 (early) kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.

15、ficult. They fight a lot, and I really dont like it. Its the only 2 (communicate) they have. I dont know if I 3 (say) anything to them about this. When they 8 argue, its like a big, black cloud 4 (hang) over our home. Also, my 5 (old) brother is not very nice to me. He always refuses 6 (let) me watc
16、h my favorite TV show. Instead he watches whatever he wants until late at night. I dont think this is fair. At home I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal? What can I do? Sad and Thirteen Dear Sad and Thirteen, Its not easy 7 (be) your age, and its normal to have these feelings. Why 8 (not
17、) you talk about these feelings with your family? If your parents are having problems, you should offer 9 (help). Maybe you could do more jobs around the house so that they have 10 (much) time for proper communication. Secondly, why dont you sit down and communicate 11 your brother? You 12 (explain)
18、 that you dont mind him 13 (watch) TV all the time. However, he should let you 14 (watch) your favorite show. I hope you 15 (feel) better for you soon.

Linda Miller, a mother of three, 1 (know) all about such stress. “In some fami
22、lies, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older,” she says. “Mothers send their small kids 2 all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them 3 other children. Its crazy. I dont think thats fair. Why dont they just let their kids be kids? People shouldnt push their
23、 kids so hard.” Doctors say too 4 (many) pressure is not good for a childs 5 (develop). Dr. 10 Alice Green says all these activities 6 (cause) a lot of stress for children. “Kids should have time 7 (relax) and think for 8 (they), too.

This was an important event in American history. On this day, Dr. Martin Luther King 3 (kill). Although some people may
29、 not remember who killed him, they remember what they were doing when they 4 (hear) the news.

The news re

One of the main reasons is because people want 8 14 (challenge) themselves in the face of difficulties. The s
39、pirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up 9 (try) to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be 10 (strong) than the forces of nature.

44、 17 (teach) children is one way to help save pandas. The Chinese government is also 18 (plant) more bamboo trees so there will be more forests for pandas to live 19 .

67、ars now. Its a shame, but I just dont have the time,” he says. Many people like Zhong Wei regard with great interest how their hometowns 5 (change). Perhaps large hospitals and new roads have appeared. In many places, the government has also built new schools and sent teachers from the cities to hel

I hear theyre going to build a new school there.” Zhong Wei thinks such developments are good, and he also kn
69、ows that his hometown cannot always stay the same. According 7 Zhong Wei, however, some things will never change. “In my hometown, there was a big old tree opposite the school. It is still there and has become quite a symbol of the place. Most of the children in my time liked 8 (play) together under that big tree, 9 (especial) during the summer holidays. It was such a happy childhood. Our hometown has left many soft and sweet 10 (memory) in our hearts.”
