Should we teenagers help our parents do chores? Is it important for us to learn how to do chores? I think so. Most of teenagers like us are the only child in each family. So our parents love us very much. They do everything well for us and don't want us to do any chores. I think it's bad for us. The following is a real story.

    I have a classmate called Li Ting. She is the only child in her family like me. Her parents love her so much that they don't let her do any chores. Every day she only gets up，has meals, goes to school, comes home, does homework and goes to bed. So she doesn't know how to do chores. One day, her father was badly ill and had an operation(手术） in the hospital. Her mother had to take care of her father in the hospital and couldn't cook the dishes for Li Ting for a week. Li Ting didn't know how to cook meals. Later she even had instant noodles(方便面）only for meals. From the story we know that it's very important for us to learn to do chores and other skills besides(除……之外） studying.

    Here are a few ways to motivate(激发)children to do chores.

    .Children always watch their parents and learn how to act from them, so the parents must set a good example and take chores seriously. This motivates children to do chores，too.

    Decide what kinds of chores children do. For younger children，give them easy work，like putting away their toys..

    Tell children about the importance of doing chores..Knowing the importance of the chores helps to motivate children to do them.

    .When children finish the chores on the list，parents can reward(奖励）them by giving them a prize. A chore list also gives children a sense of pride(自豪感）when they finish all their chores.

    Give children some money to do more chores..But it is not the best way. It's best to make children feel that doing chores is the work that they should do.
