Answer 1

【答案】Dear Sir or Madam,

I think that teenagers like me should help our parents with housework.

First, doing housework makes us independent. We can’t depend on our parents all the time. So we should learn how to take care of ourselves now.

Second, doing housework is a kind of physical exercise. It helps us stay healthy and strong.

Third, since we live in a house with our parents, it’s fair for us to work together and make the house clean and comfortable.

All in all, doing housework helps us to learn life skills and understand the idea of fairness. So I think teenagers should learn to enjoy doing it with our parents.

Yours truly,

Lisa

【解析】本文是根据自己的体会，写一篇短文向该报社，所以句子的主语用第一人称，句子的谓语动词用一般现在时，所写的句子应该符合英语语法，要使用高级的句式和词汇。短文用了一些短语和句式，如：help sb with sth帮助某人做某事；take care of 照顾；it is+形容词+for sb to do sth,make sth +形容词；enjoy doing sth喜欢做某事。用了that，since引导的从句，增加了文章的亮点。
