Answer the questions(根据以下内容回答问题)

Letter A

Young people are always told that they should make the most of their time,that they will never be as free again So,my question is-why fill up all this free time with housework?Parents expect their children to get good grades,be good at sports,and be popular with other kids.

However,there is not enough time in the day to do these things and then do housework as well.It's not fair to expect teenagers to give up their precious time to do boring house work.Parents and children both have jobs.Parents' jobs are in the work place.Their children's jobs are at school.

The only difference is that parents get paid and children don't.Parents say that they make their kids do housework to teach them responsibility.But this is just at rick.Parents trick their kids into doing housework because they are lazy.

Letter B

Both parents and children have jobs.The parent's job is to go to work to earn money.The child's job is to go to school.But we all get hungry.Someone has to cook the meals and clean up afterward.We all wear clothes that get dirty.Someone has to wash them,iron them,and put them away.Children work from 9 until 4.Parents work from 8 until 6.Sure,after 4 o'clock,children have homework.But after 6,parents have homework too.They have to do the shopping,go to the bank,pay the bills,and help their kids with their own homework!

I think it's only fair that teenagers help out a bit at home.They might not like it,but it's good for them.It teaches them how to look after themselves.This is really useful when93

Sincerely,

Overworked

Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a lovely boy was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked.

Paul answered. “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish…”

Of course Paul knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”

“Oh. yes. I’d love to.” The boy answered.

After a short ride, the boy said, “sir, would you mind stopping in front of my house?”

Paul smiled a little. He thought the boy wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again, “Will you stop where those two stairs are?” the boy asked.

He went up to the stairs. Then in a short while he was carrying his little crippled(残疾的)brother.

“There he is. Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a dollar. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it. Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”

Paul got out and lifted Buddy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed elder brother climbed in behind him and the three began an unforgettable holiday ride.

Dear Mrs. Smith,

I regret to inform you that your order for bed clothes and curtains will not arrive on schedule. The reason for this is the factory that supplies our fabrics(面料) flooded during the typhoon over the weekend. All of the material it had in stock(存货) was ruined, and its workers now have to clean up the factory. This includes repairing some of the looms it uses to make the fabrics.

As a result, it will take an additional two weeks for them to send us the fabrics. Since you custom-ordered these fabrics, the factory has agreed to deal with your order first. As soon as we receive it, my company will also give your order priority; after all, you are a valuable customer for us. We’ll try to get all the bed clothes and curtains done as soon as possible.




I’ll email you when we start sewing work, and again when the items are finished and we’ve done quality control on them. __92__, and I hope you will continue to use our services in the future.

Sincerely,

Joes Sewing Company
