Should we teenagers help our parents do chores? Is it important for us to learn how to do chores? I think so. Most of the teenagers like(像) us students are the only children in each family. So our parents love us very much. They have done 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.

One day her father was badly ill and had an operation(手术)in a 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 the meal. She had a lot of trouble cooking meals and often felt hungry. She only had instant noodles(方便面)for her meals.
