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(象) 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. I have a classmate called Li Ting. She is the only children in his family like me. Her parents love her very 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 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 fell down in great trouble(麻烦) and often felt(感到) hungry. Later she even had instant noodles(方便面)only for meals. How funny! From the story we know it’s very important for us to learn to do chores And other skill(能力)from now on besides(除。。。之外) studying.
