One of the common problems between parents and teenagers is chores around the house. Studies show that only 20% of parents are happy with the amount(数量) of housework that their teenagers do.

What affects(影响) the amount of housework that teenagers do? There is more than one factor(因素). Teenagers with mothers who have jobs usually do more chores at home.Also，teenagers from large families always do more housework. For boys, how much housework their fathers do affects a lot.

At the age of 7 or 8, girls and boys may spend similar amounts of time on housework.But as they get older, girls may do more housework than boys. At around 15 or 16 years old, teenagers usually want to spend more time with friends, so they may do less chores around the house.The chores that parents give their children often show the difference between boys and girls.For example, boys are often asked to do outdoor chores like shopping，cleaning the car and taking out the rubbish. But girls often get indoor chores such as kitchen work, house cleaning, and taking care of young children. Probably the best way to encourage teenagers to take on different chores is by setting an example. Boys may be ready to do some “women's chores” if they see their fathers do them.

三、　　Never can I forget that day.It was raining heavily when I was going to a dinner party. Standing at the bus stop, I got worried. Then I saw a girl standing in the rain. She was very sad about something and was trying to make a call on her phone. She shouted angrily on the phone. The rain couldn't stop her tears. In my hand, I had some flowers. I planned to give them to the host of the dinner party. I picked out a beautiful flower and gave it to the girl as she got into a taxi before closing the door. She said “ Thank you” with a lovely smile on her face.　　A few years later, I saw the girl again at a party. Walking over to her, I communicated with her about the day when I gave her a flower. She hugged me and said that the flower made her forget the sadness on that rainy day. Her best friend left her but the flower showed her that there were still kind people in the world.

四、　　As we know, there are millions of blind people in the world. They can't enjoy everyday life like normal people. The blind often have trouble doing things like finding the ways. Guide dogs are good friends and helpers for them. But it is very expensive to train a dog to be a guide dog.

Now, a new kind of robot guide dog can also do the same job like real dogs. The robot guide dog can help the blind in many ways. First of all, it can feel any danger on the way in time and help the blind walk safely. Secondly, it can also lift its legs to climb up and down stairs easily. What's more, it can talk with the blind people and keep them away from being lonely. The robot guide dog doesn't need training. Blind people can control the robot guide dog easily. In the future, it will even be able to plan the best way itself as long as the blind people give orders.

Compared with real guide dogs, such robot guide dogs truly have more advantages, but many scientists think they will not take the place of real guide dogs completely because they have no real feelings.

九、　　In our everyday life, difficulties are normal to meet. However, someone may run away from them. But I choose to face them bravely.

When I was young, I was too fat to do any sports. The PE class was always a nightmare for me. When I tried to run, I always heard laughter from my classmates. As for rope skipping, I could only jump continuously no more than ten times. Luckily, my mom found my problem. She taught me the skills of the rope skipping and practiced with me every day. After only one­month practice, I could finish more than 180 times in one minute! The result surprised both my classmates and myself. They even asked me to teach them. I got the feeling of confidence and tried to meet more challenges.

Now I am a lot stronger and more confident, and I realize no matter how hard the problem is, we can overcome it as long as we keep trying.
