Ms. Green has three children and she often makes them do housework. However, her mother-in-law（婆婆）doesn’t agree with her. Her mother-in-law thinks she’s too harsh. In her opinion, it is adults’（成年人）job to do housework.

Her family is made up of five family members. She thinks no one in the family is more important than another, so each member should help with chores. She doesn’t ask her children to do the same chores, because their ages are different.

At the end of the day, after the three children finish playing with their toys, Ms. Green asks them to put the toys away. If they don’t, they will have to say goodbye to their toys. She expects her children to set the table at night and help fold their own clothes. She doesn’t think she is asking too much.

She knows they are tired after a long day’s study at school, but that’s life—harsh but real. She doesn’t want to pay them for doing some chores. They live in the house, so they should help out with some things in the house. No one is going to pay them for cleaning up their rooms later in life and she is not about to start doing it now.

Some parents protect their children too much from anything unpleasant and make their children’s lives too comfortable and safe. But Ms. Green doesn’t like that way. She hopes her children are able to look after themselves and can be independent early.

Dear Mr. Smith,

Help! I’m a middle school student in Beijing. I have a big problem now. My parents made a new rule for me. I have to spend all my free time studying because they want me to get better grades. I can’t sleep well. I really hate this rule. I am worried about my study. I have too much stress. What should I do?

I’m looking forward to your advice.

Yours,

Helen

Dear Helen,

I learn about that you’re facing a difficult problem in your e-mail. Don’t worry! Many children have the same stress from their parents as you. I’m glad to offer help to you. Here is some advice to help you deal with the stress.

※ You should explain that you don’t mind spending more time studying. However, you still need some free time to do some activities, such as watching TV and listening to music.

※ You should promise to work harder. Your parents really care about your studies. If you can get better grades, your parents won’t push you so hard.

※ You should make a study plan for yourself, but don’t study too much in one day. You can remember more by studying one hour each day for six days than six hours in one day. Also, don’t study late at night.

※ You should have a rest for 15 to 20 minutes every two hours. Go outside and walk. Taking exercise is a great way to reduce(减少) stress.

※ Don’t eat a lot of sugar or drink a lot of coffee. Eat food high in Vitamin(维生素) B (such as eggs, green vegetables and fruit). These give you energy and help you think more clearly.

I hope the advice will be useful to you. Good luck!

Yours,

Mr. Smith

72．例文

   March 5 is Learning from Lei Feng Day. I went to Happy Old People’s Home to do some voluntary work. Let me tell you something about it.

   In the morning, I helped people make the bed as well as did some cleaning in their rooms. At noon, it was time for lunch. I handed out some food to them. In the afternoon, I had a chat with the old people there and read newspapers to them. They were so happy and they also told me some stories.

   I think this activity is so meaningful though I was tired. Helping old people reminds me that we should always respect the old and be kind to them.
