Should we teenagers help our parents do chores (做家务)? Is it important for us to learn how to do chores? I think so. Most of teenagers like us are the only child in each family. So our parents love us very much. They do 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 child in her family like me. Her parents love her so 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 the 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 meals. Later she even hadinstant noodlesonly for meals. From the story we know that it's very important for us to learn to do chores and other skills besides (除…之外) studying.
