Last Sunday, my friend invited me to have dinner in her home. When I1her house I saw her 12-year-old son chopping(砍) wood in the yard. I was so 2at it. I was worried about him because he was using an axe. (斧头) I felt it was so 3 for such a small boy to do the work. But my friend seemed not to think so. She said that her son often helped out with the 4 around the house and did a good job.
I began to think. Why was her child taking such grown-up tasks 5 I could hardly get mine to clean their rooms? I always got angry with my children when they 6 their clothes and other things everywhere. But it was no use stopping them making a(n)7 in their rooms. And I 8 asked them to help me with the housework. However, in fact, scientists 9 that doing chores can give children confidence. And it encourags children to see 10 as a part of the family. I think that I should start making my children do the chores from now on.
