Im going to work on it now. 短文2b The Sunday Mail magazine invited parents to write about whether they think young people should do chores at home.Skimthe following letters. Which one agrees and which one disagrees?SkimmingThis means looking quickly through a piece of writing to find the main idea without reading every word .It is still a good idea to read the first sentence in each paragraph a little more carefully.Dear Sir,I do not understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school.They do not have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just let them do their job as students? They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. Also, when they get older, they will have to do housework so there is no need for them to do it now. It is the parents job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. I do not mind doing them.Mr. SmithDear Sir,I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework .It is not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. They are always asking, “Could you get it for me?” or “Could you help me with that?” Doing chores helps to develop childrens independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness .Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbors son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.Ms. MillerWrite one sentence with each phrase from the letters1. a waste of time2. there is no need forto3. do not mind4. spend time on 5. in order to6. it is not enough to7. the earlierthe better Unit 4 Section ANew words1.allowlav.允许，准许2.wrong r adj、。错误的，不对的3.communication kmjunke()n n交4.流,沟通、5.argue.【 gju v.争吵，争论6.instead nstedadv. 代替；反而7.offer f v.主动提出，自愿给予8.explain ksplen v. 解释，说明9.return rtn v.归还，回去10.continue kntnju v. 持续，继续存在11.whatever wtev pron./conj。 无论什么；12.nervous nvs adj. 神经的；紧张不安的13.proper prp adj. 适当的；14.clear kl adj. 清楚的；清澈的；晴朗的15.deal n. （美）待遇；份量Phrases：1.get enough sleep获得足够的睡眠2.have free time有空闲时间3.allow sb to do sth。允许某人做某事4.allow sth.允许某事5.allow doing sth.允许做某事 6.get into a fight with sb和打架7.look through浏览，温习，仔细看8.giveback to sb.=returnto9.be angry with sb.生某人的气10go to sleep去睡觉，入睡11.go to bed上床睡觉12.big deal 什么大不了的事，重要的事13.a good /great deal（of sth）许多，大量14.deal with处理，应付15.get on with sb.和某人和睦相处16.get on with sth.=get along with sth.取得进展17.argue with sb 和某人争吵18.argue about因某事而争论19instead of 代替20.offer sb.sth.=offer sth. to sb. 为某人提供某物21.offer to do sth. 主动表示要干某事；主动提出做某事22.mind sb. doing sth.介意某人做某事23.notany more 不再=no more2d.

What is the common problem for Chinese and American families?2. Who gives their opinions about the problem?Maybe You Should Learn to Relax!These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekdays because they have take so many after-school classes. Many of then are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university. Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win. However, this doesnt happen only in China. The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylors three children is very busy. ”On most days after school,”Cathy says，“I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my childrens future. I really want them to be successful. ”However, the
