Question

Dear Sir，

I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It's not enough to just get good grades 1. school. Children these days depend 2.   their parents too much. They're always asking, “Could you get this for 3.(I)？” or “Could you help me with that？” Doing chores helps to d4. children's independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It a5.  helps them to understand the idea of fairness. S6. they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping rooms clean and tidy. Our 7.(neighbor)son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea about  8. to take care of himself. As a result, he often  9. (fall) ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the 10. (good) it is for their future.
