Recently, Children should eat their meals and snacks at home during the outbreak of the covid-19 （新冠病毒）,which means not only adding a new stress （压力）for parents （eg, a lot more cooking!）, but also providing a new chance for parents to teach children cooking skills.

Helping children develop an interest in cooking when they're young can help them have the valuable life skill that they can carry into adulthood. Allowing children to help in the kitchen encourages them to learn where food comes from, and teaches them about nutrition and food safety （e.g., the importance of washing fresh produce with clean water, or hand-washing before and after helping in the kitchen）. Doing so may also help children overcome picky eating by becoming more accepting of new foods. What's more, cooking and baking can be fun ways to spend time while bonding with family.

The key is finding tasks that suit children's age and ability, while still guiding and monitoring their progress. Activities that may attract a preschooler's interest in cooking include helping to wash fruits and vegetables and add toppings to a pizza. Older children can be given tasks such as measuring ingredients into cups or beating eggs.

【解析】

这是一篇概要写作。本文介绍了父母让孩子在家里参与厨房活动是很有意义的。

写作步骤：

1 )细读原文。首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握文章主旨。阅读文章可知，父母让孩子在家里参与厨房活动是很有意义的，并提及了意义的三个方面。

2 )弄清结构，归纳段意。概要写作是写全文概要，不是写某部分的概要，或者就某些问题写出要点，要综合每段段意概括出文章大意。本文第一段讲病毒爆发期间为家长们提供了一个新的机会来教孩子们烹饪技巧。第二段讲激发他们对烹饪的兴趣，这对孩子是有益的。第三段讲父母应该根据孩子的年龄和能力给他们一些合适的任务。第四段讲当孩子们学习烹饪时，父母应该有耐心。

3 )列出原文要点。分析原文的内容和结构，将内容分项扼要表述并注意在结构上的顺序。在此基础上选出与文章主题密切相关的部分。

4 )在写作时要特别注意下面几点：

(1)概要应包括原文中的主要事实，略去不必要的细节。

(2)安排好篇幅的比例，概要应同原文保持协调，即用较多的文字写重要内容，用较少的文字写次要内容。

(3)注意要点之间的衔接，要用适当的关联词语贯通全文，切忌只简单地写出一些互不相干的句子，但也不要每两句之间都加关联词语，以免显得生硬。

(4)不排斥用原文的某些词句，但不要照搬原文的句子，如果不能完全用自己的话语表达，至少对原文句子做一些同义词替换，如果结构上也能有一些转换会更好。

(5)计算词数，看是否符合规定的词数要求。
