In our class we have been debating whether or not children should have to do housework when they are at home. Some of the class believe that children should help parents     1    basic housework. They have     2     number of reasons for suggesting this. They suggest that there are many jobs     3     a child can easily do. These would include simple tasks like     4     (wash) up, putting away, laying the table, and so on. Another reason is that when children are older they will have to look after     5     (they), and carrying out these jobs is a good     6     (prepare).

On the other hand, quite a lot of our class have argued against the idea. They believe that housework is boring and that children do not do it very well anyway. One mother said that it was     7     (easy) to do a job herself in the beginning     8     her daughter only made the jobs worse.

    9     (final), after listening to all the arguments that people have suggested, I have made up my own mind. I believe that children should do some basic housework. This     10     (mean) that they learn how to care for themselves and do not become lazy.

The use of the internet in academic contexts is on the rise. However, its role in learning     1     (debate) by teachers and students. For many teachers who did not grow up with this technology, its effects seem alarming and     2     (potential) harmful. But the internet has had a major positive impact on the world of education. The future of teaching lies in the possibilities the internet opens up for communication, research, and interactivity. Students value the flexibility and accessibility     3     (offer) by digital education. Educators should welcome these advantages.
