At the age of two, our kids began to help us with housework. They helped to _________ their pets and clean the house. Now Mary can make her bed, fold the clothes and _________ the rubbish. Last week, she _________ for us. We were happy because it was delicious.

I like asking kids to begin to do housework early for several _________. Firstly, it is fun for kids to do chores. Two-year-old kids like to do the same things _________ their parents. They want to stay with their parents doing things alone. It’s a good time to _________ their independence when you are busy. Secondly, it’s never too _________ for them to learn the new chores. However, asking kids _________ chores is not robbing (剥夺) their happiness. They can make them _________ that life has too much joy and too many problems. Finally, it does help. I feel that Mary likes doing __________ and she helps me a lot.
