Do you think doing chores is an interesting thing? As we all know, doing chores helps to improve children’s living skills and teaches them how to look after themselves.
What kinds of chores do you usually do around the house?
After a heavy snowfall in winter, children also play an important role in doing outdoor chores. They help shovel (铲) snow in their front yard.

Walking in the door, he found an even bigger mess. In the living room, the TV was turned up loud. There were toys and clothes all over the places.

【推荐3】I hated asparagus (芦笋)! But my parents had it for our dinner again. I ate up the other food and only left the asparagus on the plate. When I tried to leave the dinner table, my dad said to me, “You must eat all of that asparagus.”
I slowly put the asparagus into my mouth. I couldn’t stand it. I asked my brother for help. But he refused. After several minutes of thinking, an idea came to me. I hid some of the asparagus in a piece of paper and put it in my cat’s food dish. She ate the asparagus and threw up after about half an hour. My parents quickly took her to the animal hospital. I then felt sad and worried.
Two hours later, my parents returned with the cat. Then she had a talk with me. She said, “Honey, I know you didn’t mean to make the cat sick, but you should learn from your mistake!”
Mom told me she knew I didn’t like asparagus, but that eating a balanced diet was good for my health. And feeding the cat asparagus wasn’t good. She hoped I wouldn’t do that again.
After half an hour, Mom ended the talk and said, “Oh, we’re having asparagus for tomorrow’s lunch! I hope you can learn to cook asparagus with me. You may find it not so bad.
