Let's help our parents do chores

Dear students，

Helping our parents do chores is one of the best ways to care about them. Our parents are always busy with work. They are tired after work, but they still have to do chores. If we help them do some chores, they'll have more time to rest. And sharing housework can help us understand our parents better. So we should help them do housework as much as we can. In fact, we can help do lots of chores at home. For example, we could make the bed, clean up the room, wash clothes, do the dishes and take out the rubbish.

Doing chores is not difficult, but it means a lot. From now on, let's help our parents do chores.
