学生应做家务吗

　　Should Students Do Some HousewoPk? 　　1．有的家长认为学生应该做家务； 　　2．有的家长认为学生不应该做家务； 　　3．我的想法。 　　主张孩子应做家务的家长认为做家务可促进智力发展；另一些家长却持相反意见，认为学习是最重要的，做家务耗时费力；然而，我却认为学生应适当做些家务，因为这可使他们有责任感，承担起家庭一员应尽的义务；还可使他们更好地理解父母持家的辛苦，同时做家务也是一种体力活，可在学习之余放松身心。 　　Some parents think that it is necessary and sometimes important for students to do some housework. Housework is a kind of physical exercise necessary for mental development. Other parents, however, think that it is study that is of extreme importance to students. Priority shou[d first and foremost be given to study both at school and at home. Hence students should be exempt from any tedious and time-consuming housework. 　　I think students should share some housework with their parents. The reasons are as follows. First, doing some housework can enable the students to have some sense of responsibility. There is a lot of housework in each family. As a member of the family, each one should do his or her share. Since a student is a member of the family, undoubtedly, he is of no exception. In the second place, doing some housework can give the student opportunities to get to know his parents better. By doing housework, a student will know how hard it is for his parents to go to work everyday while raising a 　　family. He will make even greater efforts in his study later on. Finally, doing some housework can give the student a chance to do some physicalexercises. Since the student has to sit studying most of the time, this is certainly beneficial to his health. 　　In light of the above, I strongly recommend that those who are not in the habit of doing housework start doing some right now. Your parents will be pleased and you will learn something from it.
