Do you agree or disagree with
the following statement? Children should be required to help with household
tasks as soon as they are able to do so. Use specific reasons and examples to
support your answer.
The issue about
whether children should help with household tasks as soon as they are able to
do so is open for debate. Some people say that children should devote more time
for playing with their friends, watching TV and studying. However, other people
believe that children should help their parents with household tasks.
Personally, for several reasons, which I will explain bellow, I adhere to the
latter point of view.
First of all, I think
that every child should have his or her own responsibilities. When I was a
child my parents taught me how to make breakfast in the morning. So, I woke up,
went to the kitchen and prepared a couple of toasts for breakfast. It was easy
and I enjoyed doing it because I liked the way my parents thanked me and I felt
that they were proud of me. Also, my mom always wanted me to know how to cook,
clean and iron my cloth. Thanks to the learning, nowadays, when my maid can not
come to my house I handle all household tasks myself.
Second of all,
performing household tasks teaches children to value the job of people who did
it. When I was a child I did not imagine that cleaning house could be so time
and energy consuming. So, when I began to do some of the household tasks by
myself I began to respect the job of others and tryed to collect all my toys
after my playing with them.
Finally, doing
household tasks teaches children to arrange their time. In addition to those
practical benefits, help from children allows parents to have more spare time
for their personal lives and for the children. A family can have more time to
spend with each other talking, watching movies or just enjoying the beautiful
moments.
To sum up, I think
that children should help their parents with household tasks. Doing household
tasks helps them to grow into independent, self-confident, and attentive
persons who respect their parents.
