A) Is it a good idea for teenagers to help their parents with household chores? In my opinion, teenagers, who help their parents with house works, gain some important skills, which can be used in adult life. The way I see it, both parents and teachers should encourage teenager’s aspiration in learning how to keep house clean.

To start with, when a teenage boy or girl helps his or her parents cleaning the house or doing other household chores, they are preparing for adult life. Also, the next generation of adults can save some money, because they don’t need to call the cleaning company, they can do with their own hands.

In addition to this, teenagers who can and do housework by themselves are independent individuals and it has several advantages. Firstly, teen’s parents will appreciate the orderliness, which came in their apartment. This skill will definitely need in life, as when a teenager becomes an adult, he will keep house by own. Secondly, during the summer holiday he or she can earn some pocket money, by working in a cleaning company. In summer some people prefer to relax and this makes them to call experts, who will tidy their home.

On the other hand, some people consider, that teenagers who usually have to do household chores, cannot go out to play with friends, because they will come home and bring dirt into the house.

To conclude, the way I see it, teenagers should help with household chores. He or she learns independent housekeeping, when they help their parents. Why not to learn some important life lessons at the early age?

Перевод:

Нужно ли подросткам своим родителям с выполнением домашних дел? Я считаю, подростки, которые своим родителям

с домашними обязанностями, получают некоторые важные навыки, которые могут быть использованы ими во взрослой жизни. Как мне кажется, и родители, и учителя должны поощрять подростков, чтобы узнать, как сохранить свой дом в чистоте. Как мне кажется, и родители, и учителя должны поощрять стремление подростка в том, как сохранить свой дом в чистоте.

Начнем с того, что когда парень-подросток или девушка своим родителям с уборкой по дому или с другие домашними делами, они готовятся к взрослой жизни. Кроме того, следующее поколение взрослых может сэкономить деньги, потому что они не будут должны вызвать клининговую компанию, они смогут сделать всё своими руками.

В дополнение к этому, подростки, которые могут и выполняют работу по дому, сами являются независимыми личностями и это имеет ряд преимуществ. Во-первых, родители подростка оценят порядок, который настал в их квартире. Этот навык, безусловно, необходим в жизни, а когда подросток станет взрослым, он будет самостоятельно вести домашнее хозяйство. Во-вторых, во время летних каникул он или она может заработать деньги на карманные расходы, работая в клининговой компании. Летом многие люди предпочитают отдыхать, и это заставляет их вызывать экспертов, которые будут прибирать их дом.

С другой стороны, некоторые люди считают, что подростки, которые обычно имеют отношение к приборке по дому, не могут выйти погулять, поиграть с друзьями, потому что они придут домой и могут принести грязь в чистый дом.

В заключение, как я считаю, подростки должны с домашними делами. Он или она учится независимости в плане приборки, когда они своим родителям. Почему бы и не получить некоторые важные уроки жизни в раннем возрасте?
