We Should Learn to Do Housework

Housework is often too heavy for our parents， especially for our mothers. Although we are very busy working at our lessons， I think we should do some housework for our parents， because our parents are also busy and tired after a day's work. They care for us and we should care for them too. What's more， doing housework also can [can also] （1） help us learn to look after ourselves and make our tired brains relax.

　　But， now， many parents don't let their daughters or sonsdo anything， because they hope that their children can have more time for lessons so that they can go to university and then have good jobs. But some of them [us] （2）don't make good use of the time. They just take it for granted that the housework is something done by parents. In other words， they don't value the time， or rather， they are just wasting the time.

　　I think we should study hard every day in order to learn all the lessons well. At the same time， we should also do some housework every day. It is good for us. Now we are not small children any longer. We should spend our some spare time [some of our spare time ] （3 ） on housework to reduce our parents' burdens.

　　评 语

　　文章向广大学生朋友提出了值得认真思考的问题：如何利用好父母亲为我们辛勤创造的学习时间？是否应该力所能及地帮助父母亲承担一些家务？作者在用事实反驳了错误观点后，正面提出了自己对这些问题的看法。文中某些语言上的不足之处点评修改如下：

　　（1）also放在情态动词can后为好。

　　（2）them指代不清，顺前文读来，可能误认为指parentS.

　　（3）从语法上来看，所有格和some均为中位限定词，不能并排使用，故改之。
