【超级口语十分钟｜ Doing housework 做家务】

问题：In your country, do parents give children money for doing housework? 高分回答：This question is quite funny because parents in our country don’t even let their children do housework, much less give them money for it. Chinese parents only want their children to excel in school, so they only fill up their children’s schedules with academic tasks, like signing up their children for cram schools and stuff. They never realize the fact that there are plenty of things that children need to learn aside from all the book knowledge, and sharing family responsibility is definitely one of them. I think that children should be taught to do housework without receiving any form of compensation, because they are part of the family as well, and they are obligated to do these household tasks. But unfortunately, if we look at the big picture, Chinese parents are totally neglecting this aspect of education, and that’s really sad. 语料积累 重点词汇 compensation n. 补偿、回报 obligated adj. 有义务的 neglect v. 忽略 高分表达 much less 更别提 excel in sth. 在某领域做得很好 fill up 填满 sign up 报名、参加 cram school 补习班 sharing responsibility 共同承担责任 关注超级学长，更多雅思音频等你来听！
