拿这个吗”或者“你可以帮我做那个吗”2做家务可以帮助孩子养成独立的品格，而且可以教会他们如何照顾自己。也可以帮助他们理解公平的意义。既然他们与父母住在同一个屋子里，他们就应该参与家务劳动，保持家里干净整洁。我的领居的孩

子进入了一所好的大学，但在第一年，他不知道怎么照顾自己，结果是常常生病，成绩下降。因此，孩子越早学会独立，对自己的未来越好。Unit4【重点词组】1.talkto2.toomuchhomework3.tooma

展不好。在我看来，父母应该与孩子讨论是否愿意去参加课外辅导班。我相信如果父母尊重孩子，将会有个好的结果。或许交流沟通对父母与孩子都是有用的。如果孩子有更多的时间来放松自我，为自己考虑，他们将会有一个快乐的童年。Unit7【重点词组】1.intheworld2
