Section B 3a~Self Check Read the two letters to get the main opinions of the parents To learn new words: stress, waste, provide, anyway, depend, develop, fairness, since, neighbor, ill, drop, fair, unfair… The Sunday Mail magazine invited parents to write about whether they think young people should do chores at home. Skim the two letters on page 22. Which one agrees and which one disagrees? 2b Mr. Smith agrees and Ms. Miller doesn’t agree. 2c According to Ms. Miller and Mr. Smith, what are the pros and cons about kids doing chores? Pros Cons Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence. It teaches them how to look after themselves. It helps them to understand the idea of fairness.

It仅为形式上的主语，真正的主语是to provide…for their children。我们也可将It is one’s job (duty, …) to do something. 视为一个固定的句型， 表示“做某事是某人的工作(职责等)”。 Practise 把东西给学生讲明白是每一位老师应做的事情。 It’s every teacher’s job to explain things clearly to the students. 3. Anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. anyway是一个副词，若位于句首，其后往往会有逗号将其与句子的其他内容隔开。anyway在此句中的作用是追加评论，相当于汉语的“反正；仍然；依然”。 我左右闲着没事，
