TOEFL independent writing Question: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should be required to help with household tasks as soon as they are able to do so. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. My answer: By doing households tasks our children become more independent! I believe that children have to be required to do some stuff at home as soon as possible. Therefore, children become independent and also they should be appreciative their family. In this essay I’m going to go through both of reasons. By doing some stuff at home, we start prepare for our future life. What I’m trying to say is we will not always live with our parents. And one day we will get married and do the same things as we did in parent’s house. As a result, do households tasks is helpful for our children. My own experience is a good example for this situation. I remember when I was a child, I always help my mother such as cleaning the house, washing dishes, cook foods etc. Finally, I grow up and now I’m living alone. Therefore, I can do everything by myself at home without someone’s helps. Sometimes our parents ask do some stuff at home, not because they need help, but because, they want we become independent. Moreover, our family care about us every day and every moment. So in my opinion, helping them is our responsibility. We should help them as soon as possible and be appreciative. Actually, do some stuff at home is small thing that we can do for them. By helping them, we show our love and it’s very important in the family. For instance, if we compare two children, one who helps his or her parent’s at home and another who doesn’t, we will see they absolutely different. The one who helps his or her family’s, is respect them and ready to do everything for them, just to show his or her love. In contrast to the first ones, other is not seem to be thankful to his or her parents. Therefore, we have to help our parents and love them. In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that helping our family is very important. As I said above, we could be independent and also show our love to them. We also should respect and take care of them! So, lets passionately help our family and be good children for them.
