It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible(有责任的) for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.
If you give your children the impression(印象) that they can never do anything right, then they will treat themselves as unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent(独立).

You can use the same way when you evaluate(评价) your child's work at home. Do not always scold but give lots of praise to your children instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn't done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
Learning is a process(过程) of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.

People know the danger of fires. It is good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions (建议).
Put a smoke alarm(警报) in the house. The alarm makes a loud sound when there is too much smoke in the house. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
Make escape (逃脱) plans. They should know all the way out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. One part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.
Buy fire extinguishers(灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.
Practise for a fire. Parents do fire practice because they teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules.
★Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.

It is most difficult for parents to decide to have a second child. Someone says that a single child is likely to be a lonely child.

Earth Day is April 22．But on all other days，we must also remember it．The water we use is the most important natural resource(自然资源)on the earth．
Water covers 70％ of the earth’s surface(表面)．But most of that is sea water．We can’t use it for many things．Fresh water covers only 1％ of the earth’s surface．
You probably feel lucky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga’s．But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about water．We all face serious water problems．One of them is water pollution．All kinds of things from cars，factories，farms and homes make our rivers，lakes，and oceans dirty．Polluted water is very bad for people to drink．And dirty water is bad for fish，too．Now，34％ of all kinds of fish are dying out．
How do cars and factories make our water dirty？First，they pollute the air．Then，when it rains，the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty．Dirty rain，called acid rain(酸雨)，is also bad for plants，animals and buildings．
Scientists say that in 30 years，more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water．We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children．Here is some advice for saving water：
● Turn off the water while you brush your teeth．You can save as much as 450 liters(升)each month．
● Leaky taps(漏水的水龙头)waste a lot of water．Fix them right away！
● You can easily cut your 10-minute showers(沐浴)in half—and you’ll be just as clean．
● When you wash dishes，don’t let the water run．
● Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash．If your washing machine isn’t full，you’re wasting water！
