九、书面表达。(20分)
现在的学生大部分是独生子女，学习压力大，学业负担重，很多孩子在家不做或很少做家务。同学们针对“帮助父母做家务”进行了讨论，下面是你们组的讨论记录，请你根据记录写一篇短文作值日报告，并发表自己的看法。80词左右(开头已给出，不计入总词数)。
Name Wang Bo Liu Xin Li Fei I Chores make his bed clean up rooms go shopping and make meals How often every day never sometimes often One possible version： Hello！Everyone！Let me tell you about the chores we discussed in class yesterday.There were four students in my group.Wang Bo makes his bed after getting up every day.Liu Xin doesn't like chores，so she never does any housework at home.Li Fei sometimes helps clean up rooms.As for me，I often go shopping and help my mom make meals.
In my opinion，it's necessary for us teenagers to do some chores.Firstly，when we do chores with our parents，we can understand and talk with them well.Secondly，we can learn
how to take care of ourselves.Thirdly，we can also relax ourselves from hard work at school.What's more，we should care about our parents because they're tired after a day's work.
That's all.Thanks for your listening!
