Language Points
1.It is the parents' job to provide a clean and comfortable envieonment at home for their chileren
此处代词it仅为形式上的周，真正的主语是to provide...for their chileren。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）”。如：
It's every teacher's job explain things clearly to the students.
把东西给学生讲明白是每一位老师应该做的事情。
provide 作动词，意为“提供；供应”。provide sb.with sth.或provide sth.for sb.意为“为某人提供某物”。如：
The movie theater provide us with good service.
His school provided a house for him.
汉译英。他们提供给钱和衣服。
They provided him with money and clothes.
They provided money and clothes for him.

2.And anyway,I think doing chores is not so difficult.
反正我觉得干点家务也不难。
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”。
如：Sam didn't get the job,but he's not unhappy because it didn't pay well anyway.
    萨姆没有得到那份工作，但他并没有闷闷不乐。反正薪酬也不算高。
anyway还可用来表示“不管怎样；无论如何”之意。
如：It's just a cold.But anyway,you should still see the doctor.
    这只不过是感冒，但不管怎样，你还是应该看看医生。

3.ill&sick
相同点：ill与sick都可以表示“生病的”，都可作表语。
如：Alice was ill/sick yesterday.
不同点：表示“生病”时，sick可作定语，但ill通常不作定语。
如：Could you help the sick girl?
[运用]根据句意，用ill或sick填空。
(1)The drive sent the sick baby to the hospital.
(2)My brother is ill,I have to look after him at home.

4.The earlier kids learn to be independent,the better it is for their future.
  孩子们越早学会独立，对他们的未来就越好。
  The more he explained,the better we understood.
  他解释得越多，我们就理解得越透彻。
  Many people believe that the more a person reads,the wiser he will become.
  很多人相信一个人书读得越多就会变得越聪明。
What do you think of children who don't do chores?
what chores did you do when you had free time?
How did you feel about doing house chores?

2e Discuss the questions with a partner.
1.Which letter do you agree with? Why?
2.What would you say to the person who wrote the letter you don't agree with?
Doing chores helps to develop chilsren's independence and teaches them how to look after themselves.It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness.
