Answer 1

Dear Ben,

Don't worry! We all make mistakes sometimes.

I think children should help their parents with the housework! I never  quarrel with my parents because of the   housework.  I always make my bed and

go shopping if my Mum asks me to. Sometimes I wash the dishes and take the rubbish out. I usually help my Dad to wash the car and I also help my parents with our garden. My free time I often spend with my best friends . We go to the cinema and to the  river. I am fond of sports too. Especially swimming and riding a bike.

What about you? What do you usually do in your free time?

What kinds of sports and music do you like?

Hope to hear from you soon. Keep in touch.

Best wishes,

Denis

Дорогой Бен,

Не волнуйся! Мы все иногда ошибаемся.

Я думаю, что дети должны помогать родителям по хозяйству! Я никогда не ссорюсь с родителями из-за работы по дому. Я всегда заправляю постель и

хожу по магазинам, если мама попросит. Иногда я мою посуду и выношу мусор. Я обычно помогаю отцу мыть машину, и я также помогаю родителям с нашим садом. Свободное время я часто провожу с лучшими друзьями. Мы ходим в кино и к реке. Я  увлекаюсь спортом. Особенно плаванием и ездой на велосипеде.

А ты? Чем ты обычно занимаешься в свободное время?

Какие виды спорта и музыки ты любишь?

Надеюсь получить ответ в ближайшее время. Поддерживай связь.

Наилучшие пожелания,

Денис

Answer 2

Dear Ben,

I hope this letter finds you well. I'm sorry to hear that you had a quarrel with your mum. It's completely normal to have disagreements sometimes, especially when it comes to chores and personal preferences. Regarding your question about whether children should help their parents with the housework, I believe it's important for children to contribute to the household responsibilities. By helping out, children learn valuable life skills, develop a sense of responsibility, and show appreciation for their parents' hard work.

In my own household, we have a system where everyone has assigned tasks. It helps distribute the workload evenly and ensures that everyone contributes. As for my free time, I enjoy pursuing various hobbies. I love reading books, playing musical instruments, and spending time outdoors. These activities help me relax and unwind after a long day.

I hope this answers your questions, Ben. Remember, it's important to communicate with your mum and find a balance between your interests and responsibilities. I'm sure you'll be able to work things out.

Take care and keep in touch.

Warm regards, [Your Name]
