The Sunday Mailmagazine invited parents to write about whether they think young people should do chores at home. Skim the following letters. Which one agrees and which one disagrees? 了解阅读策略： Skimming 意为“快速掠过，从中提取最容易取得的精华”。这种读法包含有原词的所有意思——快速读过去，取出读物中关键性的东西。因此，我们可以把这种读法理解为快速浏览课文，领会文章大意。一般而言，通过标题可知道文章的主题。对文章的首段和末段要多加注意，以便发现作者的观点。Answer the questions.

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: anyway 还可用来表示“不管怎样; 无论如何”之意。例如: 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。 4. The earlie
