Title: Sharing Chores
Many children don’t do household chores because they think it is not important. But when
children grow up and live alone, they can’t manage work such as cooking and cleaning.
My 24-year-old brother comes home on the weekends with a big bag of laundry. He
complains to my mom about food and his dirty apartment. I think it is because he never
helped with chores at home. Parents don’t share work with their children so they can study
and do well at school.
But this is wrong. Children don’t have to do everything. They can start with work like
folding clothes and putting toys in their place. If children help at home, it makes them
responsible, independent and better team players.
I think it is important that children help with household chores so they are better prepared
for the future.

B. Answers may vary. Sample answer:
Similarity: Both Ramesh and Amit were bright students.
Difference: Ramesh was from a rich family, but Amit was from a poor family.
C. Answers may vary. Sample answer:
The author is telling us about inequality in the education system. In the story, Amit
could go to a good school, but often the bright children of poor families do not get the
same opportunities.
OR
The bright children of poor families are often left behind.
D. Answers may vary. Sample answer:
I felt bad knowing that Amit didn’t get the scholarship, despite faring well in the exams.
Every student, rich or poor, deserves a good education. Amit is not only my best friend,
but also a sincere and hard-working student. I think what happened is unfair.
