《2025年聪明屋寒暑假作业系列丛书暑假作业八年级英语》

Ⅱ. For teenagers, they usually stay at home alone during the vacation. How do they spend a day when their parents aren't at home? Read the passage and answer the questions.
Imagine this: your parents will go to some places on business, and you have to stay at home alone. Would life be as easy as when your parents are at home? Would it be a perfect holiday for you?
"I can make some tomato and egg soup, but that's all. I think many of my classmates are the same. We don't know what to do, or how to look after ourselves," said Yuan Meng. "And I will probably forget something important to do."
"As soon as I leave home, I'll learn to cook. But now our parents do almost everything for us. We're too lazy," she said.
Most teenagers only have time for their homework. They don't learn any life skills until they go to college.
However, Jia Qi doesn't think so.
"I think I'd be all right. I wouldn't just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to make some simple dishes that my mom taught me," Jia Qi said. In his opinion, many teenagers depend too much on their parents, and there are more skills to learn than cooking, like tidying up your room or even dressing yourself properly.
