No one here as a teenager that is a child, do they?
If not, do you remember being a teenager?
What does "Help out around the house" mean?
What does "Help out around the house" mean?
I know what all of those mean..
"Housework" and "Homework" are different
So let's see what the teenagers say about parents...
nag = 唠叨
Oftentimes parents will "nag" their children, and husbands and wifes will "nag" each other.
Which of these complaints (from the parents and teenagers) seems reasonable?
合理 ... 不合理....
So you think: "It's reasonable that parents complain about teenagers not helping out around the house and listening to their advice."
Teenagers need their personal space ...
So parents shouldn't bother them too much about their homework.
Generally, I side with the parents..
Even though I remember being a teenager.
How about Number 2?
Turn __________ off, please.
Is there something else it could be?
Maybe it's the lights, I see one other possible answer.
Clean ___________ up, please.
Clean the yard up, please.
Please turn down....
You could also say "turn down the lights" in some situations
Which means, "make the lights darker."
"Turn down the lights" is often used in romantic situations
"Take out" means you take it outside, and you leave it outside...
There's only one possible answer here
So if I ask you, "Please turn down the TV."
How would you respond?
If you look at the top... it's best to use "it" here
Okay. I'll turn it down.
How about .....
Clean the yard up, please.
There are some other things you can say too.
"Okay, I'll clean it up this afternoon."
If you're a teenager, you can also say: ""Okay, I'll clean it up later"
"at once" is a little too "积极的" ...
Haha, it sounds weird
That's a very common sentence in America families
A: Please take out the trash.
B: I'll do it later.
If you want to say that you will do it
say a 具体的时间
"I'll do it tonight after dinner."
"I'll do it tomorrow morning before work."
That's good
"I'll do it later" is 拖延
Easy homework tonight, I know everyone is busy
