Dear friend,

Your last letter contains a relatable issue of many teenagers in the world and I completely understand this problem. Since I've been friends with you for a long time, I believe it is my duty to help you solve it.

Indeed, every single parent in the world is relying on their children's - mostly teenagers' - help with housework. My opinion on that is completely positive and I think it is necessary for every teenager to help their parents with the house-cleaning routine, as it educates further independence in teenagers from a young age and teaches them to be a kind person who's always ready to help their loved and respected ones.

I, myself, do not have any problems associated with this issue with my family, because I clearly understand the benefit of helping your parents.

My householding duties are plain and simple - I wash the dishes every two days, clean the dust from shelves everyday and clean the floor three days a week. It can actually be pretty fun, even! I listen to music while performing my duties and work becomes pleasant. Try using the same technique as me and believe me, you'll enjoy cleaning the house!

Sincerely, your friend (твое имя).

Giving the ideal speaking is a matter of cofidience in yourself and in what you are going to say. Its success lies in your careful preparation. Note down your key points but don't try to read the whole thing word . It may give you a sense of security of doing this, but when you start reading it it will sound unnatural. Keep il brief. It's no good saying afterwards; "I gave it well but they fell asleep". Begin your talk with a few thoghts or phrases, or even a joke. Being a beginner you'll show your nervousness in your face as you wonder whether your joke will be successful. Be a top-class speaker, not an amateur comedian.
