Q: Lately, the number of families who take advantage of housekeeping services is increasing. On the other hand, some families do housework by themselves. Discuss both views and give your opinions. Write at least 250 words.

Nowadays, the number of families is increasing, who ask for housekeeping service companies to do housework. On the other hand, some families do their housework spontaneously. I think both situations have several advantages and disadvantages. This essay will explain the merits and demerits of both situations.

On the one hand, housekeeping services support their housework strongly. In a nutshell, they improve housework efficiency. Therefore, families can devote other professional work. To illustrate, write articles, translate into other languages, and talk with their children (or elderly members). Also, families can learn a knack for housework. For instance, the housekeeping service can teach them how to make excellent meals from some leftovers. Besides, it is also a good advantage for spontaneous families to do housework. For instance, they can obtain how to communicate with other people through housework. These skills would be the basis of social skills.

On the other hand, several disadvantages exist in both viewpoints. First, some members of families possess cherished goods or items. Therefore, they are concerned about the housekeeping service coming into their room. As a result, some families hesitate to request cleaning services. Also, it is tough for spontaneous families to do housework. For example, parents can not reconcile work and life, if they have irregular shifts (or schedules). As a result, they would be in an uncomfortable relationship.

To sum up, it is a good attempt for families to ask for housework for housekeeping services. However, it is also a good advantage for them to learn housework by themselves.
