The London Eye is one of the more famous structures rising on the landscape of London. It is
an enormous Ferris wheel that sits on the south bank of the River Thames. It is on the west end
of Jubilee Gardens on the South Bank and it stands roughly 135 metres in height. The wheel
itself has a diameter of 120 metres.The wheel itself has a diameter of 120 metres. It is by far the tallest
structure of its kind in the European Union.

The London Eye offers an incredible panoramic view of the city and its surrounding
countryside. On clear days it is possible to see out over 24 miles, although the sun can
hinder views of certain parts of London.

The entry fare includes the “4D Experience”, a short film in three dimensions about
London.

On the downside, it is quite pricey and sometimes the line can be over an hour long
(especially in spring and summer). The easiest way to avoid the long queues is to buy
skip the line tickets. 

In many modern day families, it is a common aspect of family life that parents give jobs to their
children to do around the house to develop their characters and a sense of self-sufficiency. This aspect
can be looked at as having both positive and negative sides.

When parents give their children jobs or chores to do around the house, they make their children
understand that they are part of a community. While this community is only within the family’s house,
the lessons children learn from carrying out their chores are equally fitting for the global community
they live in. Children are taught that they have to integrate into the global community and that in
order for this community to work effectively, everyone must carry out their chores.

Furthermore, children learn about the concept of pride, as they are taught to be proud of what they
have accomplished. Chores around the house additionally prepare children for living independently
later on in life, as they acquire skills that are valuable for everyday life. I, personally, see this
approach as very practical; helping my mother with cooking in my childhood and teenage years
served me well, and living independently now I don’t have trouble preparing meals for myself and my
housemates.

Although there are many supporters of this concept, some parents argue that children should not be
given jobs to do around the house. They argue that children should be allowed to be children and not
have any duties. In their opinion children should enjoy their childhood and should not have to deal
with any of the responsibilities adults have to deal with.

In conclusion, I believe that giving children chores to carry out is a positive aspect of family life, as I
think that it helps children to become independent and makes it easier for them to live by themselves
later on in life.
