    Can you access www.nickjr.com/kids-videos ?  It might be too basic, but there a tv shows like Dora the Explorer you could watch.  The language is very simple because the shows are meant for young children :)

    Formal letter

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I am going to go to Seville in the first weekend of December and I don’t have any place to sleep there. I am writing to you because i would like to know information (either "know more" or "find out information")about the hotel.

    Firstly, I am interested in knowing if there will be available rooms for this date and if there are offers to me any offers available. (No need to say "to me," that's understood.)

    Secondly, I wonder if this hotel has any activities for children under 4 years old because we are a family with a son and we would want to have some free time.

    Thirdly, would you also mind telling me what places we should visit there? Furthermore, we are very interested in the food and the installations of the hotel, because my wife loves the spa and we would like to fun find a spa treatment.

    Finally, I hope you might also let me know about the prize price of the whole weekend. Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

    I look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.

    Faithfully,

     

    Very well written!  This is just a personal preference, but even in a formal letter, I would use first, second, third, etc. instead of firstly, secondly, thirdly.  Both are correct, but at least in American English, the -ly is pretty uncommon.  Firstly is especially rare.  Some start with first, then use secondly, thirdly, etc.

    Children should not have to work or help with household tasks because they should focus on their study.

    Education is important to all children because they are beginners who just started learning about their lives. Many parents think education is solely related to gaining knowledge so they put a heavy weight on their children’s study and sometimes even do not let them do household tasks. In my opinion, however, doing (work at home or household tasks) can be another way of studying for the following reasons.

    First of all, it helps children to think in a broader way about their lives. Our children will not remain students forever but they will grow up and become like their parents. Learning from books cannot teach them how to deal with their lives and they should know how to manage their lives without their parents too. The knowledge gained from household tasks will be helpful when children become adults and have their own house and family. Parents should let children face the world in which they live by teaching them practical knowledge through household tasks.

    Secondly, children can learn many things from household tasks such as a sense of responsibility, independence and partnership. When parents give their children a task, for example to water a plant, they have to do this work continuously and they will notice if they do not carry the task, the plant will wither and die. Children will also realize that the task given to them cannot be done by anyone else, but only by themselves. But when there is a problem that children cannot handle alone, they will know that sometimes they have to ask for help from their parents or a person who can work with them together. This example shows us what children can learn from doing household tasks.

    Education not only means knowledge we learn from a book but also includes the experience we learn from our lives. It is not good to keep children from household tasks where they can broaden their life experience.  and They can learn many important attributes through their work at home.  Thus, children should help with household tasks for the reasons I stated above.

     

    Very nice essay!
