Read the text “HOUSEHOLD CHORES”
Doing work about the house is often called ‘doing chores’. Doing chores helps a family to keep up
their house or in other words ‘to household’. Usually each member of a family has got a household
duty. It means he or she has got a part of chores to do. There are the things like feeding a pet,
cleaning the carpets or doing shopping…
At weekends my friend’s family members are rarely all at home at the same time, so they write notes
to each other. They help to remember things to do.
My mother is the busiest person in doing household chores. And I must admit1 my elder sister is the
greatest helping hand for her.
Every morning my mother cooks breakfast. She fries some eggs in frying pan. My sister sometimes
boils sausages in a small pot. When the eggs are ready, mum serves them to us with nicely-decorated
salad and boiled sausages. While my mother is doing that, my sister is cutting some bread and taking
out a teapot, cups and plates.
When water in a kettle boils, my sister puts some tea into the teapot, pours some boiling water into
the pot and the tea is ready.
Sometimes my mum prefers coffee to tea. Then my father prepares it. He is good at making coffee. I
never drink coffee. I prefer tea. My sister sometimes drinks coffee with milk or cream. After breakfast
I go to my school and my father goes to his offi ce. My sister puts the dishes into dishwasher to clean
and dry them. My mum cleans the table and takes off the tablecloth. My sister puts clean cups and
dishes onto the cupboard and goes to her work. And what about mum? She stays at home and does
lots of things about the house. There is always something to do, a woman’s work is never done…
