1. Have you got a householding duty? What is it? What householding duties do other members of your family have?

Yes, I have some householding duties. I help my parents to keep our home clean and tidy. Every day I make my bed, wash the dishes and tidy my room. Sometimes I vacuum the floor, take out the rubbish and water the flowers.

Other members of my family also have their householding duties. My mother usually cooks meals, washes clothes and cleans the house. My father does the shopping, takes out the rubbish and repairs things when necessary. My brother or sister helps with cleaning and washing the dishes.

3. Is your mother the busiest person in doing chores? Prove that. Who is the greatest helping hand for your mother?

Yes, I think my mother is the busiest person in our family because she does a lot of housework every day. She cooks breakfast, lunch and dinner, washes clothes, irons them, cleans the rooms and takes care of the whole family. Besides, she has her own job and other responsibilities.

I try to help her as much as I can. I think I am her greatest helping hand because I wash the dishes, clean my room, vacuum the floor and do other small chores. I believe that all family members should share household duties.

4. Do you write notes to each other to remember things to do?

Yes, sometimes we write notes to each other to remember important things. For example, my mother can leave a note asking me to buy some bread, water the flowers or clean my room. We also make shopping lists so that we do not forget anything. It is very convenient because notes help us organize our daily activities.

5. Have you got any machines to help in householding?

Yes, we have several household appliances that make our everyday life easier. We have a washing machine, a dishwasher, a vacuum cleaner, a microwave oven, a fridge and an electric kettle. The washing machine helps us wash clothes, the dishwasher washes the dishes, and the vacuum cleaner helps us clean the floors. These machines save us a lot of time and energy.

6. What does your morning look like?

My morning usually starts at about seven o'clock. First, I wake up, make my bed and open the window to air the room. Then I wash my face, brush my teeth and get dressed. After that, I have breakfast and drink a cup of tea. I prepare my school things and get ready to go to school. Before leaving home, I make sure that everything is in order.

7. Can you make tea? How do you do it?

Yes, of course, I can make tea. It is very easy. First, I take an electric kettle, fill it with water and switch it on. While the water is boiling, I take a cup and put a tea bag into it. Then I pour hot water into the cup and let the tea brew for three or four minutes. After that, I add some sugar or lemon if I want. Finally, I take out the tea bag and enjoy my cup of hot tea.

I think doing household chores is very important because all family members should help each other. When everyone does their part of the housework, it becomes easier to keep the home clean, comfortable and cosy.
