Unit 8, exercise 15, read and listen to the dialogue.

Hello, Tiffany.

What's up?

You seem annoyed.

Yes, Sonia.

I feel annoyed and nervous.

Why?

What's wrong?

I have a 14 -year -old daughter and a 16 -year -old son.

They don't help me with the chores at home.

I think my kids are not responsible.

How can I make my kids help me do the household chores?

How did you teach your kids to do the chores?

Don't worry, Tiffany.

I think you should first teach them the importance of helping

and reward them when they do some chores.

They should learn their responsibilities one by one.

I mean, you should give them their responsibilities step by step.

They can sometimes take turns doing the chores.

I am sure your kids can do the chores if you explain them their responsibilities step by step.

Do you really think so?

Of course.

But be careful.

You should be fair and encouraging when you teach them.

Yes, I got it.

Finally, you shouldn't get angry when they make a mistake.

They will learn in time.

You're right.

Thank you for your advice.
