Unit 8. Chores.

Shall we magazine?

Share the housework. Share the happiness.

Hello.

My name is Mary.

I'm an English teacher at a secondary school, and I have a very busy life.

I live in Istanbul with my husband Martin, my daughter's Lily and Linda, and my son Bruce.

We are a happy family because we always share the responsibilities in our house.

Everybody has different responsibilities, and I make a chart of our duties.

I'm responsible for cooking the dishes and doing the laundry.

I also iron the clothes on Sundays.

Vacuming the carpets is Linda's responsibility.

She also loads and empties the dishwasher every day.

Lily is in charge of mopping the floor, cleaning the bathroom and setting the table.

Martin takes the children to school.

He mustn't forget to pay the bills and do the grocery shopping.

It's Bruce's task to take out the garbage every day.

He also tidies his own room and feeds the cat.

He does some easy chores because he is only ten years old.

I think it's necessary to share the chores at home because it makes our lives easier.

We must always help and respect each other for a happier life.

Sharing the chores also teaches children to be responsible.

I want to teach my children the importance of sharing the tasks at home.
