Household chores. // #EnglishLearners

Household chores I think nobody likes it when his house is in a mess. Doing household chores and keeping the house clean and cozy are necessary in every flat. My parents work hard and they get rather tired after work. So it goes without saying that they don’t have to manage all the housework and I have to help them. The proverb says: “Many hands make light work“, and I agree with it. In my opinion it’s not a bad idea to share the household chores between the members of the family. Everyone in our family has some household chores. For instance, the children should keep their own rooms tidy, make their beds, lay the table and do the washing up. Mother could then better concentrate on other chores, such as cooking or ironing. And father should do more difficult physical work. In my opinion sharing the household chores can make a family more united. My daily chores are making my bed, washing up, tidying my room in the evening, cleaning my shoes and taking out the rubbish. This is my usual routine. I also pick up my little sister from the kindergarten. Fortunately, I don’t have to cook any food because my mum and granny do that and they really enjoy cooking. I just sometimes help them and lay the table. Once or twice a week my mother asks me to go shopping to the nearest food supermarket. I usually buy some bread, milk, fruits and vegetables. Once a week, on Sundays my parents have a big cleaning. There is a lot of work to do: dusting the furniture, ironing the clothes, mopping the floor, clearing out the bathroom and the kitchen. I am busy with vacuum-cleaning the carpets in our bedrooms and cleaning the mirrors. I don’t consider my household chores difficult and I can cope with them easily, but sometimes I feel a bit lazy. What is more, our family never argues about sharing household chores. And I believe that it’s quite necessary and essential to help your parents about the house.
