Helping about the house

Helping about the house

I live with my mother and father. Everyone in our family has his household duties. For example, my Mum always cooks breakfast and dinner for us, does the laundry and the grocery shopping. Of course, I have some duties too. They are simple, but important.

Now I am … years old. When I was younger, and didn’t go to school, my Mum often asked me to help her about the house. Of course, it was a kind of a game for me, but I learned to wash dishes, to sweep the floor and dust the furniture. Now I have grown up a little, and I can do much more.

Every day I do my room and my bed, wash up dishes, dust the furniture and take out the rubbish. If I have time, my mother asks me to go to the shop. I go there and buy bread, eggs, sugar and so on. The shop is not far from our house and it doesn't take me long to do everyday shopping. Very often I go to the market with my mother. We buy some vegetables and fruits. Then I help my mother to carry them. Once a week I help my mother to do all other work about the house. We sweep and wash the floor, dust all the furniture, clean the mirrors in the bathroom and in the hall, and beat the carpet all together. After that I am allowed to go for a walk, or watch TV, or do whatever I want.

It's not difficult to keep the flat clean if you do your rooms regularly. This is my usual round of duties. When my mother is ill or away from home I do the cooking, too. I’m not a good cook, but I can cook some simple dishes. For example, I can make fried potatoes, pancakes or fried eggs with tomatoes. I am especially good at making sandwiches and salads. Sometimes I help my Mum to cook something more complicated, such as soup or meat.

Last year I was at my grandparents' in the village. They are elderly people and need our care and attention. During my stay there I swept the floors and washed them, fed the chickens, collected the eggs and weeded the vegetable-beds. I didn't learn to milk the cow but I helped to feed the other animals: lambs, sheep and pigs. I enjoyed this work very much.

So, as you see, my household duties are not very numerous, and they are rather simple. I know that some of my friends don’t help their parents at all, but, in my opinion, it is not right. Doing household chores is a necessary part of our life. My parents are often tired and I must take care of them. Everybody is happy when the home is always bright and clean.
