I have relatively large family : my parents, a younger brother and grandfather.
My father is 48 years old. He is a tall man with lank brown
hair and brown eyes.He works at a big international company. He's very busy. My
mother is 40 years old. She is a short woman with curly black hair, and brown
eyes.
She is a teacher, and on every second day she teaches
aerobics for women. My grandfather is at home and helps her with the housework.
My younger brother is 15 years old and goes to a nearby
secondary school. He always plays computer games.
We have a fairly big detached house with five rooms both
downstairs and upstairs.
When you enter the house there is a hall that leads to the
other rooms. Downstairs there is a big living room which has three large
windows and huge glass sliding doors leading to the terrace. My mother works at
home so the fourth room is her home office. My room is upstairs between my
brother's and parents’ bedrooms.
There is also a study for me and my brother but sometimes
our father spends his free time surfing the net there.
I make my bed every morning, and it is my job to do the
washing-up after meals. At weekends I dust the shelves in my room and hoover the flat. It is my little sister’s
job to water the plants, but she often forgets to do it, so I do it instead of her.
I like baking and really enjoy ironing. My friends find that
surprising, but I don’t mind it at all if there is some music on.
I don’t like doing the washing-up., especially big pots and
pans, but what i really hate is emptying the rubbish. The container next to the
houseis extremely dirtyand sometimes there are mice around it.
Everyday
life. Domestic chores
We are 4 in our close family, my
parents and my elder sister. We always share the work and try to help each
other. My father makes the hard work and he likes cooking so while my mum
works, he cooks. He often goes shopping, but if he hasn’t got any time, my
sister does it. She especially good at cooking and she loves to do it. My mum
work a lot but if she doesn’t work, she cleans the house and does the washing
up. Personally, I do anything around the house, e.g: hang out to dry,
washing-up, cleaning, gardening, etc. If I can I help my family on weekdays but
usually I do the housework on weekdays. What I prefer to do is the gardening. I
like the flowers, plants and care them, but I hate cleaning the windows,
because it’s so exhausting and I don’t like always paying attention to see
where is a small dirt on it.
I think
today the household appliances make much easier the everyday housework. A long
time ago there weren’t developed appliances, e.g.: microwave-ovens, hoovers,
dish-washers or modern irons so our grandparent hadn’t got the easiest thing.
Today,
every appliance works with current. There is the kitchen equipment, such as the
blender or the exhaust fan or in the bathroom there is the washing machune,
etc.
I think we
have a lot of devices which help the everyday, but maybe I would like a
dish-washer. That is true that it uses a lot of water but I don’t like washing
up and I just put the tableware into it
and I save a lot of time.
