Lesson 4

Household Chores

Yesterday I spent two hours cleaning the kit-

chen from top to bottom. After supper I said to

my spouse, “Harry, let’s wash the dishes before

we go to bed so we can wake up to a beautiful

clean kitchen.” He said, “Fine.” Sometimes I don’t

want to do household chores at all because they

are usually repeated in daily life. Thankfully, my

husband is favorable when I need his help and

it’s the reason that I can do household chores

everyday.
