Текст по теме «Мои домашние обязанности» (Household Chores)

There are typical responsibilities of the husband, the wife and the children. The husband goes to work and earns money for the family. May be, at weekends he cleans his car and does some practical things about the house. The wife goes shopping, does cleaning up, washing up and what not.

Personally, I think that both parents should take part in doing household chores. Also, when children grow up, they should be given as much responsibility as possible. It’s very good for a child to learn to be able to take care of himself and his things.

As for me, I don’t mind household chores and even like them. I do most of washing up, tidy my room and make my bed. I often go shopping. Everyone in my family is responsible for cleaning and repairing things when they have free time. We are loving family and try to help each other.
