Doing household chores is a necessary part of our life. I am Ben and I have a lot of duties. My parents are often tired and I must take care of them. Everybody is happy when their home is bright and clean.
I think that doing my household chores is fun. I sweep the floor, tidy my room, clean the shoes, dust the furniture, make food myself and do every kind of work. It’s not easy to do every kind of work at home, but I try to learn doing everything myself. Very often I go to the market with my mother. We buy some vegetables and fruit. Then I help my mother to carry them. We have got a country house. There is a big garden with many trees, bushes and flowers in it. There is a lot of work in our garden as well and I help my parents do it. We sweep the yard, cut away dry and useless branches of the trees, weed the flowerbeds and look after our dog. I usually clean my flat on Friday. I believe that doing some chores makes a man feel fine and satisfied with his own life.
