Spotlight on exams 3 module 3 listening page 61 I spoke to some teenagers about the household chores they have to do and how they feel about them.0:00
Here is what they told me.0:16
I live in a large house and there is lots of housework to do, so I understand that we all need to do our fair share.0:20
I think that's only right.0:28
Anyway, parents do so much for their kids, so why shouldn't we help out a bit?0:29
Speaker B There are several chores that I can't stand doing, like mopping our long staircase and washing the dishes.0:36
I'm quite happy to take the dog for a walk though, or mow the grass for my dad.0:46
I prefer to be in the fresh air.0:51
Speaker C I'm under quite a lot of pressure at school this year and I have a lot of homework to do, but my mum still makes me help out with the chores at home.0:54
I find that quite annoying because I don't have much time left to just relax or hang out with my friends.1:05
Speaker D I have the most jobs to do in the house because my sister is five years younger than me.1:14
Not only do I have to dust, tidy up and wash the dishes after dinner, but I also have to hang out the washing.1:22
Speaker E I'd really like to help out more because both of my parents work and I know they're tired when they get home, but I have so many things going on.1:32
School is more pressurised this year and I have basketball practice three times a week too, but I try to give my mum a hand whenever I can.1:44
Speaker F Many kids my age often complain about having to do household chores.1:55
I'm totally OK with helping out with the housework, though.2:01
In fact, I believe that doing the washing up, dusting, laundry and other things around the house is a good idea.2:05
After all, all these are things we'll have to do later when we leave home and go out to live on our own, right?2:13
We might as well practice while we're younger.2:19
