Doing the household chores is a necessary part of our life. I am Ban 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 any 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 frowerbeds 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.
