Task 7

 Helping in the house

(an extract from a radio programme)

Susan: I would like to speak about helping in the house. I‘ve got two sons, a fourteen-year-old boy and an eighteen-year-old boy. I have given up with the eighteen-year-old about his bedroom. I decided that he needs his space and if he wants to live in a rubbish bin, then so be it.

But I work full time and I need a little bit of help around the house. The usual response when I ask them is, either they are doing something else, or “why can’t he do it?” meaning his brother. Or if they do it then it’s not very well done – if it’s washing-up, they have water all over the floor. Any ideas what I could do about it?

 

Ted:  Well, this sounds like more or less the same relationship that I had with my mother until she discussed it with me. I am sixteen and if my mother needs help round the house we have a sort of agreement that I clean up after myself. I do any other jobs, too, and I often repair things around the house. So if you tell your children that they should clean up behind themselves and should do any other jobs, they will agree to this. That sounds to me like a fair agreement. And if you try that it may work.

 

Liz:  Well, I am fifteen and I think your children really aren’t children any more. They are old enough to realize that you are their mother and they really should be doing what you ask them to do because they live under your roof. I think all parents have a standard set of rules and one of the rules is that children should do something around the house. Remember that your sons, especially your elder son, are going to be leaving home soon to go to university, or something. And they are not going to have their mommy there to do the washing-up. They should start learning now that chores should be shared in the family.

  

Agree or disagree with the statements and discuss them.

1. Parents have no right to make their children do any work about the house.

2. Children should be responsible for doing some chores around the house since the age of 3-4.

3. Children should be paid by their parents for doing household chores.

4. Parents shouldn’t make their children clean their rooms because most teenagers like their rooms being untidy.

5. There is no sense in children’s doing chores as they do them badly all the same. Parents should do them much better.

6. At home children learn to behave in their adult life.

Task 8.

A. Do you think your parents have any right to make you do some work about the house? Why do you think so?

B. Do you agree with this set of rules?

• share the chores in the house
• clean up after yourself
• do some job about the house that you can do
• remember that you live under one roof
• remember that your parents also need rest after work
• learn doing routine tasks now to make your life easier in your future

C.    What other rules can you add?

 

   

Task 9   Look at the pictures and make up a story beginning with: It was the day before the New Year…
