4. Make your family chore chart. Then, using the ideas in the chart, write a paragraph
about how people in your family share housework. You can use the questions in 3 as cues
for your writing.

Eg: A paragraph is simple:

There are four people in my family: my parents, my older brother and I. We
are all very busy people, so we divide the household chores equally. My
Mom does cooks, cleans the room and shops for grocery. My Dad does the
hard stuff like lifting heavy things and repairs work like fixing plumbing
and electricity. My older brother takes out the rubbish, cleans the house and
feeds the dogs. And me, I do the washing-up, do the laundry and water the
flowers. In my family, every member contributes to making the home a
beautiful and happy place to live in.
