Housework
I often help at home: I sweep, take the trash out, do the vacuum-cleaning and water the plants. My brother and I usually clean our own rooms and I sometimes help my mom in the kitchen. If something breaks down, my dad fixes it. We have 2 dogs, a rabbit and an African white hedgehog. The rabbit and the hedgehog live in separate cages. My mum or I clean those twice a week.
The chores that are usually done by teenagers are tidying their room, vacuum-cleaning and dusting the furniture, but young people often don’t help at home, because of the technology or because of the lots of homework they have to do.
Men usually do the gardening, they plant trees, tinker or fix something. Women cook, bake, wash up the dishes, clean the house etc.
The jobs that should be done every day are the following: taking the trash out, sweeping, cooking, tidying up, feeding your animals and washing the dishes. And the chores that should be done every week is tidying the house for example.
There are some household machines, for example vacuum cleaner, washing machine, dish-washer etc.
