STORY Household Chores

Household Chores

A. Reading

Tanya is 15 years old, and she lives with her mother and her

younger sister.  Her mother has two part-time jobs, so Tanya

has to do most of the housework.  Tanya doesn’t think this is

fair.  She thinks her sister should have to help with the

housework.  Her sister is only ten years old, and she likes to

play with her friends after school.  Tanya remembers that she

had to do housework when she was ten, so she doesn’t

understand why her mother doesn’t make her sister help with

the household chores.  Tanya is tired of doing all the

housework.  She wants to hang out with her friends after

school or go to the library and use the computers to do her

homework.  She is going to talk to her mother about this

problem, but she doesn’t know what to say.
