There are 4 people in my family: my mother, my father, my older brother, and me. Every day, I water the flowers, sweep the house and do the dishes. I sometimes do the cooking when my mother is busy. Among all the chores I do, I am keen on sweeping the house. It’s not too hard, and I like seeing the house clean after I sweep it. I don’t mind watering the flowers, since it helps me relax. On the other hand, doing the washing-up is not my cup of tea. It is because I often break things when I do the washing-up. Overall, I enjoy doing household duties. I feel happy since I can help my mother with chores around the house.
