Today I want to talk about housework in my family. I think I do the most housework in my family. I clean the kitchen every day. I do the dishes, too. My mom does the shopping. She's a teacher in a school. My sister is a college student. She doesn't do anything! She doesn't make her bed or clean her room. My dad cleans her room after work. He's a chef in a restaurant so he makes dinner. He does the laundry and cleans the bathroom, too. Hmm. Now, I really think about it, my dad does the most housework.
