Chores
CHORES, GOOD FOR YOU, GOOD FOR YOUR FAMILY
You can learn a lot from doing household chores. Chores help you learn about what you need to do to care for yourself now and in your adult life. When you contribute to family tasks, you feel competent and responsible. Even if you don't enjoy the chore, you get the feeling of satisfaction that comes with finishing the task. This helps families work better because parents have less to do so they have more time to do fun things with you.
WHAT'S YOUR CHORE?
What to clean:
What time do you wake up? What do you eat for breakfast? How do you go to school? What time do you go to bed? How long do you sleep every night? What do you do every day?
All the activities you do everyday make your DAILY ROUTINE.
Can you express it in English?
To talk about our daily routines we need to express ourselves using the PRESENT SIMPLE form of the verbs.
Do you know when and how to use it?
