Welcome back, friends.
Today our topic is HOME.
And we're talking about doing chores.
We all need to wash our clothes.
And Rob made a mistake when he was washing his clothes.
He put them in the dryer and they turned pink.
Oh. Well, that is quite a mistake.
Don't forget, not all your clothes can go in a dryer.
Let's see what else there is in Conversation C right now.
Hi, Susie.
The weather is very nice today.
I like nice days.
Then I can walk my dog.
Do you walk him every day?
Yes. It's one of my daily chores.
I don't like chores!
I like this one!
I can exercise in the park.
Hmm...
Well, maybe some chores are nice.
Sometimes we like our chores.
Susie likes nice days to walk her dog.
That sounds great.
Yes, it does.
It's one of Susie's daily chores.
If you do something daily, you do it every day.
One of my daily chores is cleaning my room.
Nathan, do you have any daily chores?
Yes. I wash dishes every day.
There are a lot of daily chores.
What are some other chores that we can talk about, Katie?
Well, I think one good chore is cleaning your whole house.
I try to clean my house often because I don't like things too messy.
Well, that is one big chore.
And do you ever have to clean the bathroom?
Oh, well, yes. That is another chore.
And I just thought of another daily chore - making your bed.
That's one chore I do every morning.
Well, friends, do you make your bed every morning?
What chores do you do every day?
Now chores are important if you want to keep your house clean.
And not all chores are fun.
But Susie's daily chore sounds very nice, Nathan.
Yes, it does.
And Rob thinks so, too.
He says, "Maybe some chores are nice." Let's learn something about this
sentence.
Maybe something is something.
Like: Maybe this food is delicious.
Or... Maybe this movie is funny.
Maybe this show will be great.
Or maybe this class is interesting.
Hmm. You can try to use that sentence today, friends.
But right now I think that we should do something together.
You know what I mean.
It's time for us to review today's key words.

Now my white clothes are pink!
Oh, no!
I'm embarrassed.

Well, I live alone.
So I have to do all the chores.
I have to wash the dishes, clean the kitchen, clean my room, do my laundry, take
out the trash... all by myself.
I wish I had a roommate, so they could share the chores with me.

Well, I sweep the floors and I take out the trash every night.
You see, my wife, she cooks the meals and usually washes the dishes.
But sometimes, to be nice and to show my wife how grateful I am, I will wash the
dishes after dinner.
And of course, if there are any bugs in the house, it's my job to take care of
them and get them out.
What chores do I do?
Well, I do a lot of chores.
Because I now live by myself so I have to do everything.
I have to wash my clothes.
I have to clean the floor, do the dishes.
I do everything.
I sometimes have to clean the rugs.
Sometimes I have to clean up for other people.
Sometimes my friends ask me to do some things for them and I'm like, "Those are
your chores!".
So, friends, you might like chores or you might not.
We hope you like our lesson today.
But it's time to go.
