Scorify.uzQuestions and sample answers
What household chores do you do?
I usually wash the dishes, tidy my room and take out the rubbish. On weekends I also help my mother clean the whole flat, and sometimes I go to the bazaar to buy vegetables.
Which chore do you like the least?
Ironing, without a doubt. It takes a long time, and I find it boring and tiring. I try to buy clothes that do not need ironing, though that only works for T-shirts.
Did you do chores when you were a child?
Yes, from about the age of eight. I had to make my bed and set the table before dinner. At the time I complained, but now I am grateful, because I know how to look after myself.
Who does most of the chores in your home?
My mother does the cooking, and my father usually repairs things and does the shopping. We divide the rest, so everyone has a small job. It is not perfectly equal, but it works for us.
Do you think children should help at home?
Absolutely. It teaches responsibility and shows them that a home needs everyone's effort. Even simple tasks, like watering plants or folding clothes, can build good habits early. I plan to follow the same approach with my own children one day.
Would you pay someone to do your chores?
Maybe in the future if I had a very busy job. At the moment I prefer to do them myself, partly to save money and partly because a tidy home helps me think clearly.
