I READING: MATCHING I activities:

� Read the text and match the phrases that have similar meanings.
I often help a lot around the house and I usually help my mum do the laundry. My
brother is lazy and he never washes his clothes. He always leaves them in a pile on his
bedroom floor. In the evening after school, I always tidy up my room. I put things away
and get my schoolbag ready for the next day. My dad sometimes washes up after dinner.
We don't have a dishwasher at the moment because our old one broke down, so he has
to clean the dishes by himself. My sister likes cooking, so she often helps mum make
lunch and dinner. She prepared a delicious meal of roast chicken at the weekend.
Sometimes my brother puts the rubbish out, but he usually just leaves it by the back
door instead of taking it out to the bins. We all usually try and help and do the cleaning.
When the housework is done, we always relax and watch TV.
