Question

Write a conversation between you and your mother about ‘domestic duties’:

Answer 1

• Myself: Mother, do I have to do the dishes every day? 
• Mother: Well, dear, you’ve got to learn sometime. You can never tell when the need may arise. 
• Myself: But I have so much to study. And I have projects to complete. 
• Mother: I understand. But this work has also to be done.
• Myself: Can’t the servant do it? 
• Mother: Oh, she will be coming late today and the dishes are all cluttered up. In the future it will be very difficult to get a domestic help. Then you will thank me for training you. 
• Myself: Mother, I plan to get a good job and earn a lot of money. I will employ a housemaid permanently in my house to look after everything, including looking after the children. 
• Mother: You can never be so sure about the future. So just get down to the dishes, and don’t argue. 
• Myself: Ok mother, if you say so.
