You asked me who did housework at my home in your last letter. In fact, we do it together.

What about you? Do your family do housework together?

Yours,

Adam

My sister, Joanna, is too young to do housework, so my parents and I share it. I make my own bed and take out the rubbish. Every Thursday afternoon, my parents go shopping and I take care of my sister. My father fixes things in the house. My mother cooks our meals and washes our clothes. Last month, my father bought me a pet dog. I named it Paige. I take it for a walk every day. It’s very cute.

Next month, my parents will take me to see one of their friends in your city. I hope I can visit you then.

Yours,

Sally
