3. We clean our house.

4. "The right thing in the right place."

5. Some activities takes a lot of time.

6. "Mother's rest"

7. A woman's work is never done.

 

The mother of a family has alot of work to do in the house. All day long she is busy, doing one thing or another.

When father goes to work, Mother goes to work, too. That's why we try our best to help mother.

There is some dust on the floor every day. So we sweep the floor with the broom or clean it with a vacuum - cleaner. There is some dust on the furniture, too, on the tables, armchairs and chairs. We dust the furniture with a duster. we make our beds ourselves, too, and try to keep our rooms clean and tidy.

Mother doesn't like when things are lying all over the place. She often says, "The right thing in the right place." And we try to keep our things in the right places.

Doing the rooms, cooking meals and washing up takes a lot of time.

We want mother to rest. But she remembers: yesterday Tom fell down and made a hole in the trousers! So Mother takes some wool and a long needle and mends the trousers. Then she sees that a button from my coat is gone. She takes some thread and sews on a new button.

Will Mother have a rest now? She looks at the clock 6.30. Father will be home in a minute; she must get supper ready.

There is always something to do, a woman's work is never done. Let's try our best to help our mothers!

 

T. Answer the questions.

- What does Mother do all day long?

- Who helps Mum?

- What does Mum like to say?
