My guide
to simple housework by NATALIE POWERS
Who likes housework?

Not me, but I like my house to be nice and clean.
So, here are some tips:
Floors
I usually vacuum every Friday and it’s really easy. It takes about
15 minutes because I don’t have a lot of furniture. I also want to
buy a Vacuuming Robot. My sister has one. She turns it on in
the morning before work and her floors are always clean.
Kitchen
I can’t stand a dirty and messy kitchen. So, I never leave dirty
pots and pans for later. I clean as I cook, and I always tell my
family to fill the dishwasher when they finish lunch. It helps.
Yard
We have a big yard but I don’t have time for it. I don’t often
mow the lawn, it’s a job my kids usually do. And they like it.
One of our neighbors has a Robot Mower. It’s pretty cool, so
check it out!
1. Natalie likes housework. 4. Natalie doesn’t mind a messy kitchen.

2. Natalie thinks vacuuming is hard. 5. Natalie’s kids mow the lawn.
3. Her sister has a Vacuuming Robot. 6. Natalie has a Robot Mower.
B. Discuss.
What kind of housework do you do? What do you like and what do you hate doing?
