 Marcela’s house
I live in Rio with my brother and
sister. I always clean our house. I
love it. On weekdays, I make my
bed and tidy my bedroom in the
morning. Before breakfast, my
sister lays the table and my
brother clears it when breakfast is
over, he does the dishes too. He
also takes the rubbish out. At the
weekends, my brother does the
shopping. Our house is very clean
and organized.
I live in Sao Paulo with my best
friend, Macy. I clean our house, but I
don’t like it. I sometimes sweep the
floor. I prefer to do the dishes and to
do the laundry at the weekends. On
weekdays, I work a lot, so I don’t
have time to do household chores,
but I walk my dog every day. My
friend, Macy, makes dinner on
Mondays and Wednesdays, and I
make lunch on Fridays and
Sundays.  We want to have a
restaurant in the future.
