Doing the housework by Lisa Porter, Class 4b

At home, we all share the housework. My dad loves cooking, so he cooks all the food. Sometimes
we help him, though. Next weekend, for example, we're having a party so I'm going to help him. In
the past, my mum did all the shopping. She started a new job last year though, so I've done most of
the shopping since then. It's easy, because I shop online. That means I order everything on the
Internet (my dad lets me use his credit card!) and someone from the supermarket delivers it to our
house.
My brother, Andy, cleans the bathroom nearly every day. He didn't do it yesterday, so he might do
it later today. My sister Angelina sweeps the floors. She uses a really old brush. I think she should
use a vacuum cleaner! You can save time if you use electrical equipment.
