Section A 3a

Read the story and answer the questions.

Last month, our dog welcomed me when I came home from school. He wanted a walk, but I was too tired. I threw down my bag and went to the living room. The minute I sat down in front of the TV, my mom came over.

"Could you please take the dog for a walk?" she asked.

"Could I watch one show first?" I asked.

"No!" she replied angrily. "You watch TV all the time and never help out around the house! I can't work all day and do housework all evening."

"Well, I work all day at school, too! I'm just as tired as you are!" I shouted back.

My mom did not say anything and walked away. For one week, she did not do any housework and neither did I. Finally,  I could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt. The next day, my mom came home from work to find the house clean and tidy.

"What happened?" she asked in surprise.

"I'm so sorry, Mom. I finally understand that we need to share the housework to have a clean and comfortable home," I replied.
