I don't like to be engaged in house affairs, but it's necessary. Our apartment is large, and our mother can't do everything alone. Of course, it is boring to do household chores, but I do not like to quarrel and upset my parents. I hate washing the dishes. I don't like water the flowers, but it must be done. We distributed the responsibilities at home, and it certainly becomes easier. My sister and I are responsible for cleaning of the rooms. Twice a week we sweep the floor, water our mother's flowers in the pots. It seems they are everywhere: in the kitchen, in the rooms, in the bedroom, in the boxes on the floor. My brother takes out the rubbish and keeps order on the balcony. The carpets are daddy's responsibility. But we enter the kitchen, only to have breakfast-lunch-dinner. This is our mother's territory. 

Я не люблю заниматься домашними делами, но это необходимо. Наша квартира большая, и наша мама не может делать все в одиночку. Конечно, это скучно заниматься домашними делами, но я не люблю ссориться и расстраивать моих родителей. Я ненавижу мыть посуду. Мне не нравится поливать цветы, но это нужно делать. Мы распределили обязанности по дому, и конечно, стало легче. Моя сестра и я ответственные за уборку комнат. Два раза в неделю мы подметаем полы, поливаем мамины цветы в горшках. Кажется, они у нас везде: на кухне, в комнатах, в спальне, в коробках, на полу. Мой брат выносит мусор и следит за порядком на балконе. Ковры - это папина обязанность. Но мы заходим на кухню только завтракать-обедать-ужинать. Это мамина территория.
