Period 1
Part 1. GETTING STARTED
Act 1: Listen and read
Nam: Hello?
Mr Long: Hello, Nam? This is Uncle Long. Is your dad there? I`d like to ask him out for a game of tennis.
Nam: Well, I`m afraid he can`t go out with you now. He`s preparing dinner.
Mr Long: Is he? Where`s your mum? Doesn`t she cook?
Nam: Oh, yes. My mum usually does the cooking, but she`s working late today.
Mr Long: How about your sister and you? Do you help with the housework?
Nam: Yes, we do. In my family, everybody shares the household duties. Today my sister can`t help with the cooking. She`s studying for exams.
Mr Long: I see. So how do you divide household chores in your family?
Nam: Well, both my parents work, so we split the chores equally - my mother cooks and shops for groceries, my father cleans the house and does the heavy lifting, my sister does all the laundry, and I do the washing-up and take out the rubbish.
Mr Long: Really? It`s different in my family. My wife handles most of the chores around the house and I`m responsible for the household finances. She`s the homemaker and I`m the breadwinner. Anyway, I have to go now. Tell your dad I called. Bye.
Nam: Oh yes, I will. Bye, Uncle Long.
