Read Jane's Blog and explain why she thinks doing the chores is never done.

At weekends my family members are rarely at home at the same time, so we write notes to each other. They help to remember things to do.

My mother is the busiest person doing the household chores. And I must admit* that my elder sister is the greatest helping hand to her.

Every morning my mother cooks breakfast. She fries some eggs in a frying pan. My sister sometimes boils sausages in a small pot. When the eggs are ready, Mum serves them to us with a nicely decorated salad and boiled sausages. While my mother is doing that, my sister is catting some bread and taking out a teapot, cups, and plates.

When the water in the kettle boils, my sister puts some tea into the teapot, pours some boiling water into the pot and the tea is ready.

Sometimes my Mum prefers coffee to tea. Then my father prepares it. He is good at making coffee. I never drink coffee. I prefer tea. My sister sometimes drinks coffee with milk or cream. After breakfast, I go to my school and my father goes to his office. My sister puts the dishes into the dishwasher to clean and dry them. My Mum cleans the table and takes off the tablecloth.

My sister puts clean cups and dishes onto the cupboard and goes to her work.

And what about Mum? She stays at home and does lots of things around the house. There is always something to do, work around the house is never done...
