Who Needs a Clean House?

My neighbours, Mr and Mrs Smith, both hated housework. They were very untidy people who never put things away in their places. When they went to bed, for example, they always left their clothes in a mess on the floor. Their kitchen was in great disorder, too. Even though they had a dishwasher, they always left the dirty dishes in the kitchen sink, and only did the washing up when there was not a single plate in the house. It was just the same with their clothes. They never put them into the washing machine until there was nothing else left to wear. Their living room didn’t look better! There was thick dust on every piece of furniture and the carpets hadn’t been cleaned for weeks. And the bathroom!

So the day came when Mr. Smith couldn’t find one of his socks and Mrs. Smith couldn’t see her face in the bathroom mirror. They looked around and decided that it was time to get the house cleaned. And they found Marie, a foreign student at a local university who needed some extra money.

Marie came to their house and worked all day long. She washed, dried and ironed all the clothes and put them away where they belonged – into the wardrobe and chest of drawers. She swept the floor with a large broom. She took a wet cloth and wiped the dust off the furniture, and polished it until it was shining. She cleaned all the carpets with a vacuum cleaner. In the kitchen, the floors were too dirty to wash with a mop, so Marie got on her hands and knees and scrubbed the dirt off with a scrubbing brush. Finally, she made the beds. Now the house looked spotless.

When Mr. and Mrs. Smith came home that evening, everything was clean, neat and tidy. ”Well, what do you think?” Mrs. Smith asked her husband. “It looks very nice, “he said. “But how are we ever going to find anything?”

Mr. and Mrs. Smith both couldn't stand doing the housework.

My neighbourhood is very peaceful and quiet. It is a new neighbourhood, and there are a lot of big houses and some apartment buildings. The streets are very clean, and there aren’t many cars. My school is near my house. I can walk there in 10 minutes.There’s also a park, which has a small playground for children and a large field. I like to play baseball there with my friends after school. All of the houses have a small front yard but big back yards. Most of my neighbours have a swimming pool, and some even have a trampoline! Everyone has a flower garden, and in the spring, it is very beautiful. My road is called Maple Road. It is not in the city. It’s in the suburbs. There aren’t any restaurants, bars or cinemas on my road. But, if you go to Main street, you can find a lot of things to do. My favourite store is there. It’s called Knick-Knack, and they sell everything you can imagine. I like my neighbourhood because it is very safe. There is no crime, and all of my neighbours take care of each other. The police station is next to the school, which is very nice. However, the hospital is quite far. It is in the city, and we have to drive 30 minutes to get there. My friends live near me, and we often meet up to play or just talk. We love playing hockey in the street because there isn’t any traffic. I think I am lucky to live in my neighbourhood.

It's a busy neighbourhood with lots of activity.
