Nam: Hello, Minh. Minh: Hi, Nam. How are you? I’m going to play football at our school sports field with a few friends this evening. Are you free to join us? Nam: I’d love to, but I’m afraid I can’t. I’m preparing dinner. Minh: Really? Doesn’t your mum cook? Nam: Oh, yes. My mum usually does the cooking, but she’s working late today. Minh: How about your sister, Lan? Does she help with the housework? Nam: Yes. She often helps with the cooking. But she can’t help today. She’s studying for her exams. Minh: I see. I never do the cooking. It’s my mother’s job. Nam: Really? So how do you divide the household chores in your family? Minh: Mum is the homemaker, so she does the chores. My dad is the breadwinner; he earns money. And we, the kids, study. Nam: Well, in my family, we divide the housework equally – Mum usually cooks and shops for groceries; Dad cleans the house and does the heavy lifting. Minh: What about you and your sister? Nam: My sister does the laundry. I do the washing-up and put out the rubbish. We also help with the cooking when our mum is busy. Minh: That sounds fair! Anyway, I have to go now. See you later. Nam: Bye. Have fun.7.13.D Use a family budget estimator to determine the minimum household budgetKey Word Definition
