Task Unit 4

Now, I´m going to talk about the housework tasks I do at home.

Every day, I wake up at 7.00 am. And I start to tidy me up. I always make my bed because my parents stopped making it when I was younger, so if I want to sleep into a well made bed, I have to make it personally and I have to tidy up my room.

After every meals, I have to clear the table and sometimes I must sweep the floor because it´s my turn of cleaning the rubbish after eating.

On the weekend, when I´ve cleaned the kitchen and I have tidied up my room, the time of cleaning the house starts. My sister and my mother go to the church because they sing in the choir of the Sunday´s Eucharist.

My father and I stay in home and we start cleaning the house with chores like dusting and vacuuming. We have got parquet so we have to be too careful not to damage it. When we have finished dusting and vacuuming, we usually do the laundry and after the laundry is finished, we have to fold it (that´s the household chore I hate more, I don´t know why, because I like vacuuming or dusting, but I can´t stand folding the clothes).

These are the household chores I do at home, because my mother cleans the bathrooms, and sometimes, my father cleans the windows and other things like that.

A responsibility my sister and me have got is taking out the rubbish. My family produces a lot of rubbish and every day we have to take out something. Fortunately, my family recycles and when we are taking it out, it´s easier to know which garbage bag we have to throw into the yellow container.

Recycling is an activity which is done by few people in Spain, because they think it is easier to leave all the rubbish in the plastic container for example. But they think dividing the rubbish into organic, plastic, glass and paper is a difficult chore, that´s the reason they don´t recycle, because they think it´s so stink.

If we think in a world where nobody recycles and all the people leave the rubbish where they want, the world would be full of rubbish on the roads and into houses. This picture isn´t too far from the actual situation, because studies have shown that many countries bury the 70 per cent of their rubbish under the land.

If we want to have a good world to give to our children, we must start recycling all the rubbish and not to continue doing the things we do now, our parents have given us a good world and we mustn´t leave the world which we have got now to our kids.

In conclusion, recycling is a good activity because it produces benefits to the environment. Everybody would have to do it. We can´t avoid producing rubbish, but the thing we can do is recycle to produce the environment the less effect as possible

And thank you for your attention
