UNIT 3 Could you please clean your room?

Section A 1b

Listen. Who will do these chores? Check (√) Peter's mother or Peter.

Peter, we need to clean the house. Your grandma is coming over at seven. Sure, but I need to do my homework first.

OK. Then after you finish your homework, let's clean up the kitchen. I can do the dishes and sweep the floor. Could you please take out the rubbish?

Sure, Mom.Good. And could you please make your bed and fold your clothes? All right.

And let's see... I have to clean the living room before your grandma arrives.

Section A 2a

Listen. Peter asks his father if he can do four things. What does his father say? Check (√) yes or no.

Hey, Dad?

Yes?

Could I go out for dinner with my friends tonight? Sure, that should be OK.

Could I go to the movies after that? My friends said the new action movie is really good. I guess so. But don't stay out late.

Could I stay out until eleven? We might get something to drink after the movie.

No, you can't. You have a basketball game tomorrow, remember? You need to have a good rest.

Oh, yeah. Well, could you give me a ride to town now? If I take the bus, I'll be late.       I can't, Peter. I have to do some work now.

Oh, OK. No problem. I'll call Alan. Maybe his dad can give me a ride.

Section A 2d

Role-play the conversation.

Tony, could you please help out with a few things? Could I at least finish watching this show?

No. I think two hours of TV is enough for you! Fine. What do you want me to do?

Could you take out the rubbish, fold the clothes and do the dishes? So much?

Yes, because Mom will be back from shopping any minute now. And she won't be happy if she sees this mess.

But the house is already pretty clean and tidy! Yes, well, it's clean, but it's not "mother clean"!

Section A 3a

Read the story and answer the questions.

Last month, our dog welcomed me when I came home from school. He wanted a walk, but I was too tired. I threw down my bag and went to the living room. The minute I sat down in front of the TV, my mom came over.

"Could you please take the dog for a walk?" she asked. "Could I watch one show first?" I asked.

"No!" she replied angrily. "You watch TV all the time and never help out around the house! I can't work all day and do housework all evening."

"Well, I work all day at school, too! I'm just as tired as you are!" I shouted back.

My mom did not say anything and walked away. For one week, she did not do any housework and neither did I. Finally, I could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt. The next day, my mom came home from work to find the house clean and tidy.

"What happened?" she asked in surprise.

"I'm so sorry, Mom. I finally understand that we need to share the housework to have a clean and comfortable home," I replied.

Section B 1c

Listen to a conversation between Sandy and her mom. Check (√) the things in la that you hear.

Could I invite my friends to a party on Saturday, Mom? 

Of course! That sounds like fun.

Yeah. Urn... could I borrow some money? 

What for?

I need to buy some drinks and snacks. Could I go to the store?

Well, I'm going tomorrow, and I can buy some drinks and snacks for you. Oh, good. Thanks, Mom.

You're welcome. Oh, could you clean your room? I cleaned it last week.

You need to dean  it  again  for  your  party. OK. At the party, could I use your CD player? Yes, if you're careful with it.

Don't worry, Mom!

Now, there are a few other things I want you to do before the party. Could you please move the big chairs to the bedroom and clean the living room?

Sure. Dave is coming early on Saturday, so he can help me.

Section B 2b

The Sunday Mail magazine invited parents to write about whether they think young people should do chores at home. Skim the following letters. Which one agrees and which one disagrees?

Dear Sir,

I do not understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just let them do their job as students? They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. Also, when they get older, they will have to do housework so there is no need for them to do it now. It is the parents' job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. I do not mind doing them. 

Ms, Miller

Dear Sir,

I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It is not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. They are always asking, "Could you get this for me? " or "Could you help me with that? "Doing chores helps to develop children's independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness.

Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbors' son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.

Mr. Smith
