1. Do you do housework at home?
你做不做家务呢?肯定不做的声音会高一些，但是我们还是要为做家务的好同学准备一下答案的。两种情况来分析哈~
范例一：
To be honest, just occasionally. I share a dorm with other three boys/girls, we need to keep a rather clean and tidy living environment. So we made a rule that the one on duty would clean or mop the floor and take out the rubbish.
范例二：
En，I hardly ever do the housework, my mom will keep house well. I did not mean that I am lazybones, you know, the most obvious merit of living with parents is there is no need for me to concern the household jobs.
2. What kinds of housework do you often do?
那些想做家务的或是会做家务的同学们基本上也就是刷刷碗啊，扫扫地啊，收拾收拾屋子之类，所以我们要掌握一些这方面的词汇。就光是做家务这个词除了do the housework,我们还可以说keep house或是do the chores.
Actually, housework is not my skilled at. In most cases, I just sweep the floor or make my own bed. Doing Chores like washing the window and ironing the clothes, I definitely make nothing but a mess.
3. Did you do housework when you were a child?
小时候的事情，所以大家一定要注意时态的问题。就算你小时候就特别喜欢做家务，但可能太久都已经忘记了，你可以说：听我妈说blabla~~
范文一：
In fact, I couldn’t remember well since it has been long time. But it surprised me to learn that I was a super helper of my mom in terms of doing chores. I helped her set the table and wash socks, but not now.
还有一部分人呢就算是不记得了，也觉得现在我都不做，小时候我爸妈还是爱我的时候也是绝必不会让我做的。
范文二：
If memory does not fail me I seldom did that. The main reason is my mom didn’t allow me to keep house when I was a kid. As I was a careless and naughty boy, she worried about me getting injured.
4. Do you think that children should do housework?
虽然你不爱做，但是不可否认孩子是应该做一些力所能及的事情的，简单的打扫卫生还是OK的。
Definitely, I know those indulgent parents are unwilling to ask kids to do chores. While, in my eyes, it is a good way to have a strong hands-on skill. When they grow up, they have to live on their own and deal with such trivial matters.
5. Do you think men and women should share housework?
虽然有些人觉得家务就那么点儿，也没有很累。大错特错，我们就在这里阐述女人有多累了。
I surely agree with this idea. Doing housework seems like a very simple and easy work, but actually it could cost lots of energy and feel tired. Furthermore, as one of the household, men should give a hand in keeping house.
6. What kinds of housework do you dislike to do?
不喜欢的家务一大堆，你可以随意挑选，但是别忘了一定要给原因哦。
Doing washing up, especially washing the dishes, is my least favorite chore. I am not saying that it is exhausted or hard. I mean, it is too greasy, even though the liquid cleanser can do me a favor, I just can not stand the feeling I touch.
