QUESTION
I’m doing a social studies course at college and I’ve got a project to do about family life. Can you help?
Could you tell me about your normal routine at home: meals, housework, and how you spend your
leisure time together as a family? I just need you to explain things and tell me what usually happens in
your house.
Love,
Tim.

SAMPLE ANSWER
Hi Tim,
It was great to get your email. It looks as if you’re busy right now! I’m happy to help you with some
information.
First of all, I tell you about our meals. Everybody gets their own food ready. My mother cooks lunch and
dinner. In addition, we grab a quick snack and eat in front of the TV. Moreover, we sit around the table
and my mother serves the meal around 8 o’clock.
We do the housework together. Everybody lends a hand. We do the washing-up. Apart from that, we do
the laundry and sweep the floor. After that, we mop and clean the floor.
We spend leisure time together as a family. We chat, discuss and argue as well. My sister and I share the
same interest. We are interested in playing scrabble. Besides that, we spend time together watching
Korean drama. Furthermore, we enjoy doing some gardening outside the house.
Anyway, I hope I have helped your project.
Love,
Sarah
