chores.

Ethan I can’t remove the wrinkles of this shirt.
Kuzey Let me see it. Oh, you can’t do it this way. The fabric is rough.
Ethan What should I do?
Kuzey You should spray water on it. It’ll be easy, then. The next time you iron
You should spray water on it. It’ll be easy, then. The next time you iron
something, do it when the shirt is still lightly damp.
Ethan I see. Kuzey, I wonder how you have learned so many things about
household chores.
Kuzey Experience is the best teacher. There is a close cooperation in the
household chores in our family, so everyone can do almost all the
household chores.
Ethan You mean, you can cook and clean the house as well?
Kuzey Even more. It’s because we have to support each other. My parents
are academicians, you know, and they may sometimes be late or
away for academic work and conferences. When they are away, my
sister and I do the cooking, wash up, do the laundry, iron our clothes
and dust the furniture.
Ethan Dust the furniture?
Yes. I always do that at home. My parents are both allergic to dust, so
Kuzey Yes. I always do that at home. My parents are both allergic to dust, so
that’s my job, but usually they do most of the work for us when they
are at home, especially when we have exams. Then, I do simple
chores such as taking out the garbage, clearing the table. What about
chores such as taking out the garbage, clearing the table. What about
you Ethan?
Ethan Everyone has certain tasks in our family. For example, I take out the
garbage and load the dishwasher. My sister does and hangs out the
washing. My father usually works till late hours, so he cannot help us
with the chores. I can’t say we have a good cooperation like yours.
