Reading comprehension worksheet with a text about household chores and related tasks.

I'll solve both tasks step by step.

## Task 1: Tick the right box

Let me read through Diana's text carefully to determine who does each chore:

From the text:
- "I sweep the floor" → Diana
- "dust the furniture" → Diana
- "do washing up" (wash dishes) → Diana
- "tidy up my room" → Diana
- "make my bed" → Diana
- "I water plants, too" → Diana
- "My father and I try to help my mother to do the chores" → This is general
- "Cooking is the main responsibility of my mum" → Mother
- "She also does the ironing and the laundry" → Mother
- "My father is responsible for repairing some devices and objects" → Father
- "He also takes the garbage out" → Father
- "There is something that all the members of my family do together. It's shopping for food and for clothes" → All three (Diana, Mother, Father)
- "Also all of us have to feed our pets" → All three (Diana, Mother, Father)

Now let me fill in the table:

| Chore | Diana | Mother | Father |
|-------|-------|--------|--------|
| Go shopping | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Sweeping the floor | ✓ | | |
| Cooking | | ✓ | |
| Repairing | | | ✓ |
| Taking the garbage out | | | ✓ |
| Feeding pets | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Tidy up room | ✓ | | |
| Make bed | ✓ | | |
| Water plants | ✓ | | |
| Do the ironing | | ✓ | |
| Dust the furniture | ✓ | | |
| Do the laundry | | ✓ | |
| Wash dishes | ✓ | | |

## Task 2: True or False

Let me check each statement:

1. "Doing chores is very important."
- From the text: "In my opinion, having certain responsibilities is very important."
- Answer: True

2. "Everybody is happy when the house is dirty and in mess."
- From the text: "Everybody is happy when the house is bright and clean."
- This is the opposite! The statement says "dirty and in mess" but the text says "bright and clean"
- Answer: False

3. "Diana usually cooks dinner and then wash dishes."
- From the text: "Cooking is the main responsibility of my mum." Diana does "washing up" (wash dishes), but NOT cooking.
- Answer: False

4. "Diana's father sweeps the floor."
- From the text: "I sweep the floor" - Diana says THIS about herself, not her father.
- Answer: False

5. "They have got three pets."
- From the text: "a cat and two hamsters" = 1 + 2 = 3 pets
- Answer: True

6. "There are a lot of appliances that help people doing household chores."
- From the text: "such household appliances as microwave oven, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, blender and others"
- Yes, there are many appliances mentioned.
- Answer: True
