Listen to the file and then decide if the sentences are True or False.
R: Right, let's see, jobs and duties. Where shall we begin?
L: Let's talk about washing up first. Now that's something I really can't stand. My mum makes me do it after every meal at the weekend, and she won't let me go out with my friends until I've done it. I just think that's so unfair. I mean, none of my friends have to do it. I bet you don't either, do you?
R: No, you're light. In fact, no one in my family does. The most I have to do is get the plates out of the dishwasher.
L: Lucky you! I wish we had one. And what about cleaning shoes? You have a machine to do that as well, I suppose.
R: Unfortunately not. If it was left up to me, I wouldn't bother. But my dad says that shoes tell you a lot about a person so he has me brushing and polishing every other day. It's such a pain.
L: Same here. I'm not made to do it that often, but I still dread having to do it.
R: Right, so that could be one of our three. What's next?
L: Well, I honestly can't understand why clothes shopping is there. That's no chore for me. I mean I could spend all day popping in and out of shops. But going to buy food - now that's completely different.
R: I can't bear doing either of them. In fact, even talking about them makes me feel funny. Shall we move on?
L: OK. What do you feel about visiting relatives?
R: Oh that's not so bad. I've got a pretty small family so it doesn't happen that often. And I get on really well with my grandparents, the ones that are still alive, that is. In fact, one of my granddads is a real laugh, and I think he enjoys my company when I go to see him,ow that he's on his own. How about you?
L: Well, I suppose I'm a bit lazy really. My parents both say I should go and see my grandparents more often, but they live so far away - I always make sure I'm in when they come to see us, and they come round quite a lot, so I don't feel as though I need to go and see them. I don't think my mum and dad agree, though.
R: Oh well, that's relatives for you. Let's have a look at the next one.
L: What about looking after animals? Have you got any pets?
R: I've got a couple of fish, but they're not really that much trouble. You just have to change their water once a week, and drop some food into their tank every now and then. But you've got a dog, haven't you?
L: Yeah, don't remind me. Every morning he's there by the front door with his lead in his mouth, looking up at me with his big eyes, as if to say; 'Come on, it's that time again.' And if I ignore him, he starts barking, and my dad gets angry and says, 'He's your dog, no one else wanted one, so you've got to take responsibility for him'. Thanks, dad. You're a great help.
R: Bad luck. Get a fish next time.
L: Oh, I love him really. Anyway, what have we decided so far?
R: Well, we both seem to agree on cleaning shoes, and neither of us likes shopping for food. So that leaves one more. I can't talk about cleaning the car, cause we haven't got one.
L: And my dad won't let any of us go anywhere near his. I think he's frightened we might scratch it, or something, so he takes it to the local car wash. That's fine by me.
R: And if you tell me you like tidying your room, I just won't believe you.
L: Well I think we've found the third one - I absolutely ...
