1B Chore wars 1 A The Present Simple is often used with time expressions, like at the weekend, on Saturdays, in the summer, in the winter, on schooldays, in the morning, at nighttime.

What do you do at the weekend?

Do you go to your friend’s after school?

Read the answers and write the questions.

1 Q: ?

A: After school, I go straight home and do my homework.

2 Q: ?

A: In the summer, we always go to the seaside.

3 Q: ?

A: No, I don’t do any sports at school, ever!

4 Q: ?

A: I always get up at 7 am, even at the weekend.

B Join a partner. Ask and answer your questions.

The Great Chore Wars

2 A Tick  the right answer for you. Be honest!

How often do you …

Every day

Once Once or twice or twice a week a month

1 set the table for a meal?

2 wash up or load the dishwasher?

3 cook a meal or help to prepare it?

Never

A survey reported in the Daily Mail this week found that women do an average £33,000 worth of unpaid chores around the house each year – that’s 40 per cent more than men. The issue of Chore Wars was also aired on GMTV, A British TV channel, by presenter Kate Garraway who told viewers about her psychotherapist husband, Derek Draper, and why he doesn’t do the cooking at home.

Here, Kate and Derek debate why men and women never seem to share the chores equally. So who do you agree with?

4 clean or help to clean the house?

5 change a light bulb?

6 wash your clothes?

7 take out the rubbish?

8 do the family food shopping?

9 load software onto a computer?

10 repair things in the house?

B A class survey. Work in groups. Count the numbers in your group and write them on the board. Get a total for the whole class. Then discuss these questions.

• • • •

Derek says: There’s a Draper family joke passed down the generations. When asked to do domestic chores by our wives, we Draper men retort: “What’s the point of having a dog if you have to bark yourself?”

Before we go any further, I need to stress the obvious: it’s just a joke.

But many a true word is spoken in jest, and I have to admit I am pretty old-fashioned when it comes to cooking and housework.

In our house, Kate does all the cooking. I have never really learned, and whenever I try, I don’t enjoy it. I also – get ready to growl, girls – don’t know how to work the washing machine and while even I figured out how to vacuum, I never actually do it.

So does that make us an unbalanced household, headed by a dyed-in-the-wool chauvinist?

Well, not if we widen our definitions. Who does the ‘Do It Yourself’ – from changing a bulb to putting up stair-gates?

Who puts software onto the computer and fixes the broadband when it fails? Who takes the car to the garage? And who always drives when we go out? In addition, I do the shopping and take out the rubbish.

Most of these things are naturally seen as the domain of the male, so what is so wrong with seeing cooking and cleaning as more naturally the domain of the female?

Is it discrimination – or just a tidy division of labour? I will get a lot of brickbats for this, but I really do think that fixing, fetching and fiddling are more naturally male activities, while homemaking, as they call it in the U.S., is a more naturally female one.

knjigarna.com swis721

Which activities do students do often in your class?

Which activities have the highest number of ‘Never’ answers?

Which activities do boys do often? Which do girls do often?

Is there a difference? If there is, do you think this is just natural?

CMYK 3 A TV presenter and her husband talk about doing chores at home. Read the article and write which chores10/100/90/0 from exercise 2A (1–10) each one does.

Kate: Derek:

4 Find the word or phrase in the article which means the same as the underlined words.

1 Derek thinks his way of dividing up the chores is the same as everybody else’s. u 2 He believes that some things are true even if we speak of them jokingly. i 3 Derek describes himself as someone with not very modern ideas. o 4 He thinks women are angry when he gives his views. g 5 He wonders whether he’s a man who is just not able to change his views. d -w

5 With a partner, tick  if these are Derek’s or Kate’s views (or both). Decide what you think. If you disagree, write a reason. Then compare with others.

1 It’s not in men’s nature to do cooking and cleaning.

Kate We agree.

Derek We disagree because …

2 It’s not in women’s nature to do DIY. Kate We agree.

Derek We disagree because …

3 If you have to provide a meal, get a take-away.

Kate We agree.

Derek We disagree because …

4 It’s natural for men to work with computers.

Kate We agree.

Derek We disagree because …

5 Men are good at understanding technical instructions.

Kate We agree.

Derek We disagree because …

Get the hang of

Men are competitive and goal-orientated (think Horatio Nelson), while women are nurturing and consensual (think Florence Nightingale).

I suspect that the way Kate and I divide up the domestic duties is pretty universal.

Kate says:

it!

Keeping a conversation going 6 A Read the gapped conversation. Then listen and complete Lara’s part. Continue the conversation for one or two more exchanges. There are suggestions below to help you keep the conversation going.

L: N: L: N: L: N: L:

Hi, Nick.

Oh, hi, Lara. What are you doing?

I’m this article.

What’s it about?

It’s silly … it’s .

Really? Doesn’t sound too interesting.

Oh you know … one of these sociology surveys. It’s about what teens do N: Yeah, I can guess. I bet it says we L: Well, not exactly. It says boys don’t do their .

N: What? That’s just prejudice!

[You continue]

I guess there are plenty of men who are a lot better than Derek around the house, but I suspect there are many who are a lot worse.

To give my husband his due, he is a better tidier than me, and he does wipe down the odd surface with a J-cloth – but that’s as near to cleaning as he gets.

Like many men I know, he also thinks that the main ingredients of a meal are a phone and a handful of takeaway menus.

I can throw together a family meal – a stew or pasta bake – without thinking, and I love how much Derek appreciates it. So I never mind doing the cooking, as long as he sets the table and loads the dishwasher.

He does do other stuff around the house, trying his best at DIY and anything technical. Which is a good job, because I shy away from instruction manuals as much as he avoids cookbooks.

And he always boasts about doing the shopping, but does he mention he does it on the internet and that I usually unpack it when it arrives?

He is great with our three-year-old daughter, Darcey, though. He gets her up when I am off early to GMTV and gets home most nights to bath her. I potter around listening to them laughing and splashing about, and it’s one of the happiest times of my day.

Best of all, he knows how to make a fuss of me. He is always the one who books a babysitter and organises ‘dates’, even if it’s just to eat a pizza and watch a film.

He also plans and arranges our holidays, but I suspect that is because he quite likes to be in control. As he once put it to me,he likes being the surpriser, not the surprised.

So, yes, there’s no doubt there are differences between men and women’s approaches to the home – but I think Derek exaggerates the differences. Aren’t they mainly just what we learned as children? 

. .

Why do you say that? Oh no! Not that again!

Well, tell me about it. Really? What does it say about it?

Oh, in what way? Really? Do you think that’s right?

Go on … Tell me more. Yeah, well, I agree, but …

You can’t be serious! I don’t believe it!

We use used to and would to talk about habits and repeated actions.

We use used to and would to talk about temporary, continuous, or repeated states.

We use used to to describe permanent past states (not would).

We sometimes use the Past Simple instead of would or used to, for variety.

Used to describes action in the past, not the present.

The question form is Did you use to …? The negative is: didn’t use to.

6 A What are the differences between writing an informal letter and writing an informal email? Tick  the statements that are true and re-write the statements that are false.

1 In an informal letter, you often have your own address at the top, but this is not necessary in an informal email.

2 For informal letters and emails, you write the date before you begin.

3 The greeting in an email is sometimes ‘Dear …. ,’ but it can also be ‘Hello’, or ‘Hi’.

4 In emails, senders often use more informal language than in letters.

5 The sender often uses shortened words in both letters and emails.

6 The ending in an email is always the same as in an informal letter.

1 A country wary of new arrivals = is frightened of them / welcomes them.

2 The threat of arrest for immigrants looms large = it’s possible that immigrants will be arrested / immigrants are protected from being arrested.

3 The girls have no permanent status = they can stay as long as they like / they can’t stay for a long time.

4 They campaigned for the legalisation of immigrants = they tried to get immigrants sent away / they wanted immigrants to have the right to stay.

5 The country’s legal framework hasn’t caught up with the new reality = the laws are appropriate for life in the present / the laws are not appropriate for life in the present.
