Dear Patrick,

I got a new job today helping a nice family do the housework. In the Peterson family, there are   1   （四）kids, two cats and two   2   (鸟), so there’s a lot to do.

I have to cook a meal once a week. I’ve already thought   3    （关于）the first meal I will cook. I’ll make a   4  （水果）salad and if I have time I’ll also make a   5   (蛋糕). After the meal, of course, I’ll   6  （洗）the dishes.

During the day, I need to make beds and do some   7   (打扫). Then I have to do the weekly shopping and pick up the kids from school and make sure they do their   8   (家庭作业).

Sounds like a busy day? There’s more, much more. Whew, I think it will take    9  （更长久）than one day a week to   10   (完成) all these chores.

                               Robert
