Nam: Hello, Minh.
Minh: Hi, Nam. How are you? I'm going to play football at our school stadium with a few friends this evening. Are you free to join us?
Nam: I'd love to, but I'm afraid I can't. I'm preparing dinner.
Minh: Really? Doesn't your mum cook?
Nam: Oh, yes. My mum usually does the cooking, but she's working late today.
Minh: How about your sister, Lan? Does she help with the housework?
Nam: Yes. She often helps with the cooking. But she can't help today. She's studying for her exams.
Minh: I see. I never do the cooking. It's my mother's job.
Nam: Really? So how do you divide the household chores in your family?
Minh: Mum is the homemaker, so she does the chores. My dad is the breadwinner, he earns money. And we, the kids, study.
Nam: Well, in my family, we divide the housework equally - Mum usually cooks and shops for groceries: Dad cleans the house and does the heavy lifting.
Minh: What about you and your sister?
Nam: My sister does the laundry. I do the washing-up and put out the rubbish. We also help with the cooking when our mum is busy.
Minh: That sounds fair! Anyway, I have to go now. See you later.
Nam: Bye. Have fun.
