5
So today I'm going to talk about chores.
6
What are chores?
7
These are routine tasks that you have to do.
8
And usually when we say chores, we're talking about tasks you have to do at home.
9
People need to do many chores at home every week.
10
Adults do chores and many kids do chores too.
11
This isn't the funnest topic but it's an important one and you'll probably learn some new words in this video.
12
So when I was a kid I did a few different chores at home.
13
I was lucky because I didn't have to do a lot.
14
Some of my friends did many chores.
15
I remember that my neighbor did many different tasks for hours every weekend.
16
He cleaned many parts of his house, his front yard, and his back yard.
17
I didn't do that much.
18
But for example, I had to clean my room often.
19
This is one chore that most children need to do.
20
We're responsible for our bedroom.
21
We have to organize things and put things away.
22
The phrase put things away means that you put things where they belong, like the closet, dresser, or desk.
23
When I was a kid, I liked keeping my room organized.
24
I never left my toys or clothes on the floor.
25
Another chore that I did was take the trash out.
26
When the trash bags were full, I took them to our big trash bins.
27
These are the big containers where you put trash.
28
In the U.S., the garbage truck comes once a week to collect your trash.
29
So I had to take the trash bins to the curb the night before.
30
The curb is the edge of the sidewalk next to the street.
31
Nowadays, I still take the trash out every week.
32
I don't mind this chore.
33
It's easy for me.
34
But one chore I don't like is cleaning the bathroom.
35
This was the worst thing I had to do when I was young.
36
I'm not good at things like this and it always took me a long time to finish.
37
In particular, I hated cleaning the toilet.
38
I always thought this was a little gross or disgusting.
39
How about you?
40
Do you like cleaning the bathroom?
41
The easiest chore that I did as a kid was bringing the newspaper inside.
42
Every morning, I went out to get the newspaper, which was always on the ground in front of our house.
43
I always brought it inside for my parents.
44
But nowadays, fewer people read physical newspapers, so it's not the same.
45
I don't see many newspapers in front of people's houses.
46
One other chore that I had to do was skim the pool.
47
Skim the pool means to clean the surface or top of the water.
48
My family had a pool in the backyard and it got pretty dirty.
49
There were always leaves, bugs, and other things, so I had to skim the pool.
50
Okay, so one other important thing about chores is that children usually earn an allowance when they do them.
51
An allowance is money that parents give to their children.
52
Usually, if children do all their chores, they get this reward.
53
I earned a little allowance when I was a kid.
54
I used this money to buy things that I wanted.
55
Many parents like giving their children an allowance because it teaches them that hard work pays off.
56
This means that if you work hard, you'll get a reward afterwards.
57
It also teaches children that everyone has to work if they want to make money.
58
You can't earn money if you don't do anything.
59
So with chores and allowance, children learn responsibility and they learn how to work hard.
60
In the future, I want my kids to do chores so they can learn these lessons too.
61
Alright, now I'm going to ask you some questions about the video to see if you understood.
62
Write your answers in a comment down below.
63
So, number one, what's one chore that I don't like?
64
Number two, what does skim the pool mean?
65
And number three, what does it mean when we say that hard work pays off?

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
