So today I'm going to talk about chores.

What are chores?

These are routine tasks that you have to do.

And usually when we say chores, we're talking about tasks you have to do at home.

People need to do many chores at home every week.

Adults do chores and many kids do chores too.

This isn't the funnest topic but it's an important one and you'll probably learn some new words in this video.

So when I was a kid I did a few different chores at home.

I was lucky because I didn't have to do a lot.

Some of my friends did many chores.

I remember that my neighbor did many different tasks for hours every weekend.

He cleaned many parts of his house, his front yard, and his back yard.

I didn't do that much.

But for example, I had to clean my room often.

This is one chore that most children need to do.

We're responsible for our bedroom.

We have to organize things and put things away.

The phrase put things away means that you put things where they belong, like the closet, dresser, or desk.

When I was a kid, I liked keeping my room organized.

I never left my toys or clothes on the floor.

Another chore that I did was take the trash out.

When the trash bags were full, I took them to our big trash bins.

These are the big containers where you put trash.

In the U.S., the garbage truck comes once a week to collect your trash.

So I had to take the trash bins to the curb the night before.

The curb is the edge of the sidewalk next to the street.

Nowadays, I still take the trash out every week.

I don't mind this chore.

It's easy for me.

But one chore I don't like is cleaning the bathroom.

This was the worst thing I had to do when I was young.

I'm not good at things like this and it always took me a long time to finish.

In particular, I hated cleaning the toilet.

I always thought this was a little gross or disgusting.

How about you?

Do you like cleaning the bathroom?

The easiest chore that I did as a kid was bringing the newspaper inside.

Every morning, I went out to get the newspaper, which was always on the ground in front of our house.

I always brought it inside for my parents.

But nowadays, fewer people read physical newspapers, so it's not the same.

I don't see many newspapers in front of people's houses.

One other chore that I had to do was skim the pool.

Skim the pool means to clean the surface or top of the water.

My family had a pool in the backyard and it got pretty dirty.

There were always leaves, bugs, and other things, so I had to skim the pool.

Okay, so one other important thing about chores is that children usually earn an allowance when they do them.

An allowance is money that parents give to their children.

Usually, if children do all their chores, they get this reward.

I earned a little allowance when I was a kid.

I used this money to buy things that I wanted.

Many parents like giving their children an allowance because it teaches them that hard work pays off.

This means that if you work hard, you'll get a reward afterwards.

It also teaches children that everyone has to work if they want to make money.

You can't earn money if you don't do anything.

So with chores and allowance, children learn responsibility and they learn how to work hard.

In the future, I want my kids to do chores so they can learn these lessons too.

Alright, now I'm going to ask you some questions about the video to see if you understood.

Write your answers in a comment down below.

So, number one, what's one chore that I don't like?

Number two, what does skim the pool mean?

And number three, what does it mean when we say that hard work pays off?

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
