• Hi, Emiliano! You are online. That is great. How are you?

• Hi Sophie, my keypal! I am fine, thanks! I just finished all my chores, now I have time to chat.

• What are some daily farm chores you do in the country?

• I live on a dairy farm, we need to do some chores early in the morning every day. We get up at 6 am. I always pray, read the Bible, and lay the table before breakfast. After breakfast, I milk the cows and collect the eggs. Then I go to school. My father feeds and waters the animals. I also help with that after school.

• So many things before going to school! I pray and make my bed before breakfast. Then I go to school. At noon, I have lunch at home. I lay the table before lunch, I wash the dishes, and put them away after we eat. Those are my chores after school. What about you?

• After I finish school, I go to my house on foot. My school is near the farm. We have lunch, and my siblings clear the table. I help my father on the farm. We grow crops, too. We water the crops, and plant them twice a month. There are many chores here, but I like helping!

• I also like helping! I sometimes fold the clothes and take out the rubbish to help my mum. Ah! And I always tidy up my room!

• Me too! I also tidy my room every day! See! We have similar chores.
