Where do you live?
We live in a small apartment. It’s in a ten-story building.
What’s your address?
It’s 56 Valdivia Street.
What’s your house like?
It’s quite large. It has four bedrooms, and a very pretty patio.
What do you think about having to help out at home?
Sometimes I have to take care of my brothers and sisters, but it’s all right with me. It’s no big deal.
I always have to vacuum the living room. What a pain!
What do you have to do?
I often have to pick up my room.
And Juan?
Juan never has to do the dishes. It seems unfair to me.
