The Sheens have just had dinner. Listen and read.
Mrs Sheen
Would you help me do the washing-up, Nigel?
Mrs Sheen
She helped me yesterday. It’s your turn now.
Nigel
But Mum, I’m really very busy. I’ve got such a lot of maths to do. Please!
Mrs Sheen
All right. But tomorrow it’s your turn.
Mrs Sheen
Claire, will you help me do the washing-up?
Mrs Sheen
No, he can’t. He has to study.
Claire
He’s just lazy and he doesn’t help in the house. He should do some housework too.
Nigel
That’s not true. I help in the house quite a lot.
Mrs Sheen
Come on, children. You shouldn’t quarrel like that.
Claire
Dad, may I go to see Million Dollar Baby with Patrick?
Mr Sheen
Yes, all right, Claire, but you must come straight home afterwards. What time does it finish?
Mr Sheen
Well, you must be home by half past eight.
Claire
Okay, you needn’t worry. Can I have next week’s pocket money now?
Claire
Oh please, Dad. Be a sport.
