Progress Test 1 READING Read the article. Are sentences 1-5 (A) Right or (B) Wrong? 1 The writer never likes to help clean the house. A Right B Wrong 2 The writer, her sister, and her brother clean their own bedrooms. A Right B Wrong 3 The kitchen is the biggest room in the writer’s house. A Right B Wrong 4 The writer is happy that she can’t stay online all the time. A Right B Wrong 5 The kids always get an hour and a half to send texts and chat online. A Right B Wrong Our House Rules My parents want the best for me, my brother, and my sister. They teach us to be responsible, neat, and well-organized. That’s why they make us do things around the house that we aren’t always interested in doing. One job is looking after our bedrooms. We have to straighten them up, clean, make our beds, and put our things away. Each of us also looks after a different part of our home. My sister cleans the living room and I clean a smaller room: the kitchen. My mom usually helps me because the kitchen is a big job. My brother does things outside in the garden, and he also takes out the trash. Another rule in our house involves the Internet and the phone. Teenagers like to chat online or on the phone – I know because I am one! It’s part of our daily routine. But sometimes we can’t turn the computer off or put the phone down. My parents tell us we can chat online or on the phone for an hour and a half each day, and that’s all. That’s good because I get my homework done. Of course, that hour and a half becomes nothing when we don’t help out. Ask my brother – he knows! These are some of our house rules. What happens in your house? Leave a comment on my blog. I’d love to hear from you! 12
