Dear Patrick,

     I got a new job today helping a nice family do the housework. In the Peterson family, there are 1______

(四) kids, two cats and two 2______ (鸟), so there's a lot to do. I have to cook a meal once a week. I've

already thought 3______ (关于) the first meal I will cook. I'll make a 4______ (水果) salad and if I have time

I'll also make a 5______ (蛋糕). After the meal, of course, I'll 6______ (洗) the dishes. During the day, I need

to make beds and do some 7______ (打扫). Then I have to do the weekly shopping and pick up the kids from

school and make sure they do their 8______ (家庭作业). Sounds like a busy day? There's more, much more.

Whew, I think it will take 9______ (更长久) than one day a week to 10______ (完成) all these chores.
