There is always a lot to do, so I help my mother with watering the flowers, tidying up, cleaning up the mess, and hanging out the washing.
Fortunately, we have some labor-saving devices, like the Hoover, microwave oven, washing machine, and dishwasher.
Áttekintés: otthoni teendők és eszközök
I don’t really like doing the washing up and the washing, ironing and sweeping the floor. Although I hate dusting the furniture, hoovering or cleaning the windows I have to do it sometimes. I like to keep my place clean and tidy, that’s why I always put my things back on the shelf and I have very well-organized drawers.
Housekeeping jobs may be listed in different ways, but the most common terms describing such kind of jobs are: housekeeper (someone who is employed to manage the cleaning, cooking etc.

Családi dinamika és közös háztartás
There are four of us in my family: my mum who earns money, my grandma who has already been retired, my brother and me. My mother is employed in Veszprém by the government. She works in an office, but she tend to organise different programs especially for young people, like career counselling and charity concerts. Many years ago, she used to work in Várpalota, dealing with unemployed people. Then she came to Fehérvár for some years. Are they satisfied with it? The money my mum earns is relatively a good salary, but sometimes we need to spare. My mum often complains about having to work overtime. My brother, who is 12 years old, goes to primary school in Várpalota. He is in his 7th year. He is a good pupil especially in English and in Maths, but he hasn’t decided yet what kind of school he would like to attend later (he might come to Tóparti).
Hogyan osztjuk meg a háztartási feladatokat?
How do you share the housework in your family? It is my mum who does most of the housework in my family. I help with the cleaning and with the washing-up, and sometimes with the laundry, too, and I love helping with the cooking. My brother and I clean our own rooms and take care of our dog, but, what we completely boring find is shopping. My mum can go to plenty of shops a day and she can waste 4 or 5 hours a weekend on buying food and clothes! We rarely iron our clothes in my family, just our shirts and my brother’s suit. He is into DIY and he can fix things easily, except the water taps (he can fix his desk all by himself! J). I can change the light bulbs as well and sometimes I clean the windows. We are environment-conscious and we have energy-saving household devices. We have a vakuum-cleaner, a washing-machine, a microwave-oven, mixers, blenders, an oven, a toaster, a percolator, a lawn-mower and an electric drill.
Technológiák és média az otthonban
Television and high-speed internet have become a necessity for many people in the 21st century. Television is not only a form of entertainment but also a source of information for a significant number of the population, and is especially helpful for the elderly, who often have trouble reading newspapers. In the developed world the internet has taken over the role of television as a source of information for the younger generations, while providing entertainment as well. You can typically order cable television subscription from various providers, after checking their offers and packages. Most cable providers take orders by phone on a toll-free number and send the set-top box via post to your home for self-installation, along with the contract to be signed and returned.
Infrastruktúra és internet
The two main types of internet are cable internet and DSL (digital subscriber line). Whichever you pick you will need a cable modem or a DSL modem that is plugged into a wall socket. You can either buy one or pick a provider that offers modems for rent or for free, depending on your package. More and more people need wireless internet as well for their tablets or phones, so make sure you discuss the option of getting a Wi-Fi router from your provider. If you would like to use two desktop computers or connect your laptop for a faster connection than through Wi-Fi, an ADSL splitter will sort the problem. Depending on the status of the network, connecting your home to the internet may take days or weeks, which can be frustrating.
