I hate doing chores because it's very tiring and boring. At home, I help my parents, that's normal. I make my bed, I often lay [US: set] the table and I wash my bowl after (the) breakfast. But I don't like taking out the rubbish [US:trash] because it's really disgusting, and I don't hoover [US: vacuum] because dust makes me sneeze!
