Umm.. my favorite area in my house is the living room. I love talking to my family there, drinking some coffee. What I like the most about this area is the very comfy sofa. It is very classic. We got it a few weeks ago at IKEA. It was a little pricey, but It's worth it. I usually watch TV or take a nap lying on the sofa in my free time. It's best for me to get some rest. How about you, Ava? Can you tell me about your favorite furniture?

My old mattress immediately comes to mind. I bought a new mattress a month ago. I had used the previous one for more than ten years, and I wasn’t really interested in furniture. I didn’t even think about buying a new bed because there was no problem with it. However, one day I noticed my back was hurting, and I went to see a doctor. He said my posture was so bad and recommended that I check my mattress. After that, I realized there were some broken springs and my bed was really saggy. I ended up getting a natural latex memory foam mattress which was pretty expensive. My mom always says, “You get what you pay for." I agree with her. Now I’m really happy with my new mattress.

I like to do housework, especially when I get stressed. That’s a great way to take my mind off the problems. I vacuum and mop the floor. I have abundant hair, and there is so much hair everywhere in my house, which is so annoying. I also declutter any stuff scattered on the floor, and I do other things like doing the laundry, doing the dishes, preparing meals, etc. I’m generally busy with work on weekdays. That’s why I do housework on the weekends

 

8) What were your childhood experiences with household chores like? Describe the chores you were assigned and your feelings about them.

 

-> When I was young, I vacuumed and mopped the floor. I was also responsible for recycling, gathering items separately at home and taking them out once a week. Additionally, I did the dishes after dinner. I often felt tired because I did a lot of housework, but I felt better because I received an allowance each time.

 

9) Have you ever faced chores that you couldn't complete? If yes, please elaborate on the circumstances that prevented you from doing them.Feel free to provide specific details about the challenges you had and how you dealt with them.

The worst thing would be cleaning the bathroom. Last weekend, I found some mold on the bathroom tiles. I hadn’t noticed it before because it was hidden in the corner. In Korea, there’s a drain on the floor in the bathroom. This makes it easy to clean. We can scrub all the surfaces and use the showerhead to rinse. The bathroom gets very wet. That’s why we need to watch for mold on the tiles and the walls. Anyway, I didn’t feel like touching it myself, so I asked my dad to kill the mold. He ended up removing all the mold in the bathroom by using a mold killer. I felt so relieved.
