Dear Grandma,
How are you? We are all fine. My mother is busy at the drugstore, and my father is fixing the old shelf in the living room.
Last week my sister and I washed the dog together. He was not happy, and my brother did not want to help, either!
Uncle Sam will get married in October. Can you come to the wedding with us? We can pick you up by car.
Love,
Emily

In many homes, women do most of the housework. But things are changing in Taiwan. More fathers now wash clothes, cook dinner and take care of children.
Some families make a list every week. Each person picks two or three jobs. For example, children can clean their own rooms or feed the pet.
Teachers say this is a good idea. Children learn to think about other people when they help at home.
