Alice
Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English. I’m Alice…
Neil
And I’m Neil.
Alice
Neil, how often do you do the washing up at home?
Neil
Oh, you know, on special occasions – like after a Christmas lunch!
Alice
That’s terrible, Neil!
Neil
Well, domestic chores are the subject of today’s show. And you know what? I’m not very good at them.
Alice
Domestic means to do with the family or home and a chore is a boring job that needs doing. Not being good at chores sounds like a bad excuse for avoiding housework, Neil.
Neil
I suppose you’re right. But I wasn’t surprised to learn that on average women spend several more hours a day doing chores at home than men. Maybe men have a higher threshold for dirt and untidiness.
Alice
Do you have a high threshold, Neil?
Neil
Yes. And threshold means the point at which you begin to feel something. It takes a lot of dirt and untidiness to make me feel I need to start clearing up.
