Question 16. 

a. Girls are more likely than boys to take responsibility for washing their own clothes.

b. In fact, more than two-thirds of the teenagers surveyed clean the floors at least once a week, and over 80% regularly set the table or do the washing-up.

c. However, there are still a few teenagers who only do housework because their parents make them, as they feel these years should be enjoyed rather than interrupted with household duties.

d. Instead, many of them view these tasks as a way to prepare for adult life, while others believe it is only fair to help their parents, especially if both parents work.

e. According to a recent study, the majority of teenagers do housework without any intention of earning pocket money.
