Section A 3a

Hi Jake,

Sorry I couldn’t get back to you sooner. I have so many chores to do today. I have to do my homework, of course. I started about an hour ago, but I haven’t finished. Then I have to take the dog for a walk, water my mom’s plants and do some shopping. I haven’t done any of those things yet because my grandfather came to chat with me. He loves talking and I love listening to him. He started telling me about all of the chores he had to do when he was a kid. He had to get up at 5 am to chop wood and light the fire for breakfast. Then he had to collect water from the village well. Then he had to feed the animals –he and his family lived on the farm.

Anyway, I have to run now.

Take care,

Crystal
