Daughter: Is there anything I can do to help, Mom?
Mother : Yes, just keep away from this kitchen.
Daughter : Come on, Mom. I want to help.
Mother : You don't have to. Besides, it's almost done.
Daughter : Mom, I'm seventeen years old now. Ever since I was a little girl, you have never let me help you in the kitchen. Don't you think it's time for me to learn house-work?
Mother : All right. If you really want to help, you can peel these potatoes and carrots.
Daughter : Good....How should I peel them? With a knife?
Mother : No, with a peeler. It's in the left drawer over there.
Daughter : I see....Am I doing it right?
Mother : Yes....Put this on the burner.
Daughter: (She puts it on the burner.) Shall I turn the burner on?
Mother : No, not yet. Have you finished peeling?
Daughter: Almost. Anything else that I can do?
Mother : Yes, open these cans. Here is the opener. After that you can set the table.
Daughter : My pleasure, Mam.
