Para ganar mi paga, tengo que ayudar en casa.

Tengo que hacer mi cama todos los días y saco la basura los martes y los jueves. Por la noche lavo los platos y los fines de semana pongo la ropa en la lavadora. Además, una vez al mes lavo el coche de mi padre.

Mis amigos reciben más dinero que yo y no hacen nada para ganarlo, ¡No es justo!

También debo pagar mi factura de móvil, pero mis padres son amables y pagan por todo que lo necesito.
