Eg: A paragraph is simple:

There are four people in my family: my parents, my older brother and I. We 

are all very busy people, so we divide the household chores equally. My 

Mom does cooks, cleans the room and shops for grocery. My Dad does the 

hard stuff like lifting heavy things and repairs work like fixing plumbing 

and electricity. My older brother takes out the rubbish, cleans the house and 

feeds the dogs. And me, I do the washing-up, do the laundry and water the 

flowers. In my family, every member contributes to making the home a 

beautiful and happy place to live in.
