Role Play - Counsellor
I believe that modern marriages are all about equality. It's a 50-50% partnership. If you share all your highs and lows, it is only logical for you to do so with the chores as well. It would decrease the number arguments you as a couple would go through, it is easier to remember and maintain. And you would not have to worry about you not getting the ones you wanted because you've left the decision of which chores you get on fate, or, let's say, a game of 'rock-paper-scissors'.
Of course, it is not yet something that should be set in stone. You should make it rather a flexible schedule so to allow both of you to have the chance to switch chores or took 'shifts' for one another.
I believe it would be a good idea to leave you, par. B, with a fixed amount of housework which would be only your responsibility. And leave the following to par. A. I've heard that you, par. B, do enjoy cooking, so maybe it would be a good idea if you took over that one entirely. Following with cleaning and dusting as these are not too tiring even after a long day of work.

Role play
Counsellor
I believe all modern couples should share all household chores, and that’s why. Anyone in the couple don’t have to feel like work horse, it’s wrong when someone relaxing during that another doing work. Both in the couple have to understand, from now that’s our home, our household chores, and we have to be responsible. Also it’s important to walk outside sometimes, and if one in the couple won’t be able to take a walk because of big amount of housework, it’s wrong. If the person only tiding the house and nothing else, it can cause aggressive behavior, it even can cause argue between the couple. It can be a big disaster for relations.
For partner A
You really need to talk with your partner. If she works less than you, or completely doesn’t work, you have to share a half of your household chores or even more to make a balance. Maybe it will be great if you and your partner take a rest for few days and discuss about this situation. I believe in the calm atmosphere you’ll find a solution.

SORRY, I forgot to post the previous homework. Shame on me.
Speaking I really like parties. When my friends and I celebrate smt together we take a lot of photos because want to stop and recognise this great time. Most of all I like celebrating New Year's Day. This is a lovely time with a small drop of magic. You are waiting for Santa Claus, getting presents and most mainly of all you are giving happiness to your surroundings in case of your presents. The next my favourite celebration is National Days. On these days all Ukrainians gather in their cities to dance, sing and cook together. Also, some families have special matched clothes for wearing on this day, so they really look great in the city centre when walk together. My family also do this and I think that this is a really cool tradition. What can I say about graduation? Ohhhh for me it's a perfect time in our lives, coz we did all, we tried so hard, not slept at night, and in the end, prove that this wasn't in vain, that now we can proud of ourselves. I think this is the best feeling. And the last one celebrating is Birthdays. I don't know why but when I get older I don't want to have a big party or any type of celebration for my birthday coz for me this isn't matter. I like to buy presents and give them to my relatives on their birthdays, spend this day with them and see smiles on their faces. This is meanest for me than my birthday. TODAY'S homework Role Play Partner A Dear, we really have to talk. Why do I have to do most of the housework when coming home? I think this is unfair ... Stop don't say that you work harder than me. I heard this one hundred times and don't want to hear again your explanations. I know that you earn double the money as me but you spend most of them on your training, running marathons and also on regular meetings with friends. It's stupid I guess. You should save it or buy smt for home. For example, a washing vacuum. Also, you do a minuscule of all housework at home ... Are you kidding me? Do you really think that throwing the garbage is enough? You know that I have problems with my back and cannot bend down, so you have to help me all the time after work. I think that healthy relationships are built with mutual respect and mutual assistance. But I cannot see this is from you. If you really take care of me, we have to share our chores by way of 50/50. I also work hard and come back home too late. I'm not a robot, first of all, I'm a woman and your lovely wife, and you have to know this. I think that cooking, washing and ironing are my part of the housework and the other work is yours. If you don't agree with me you have to pack your things and get out. I apply for divorce ...

SPEAKING (I'm sorry, i forgot to post it)
All proposed events are exciting and it was really hard to choose only four, but finally I can show you my top list of the best events. I put birthdays on the top, because i just love them. And it's not only about my birthday. I enjoy the atmosphere of all birthdays. And it's great opportunity to spend a great time with your friends and relatives. Then, I decided to put graduations. When you have a great class or group, it can be exciting to spend time with them and to recall all interesting moments. The next one is wedding. As for me, it's a very important event in each person's life. Recently, i was at the wedding. It was so emotional and cool there. And the last is golden jubelium. To my mind, living together for such a long time is show that people love each other a and that they made "a right choice".
ROLE PLAY (counsellor)
I believe that modern marriages should be 50/50 relationships. If both have a work, they should share all household chores. And here are three reasons why. Firstly,in my opinion, it will be unfair if only one person does most of the housework. Then, it just respect to your partner. You can be tired and he/she also. And the last reason is very simple but at the same time is really important, to my mind. If you do all housework together, you will do it quicker and will have more free time to spend together

ROLE PLAY So if I work 50 hours I can`t physically do housework in 50/50. I earn double the money that my partner gets and I work longer in my job so I come to home more tired than my partner. I don’t like to do housework but I can do it little . I think it will be 50/50 relationship because I work longer, my partner do housework more. I can cooking and something else and my partner does other housework. It is nice solution for me.

Speaking: place to live
I think that the most interesting place when you can live is a houseboat. As for me it`s kind of romantic especially if you live with your partner, but anyway if you are alone it would be a nice and wonderful place where you can take a great pictures of yourself and there will be a really great sights on river or whatever kind of water area you will live.
Secondly, on my mind, it would be really fantastic to live in a caravan. It has something mysterious to live in caravan. You will be like in movie, I would rather say, like in a fairy tale. And like in previous variant you can take a great photos and spend time in very interesting way.
Another non ordinary place where you can live is a log cabin, just because it will be a place when you can be leaved alone with your own thoughts. It can be really cosy place to you, where you can do whatever and whenever you want.
And thinking about in what interesting place I can still have a great time, I would choose igloo, because it can give you a really great experience. That`s interesting place where you can create your own comfort zone.

Renting a home is better than buying a home
I think renting a home is better when you are young or single (or family of 2 members). Renting the flat it is good if you are deciding where it will be better place for you to live. For example, to see all of Ukraine and other countries. Also for trying life in different parts of the city and live in different types of house like flat at the centre or countryside house. But there is a many disadvantages: you spend a lot of money on renting, without improving your future life and these are not your rules but owners.
Of course, as an adult, it’s better to buy own house and do whatever you want there: rearrange the furniture wherever you want, glue the wallpaper you want, and much more. And the biggest advantage of being homeowner it's that you don't have to throw money down the drain, because all money you spend on house will improve it and make your home life better.

I disagree. Even tho houses cost a ton of money nowadays, and saving money to own one would take a lot of time, I still think that it is worth it. You can think of this as more of an investment, rather than just "spending money", really. And, after living in a rental long enough, you'll figure out that over time you've already paid the actual price of your apartment (or maybe even more) but it will never become fully yours.
And if you buy a house, it becomes your property, you can do whatever you want with it, change it however you like. You can turn your house into whatever pleases you and make it as personal & comfortable for you as possible. You can't do this with a rental apartment, you'll have to consider what the landlord's gotta say, always. Nonetheless, it brings some sort of comfort, and a sense of security I might say, 'cause, even as a bare minimum, you don't have to worry that someone will eventually evict you.

Speaking - Place to Live
It was hard for me to choose just four and rank them, 'cause these were all pretty interesting.
1) Caravan - I would love to try to live in a van. It have always been my dream to own one. It's a great way to travel 'cause it's got everything you need in one place. It has enough space for a whole family. And it's like a moving home! Great for a homebird like me.
2) Houseboat - this one also seems fun. But I'm afraid of sea travelling and I can't swim, which is not good in case of an emergency.
3) Igloo - it's very small, tho I've heard that it's not actually that cold inside. Out of the "weirder" ones (that are coming up next) this is actually the one I'm most likely to try to live in (willingly), tho I'm pretty sure that at the start I'd still be terrified to freeze to death.
4) 4-room tent - funny, interesting, but I'm afraid of it being blown away by the wind, sorry. And I genuinely would not enjoy living in a forest (or in any other area where you usually set up tents, anywhere without proper ceiling basically) Same goes to living in a cave. I personally would not like to be living in a cave. But I do think that this is a very odd yet interesting choice. Both of those.
On the last place would be a house or an apartment, as these are the most 'ordinary' of the bunch. Yet I have no complaints about living in one.

Speaking - Place to Live
1) A caravan. It is the most interesting place and I would like to live in it for several months. I have read there are all facilities for normal living : slepping space, electricity, water and toilet, kitchen equipped with oven and coffeemaker, fridge and a sink. So it‘s the best place to live for travell around the world without any discomfort.
2) A houseboat. It is very unusual for our country and i would like to try it only as a tour with guide for a couple of weeks. I would like a guide to take me to beautiful channels and different amazing places. Living in houseboat is entertaining as for me , but i’m afraid of water openness and i would never agree to live there for long time ,especially without professional sailor.
3) A 4-room tent. It is cool as for travel to mountains with friends or family. And it’s better than individual tents , because you all together can hide from the cold inside and tell stories. There must be a cool friendly vibe.
4) House. It is quite ordinary, but interesting than a flat. There you can have garden and yard with fruit trees, vetgeables, berries, and rest zone. House is the best place to live for big family with kids.

Writting In my opinion, buying your own home is much better than renting it. First of all, it will be your own home in which you can do anything you want. Secondly, the funds for such housing will be significantly less than for rented housing, cause you will have to pay only for communal services. but, of course, not everyone can buy their home, because for this you need to collect a large enough amount of money.
Speaking My dream is to live in a caravan. Maybe someone finds it weird or not convenient, but for me it is a real goal. There is nothing superfluous in this house, but there is everything that is necessary. One of the priorities of such a house is that it can be traveled without leaving your home. It sounds slightly absurd, but it is true. And since I plan to connect my life with travel and life on the move, this is a really good option.
The next home is a 4-room tent. I love nature and everything related to it, so life in a tent is a fairy tale for a nature lover like me. It can be a bit inconvenient, but you can get used to everything if you want to. And besides, you can invite friends or good acquaintances to a 4-room tent (perhaps not for a long period of time) so that you don't feel lonely if you live alone. Therefore, for people who want to rest from city noise, or from people in general, this is a cool choice.
House. Now I live in my own house, so I can say that it is quite convenient. Large space, more opportunities, for example, you can go out into your private yard, create your own vegetable garden, the products from which are much more useful and tastier. And it is also a good option for people who love animals and always wanted to get a big dog or someone else, but living in an apartment could not.
Houseboat. An unusual option for people who are used to living in simple houses. It is somehow related to the caravan, because such a house can also be used to travel and enjoy the world. Of course, it has everything you need and nothing extra. In my opinion, the only downside is that people with seasickness will not be able to live in it, even if they really want to.

Writing Renting a home is better than buying a home. I cannot say that renting is a bad type of living at all, coz most of all Europeans and British people rent their houses. They live on suitcases and are fully satisfied with their lifestyle. Of course, someone can say that in most cases renting is a waste of our money and time but also, this is a great decision for young people to start living alone and feeling like a real householder. On the one hand, nowadays house prices are skyrocketing and in time, it is more and more difficult for ordinary people to buy their own home so for them renting stay a great alternative. But on the other hand, to live stuck in rent is stupid coz the money that you spend on monthly payments during the years you can save and buy a home. So in the end, I want to say that this is your life and your choice of where you have to live. But even if it is a rented flat or your own house you have to feel yourself comfortable and protected there. Speaking My top
In childhood, all of us dreamt about living in an unusual and interesting place. In the whole world, there are many specific houses and flats so now I'm gonna tell you about my top of them. First of all, I want to speak about igloos. Oh, I guess that this is a really cold place but at the same time so amazing for living. The walls and all in the house are made of ice and if I were a child now and lived there, I definitely lick something and my tongue and I stick haha. The next specific place for living is a caravan. As you know I want to spend one part of my life on a travell and I have always dreamt about a home on wheels, like a trailer with rooms. Oh, I think it is really cool to spend one day in one place and the next day move to another more interesting place. Also, I want to do this with my dog. Then maybe I can say about a log cabin. It's a great place to isolate yourself from the rest of the world. Only you, your thoughts and the beautiful incomparable beauty of the forest. And last but not least is a houseboat. I don't think that this is a great place for living but for travelling, I guess yes. Like a caravan, it's a comfortable and interesting home but also scary. Some time ago I watched a movie called "Adrift" and after that, I rejected a houseboat from the top of my dream home. Only water, sun and deep ocean with its creatures during the months are too for me, I guess.

Writing. I actually feel like it really depends on a person because I think that most people who rent a home only do that because they simply cannot afford buying one. So the advantage to it is that it's much cheaper. It is also a nice opportunity for those who have to travel a lot, but don't have that much money. It's easier to switch places that way. However, if you're looking for a place to settle down in, or, moreover, if you have a family to live with, it is far better to actually buy a house in order to provide a stable life for everyone involved.
