Read the story and answer the questions.
1. Why was Nancy’s mom angry with her?
Nancy wanted to watch TV first before taking the dog out for a walk. Nancy watched TV all the time instead of helping out around the house.
2. Did they solve the problem? How?
Yes, they did. Both Nancy and her mother did not do any housework for a week. The house got so messy that Nancy could not even find a clean dish or a clean shirt. She decided to do the housework to make the house clean and tidy again. She apologized to her mom and said that she finally understood they need to share the housework in order to have a clean and comfortable home.
Language points
1.The minute I sat down in front of the TV, my mom came over.
the minute在此引导时间状语从句，意为“一……就……”，相当于as soon as。
他一到那里，我就告诉他。
I’ll tell him the minute he gets there.
2. I’m just as tired as you are!
as ... as 意为 “和……一样” ，表示同级的比较。使用时要注意第一个as为副词，第二个as为连词。其基本结构为：as + adj./ adv. + as。
如：This film is as interesting as that one.
这部电影和那部电影一样有趣。
Your pen writes as smoothly as mine.
你的钢笔书写起来和我的一样流畅。
3.For one week, she did not do any housework and neither did I.
“neither+助动词/系动词/情态动词+主语”表示上句
否定的情况也适合于后者。
他们昨天没有看电视。我也没看。
—They didn’t watch TV yesterday.
—Me neither./ Neither did I.
情态动词could的用法
情态动词could构成的句型用于向对方委婉地提出请求或征求对方的许可。用于疑问句中，可代替can，在时间上与can没有区别，但语气要比can委婉、有礼貌。其答语没有固定的形式，但要符合上下文的语境。
