At my homestay, what do I have to do around the house in terms of housework ?
Being in a homestay means that you are part of a New Zealand family where people are expected to help each other around the house. Normally this means that you are expected to make your bed each day and keep your room tidy. You may also be asked or expected to help set the table or do other small things around the house as part of the family. However, if you feel that you are being asked to do too much or do not understand what is going on, as in all cases when you have a question or problem, ask your school for advice and assistance because this is their job; this is what they are there for. Do not be shy, as they want you to be happy and have a good time as well as to learn .
