A: I called you at seven and you didn't pick up. ?
B: Oh, I was doing the dishes at that time last night. My mom didn't feel well, so I had to help around the house.
A: Oh, sorry to hear that! ?
B: She had a backache. You know, as a doctor, she hardly had enough time to have a good rest.
A: Yeah, we should share some chores at home. Anyway, we can benefit (受益) a lot by doing chores.
B: . Aha, I almost forgot to ask you why you called me.
A: I got into another fight with my brother. I wanted to watch TV. Because I wanted to watch Wangchuqin' competitions in the Paris Olympic. But he didn't allow me to watch them. ?
B: ? Proper communication can work all the time.
A: OK, I'll have a try. Thank you.
B: My pleasure.
