good time with his children.
you are wrong. Paul is a househusband(家庭主夫). He looks after the children at home,and
he does same things as any housewife does. He makes

school. He makes dinner for his family.
He can cook very (good). Then he puts the children to bed—all
when Mrs. Jones is at work.
Mrs. Jones is an /'fIs/
worker. She works long hours,so she /'seldəm/ sees her children when
she works. But on Saturdays and Sundays the family have a good time together.
"Many people don't understand(理解) me,but I like my life. I'm (do) what I want to do," says Paul.
