Hello and welcome to english as a
second language podcast number 23. My name is doctor Jeff Macquillion with a
center of educational development we are coming to you from Los Angeles
California if this is your firstlistening to this podcast first time listening
please go to your website at www. eslpod.com to find out more information about
this podcast. today's topic is going to be spring cleaning. cleaning up the
house making sure everything is clean we are gonna talk about the vocabulary as
always after we discussed the let's get started.
Spring cleaning is supposed to
take place before summer, not after it. But, as usual, I procrastinated and now
I have to finally get rid of all the junk I've accumulated over the year. But
now there are no if's, and's, or but's about it--the cleaning must be done!
I start in my bedroom. I have a
king bed, with a sheet on the mattress and a top sheet, with pillow cases on
the pillows. Atop all that I have a down comforter. Well, they all need to be
washed, so into the machine they go. Next I start in on the closet. What a
mess! I've got boxes and bins full of stuff that need sorting . Finally, I have
to vacuum the carpet and dust. Whew! Quite a job! Good thing I don't have any
drapes, just shades on the windows.
But I'm not done yet. It's time
to move on to the kitchen. I have a combination stove and oven, both of which I
need to clean. I start with the fridge, though, which needs the most work. I
take out the shelves and rinse them all off. Then I dump anything that has
passed its expiration date. Then its back to the stove, which I need to scrub
clean of the grease and stains , and the same for the oven. Finally, I wash all
the dirty dishes and put them in a dish rack next to the sink.
Spring cleaning is always a mixed
bag for me. It's a lot of work, but I also find things I've been missing for
the past year! Maybe next time I'll manage to do my spring cleaning in the
spring.
