6th grade. Unit 3. Lesson 5. Do you need a helping hand?

How to clean your bedroom in ten minutes? Are you always happy when you look at your room? And what about your parents? Do you think they like what they see? I’m sure very [blank_start]few[blank_end] of them do. Here are [blank_start]some[blank_end] tips on how to tidy up [blank_start]any[blank_end] room if you have [blank_start]little[blank_end] time. All you need is to have an organised plan to clean the room as quickly as possible. Here’s our easy to remember six-step cleaning routine. 1. The first and most basic thing you have to do is to turn on [blank_start]some[blank_end] music you enjoy. It’s better to choose [blank_start]something[blank_end] fast because it will make you move faster than normal. 2. Is there [blank_start]anything[blank_end] on the bed? Throw [blank_start]everything[blank_end] down on the floor. I know, I know. This is how the mess was created in the first place. But it is also an important step in cleaning the room. When there is [blank_start]nothing[blank_end] on the bed, it is easy to make it. And, a made bed makes [blank_start]any[blank_end] room look cleaner. 3. Now [blank_start]everything[blank_end] is ready to start cleaning your room. Are there [blank_start]any[blank_end] clothes lying around? Pick up [blank_start]everything[blank_end] you can wear and put it on the bed. Put [blank_start]any[blank_end] dirty clothes straight into the laundry basket. 4. Do you see [blank_start]any[blank_end] things that are not from your room? Put clothes, dishes and magazines that go into other rooms into [blank_start]a few[blank_end] sorting boxes and put them just outside the door. 5. Now it’s time to put [blank_start]everything[blank_end] in its place. If [blank_start]some[blank_end] things are too (слишком) high for you, ask [blank_start]somebody[blank_end] to help you. 6. Take [blank_start]some[blank_end] time to think. If there is [blank_start]anything[blank_end] you don’t use, ask yourself if you really need it. Put the dustbin in the middle of the room and quickly throw all the rubbish into it. 7. After taking care of things, do the dusting in the room using a cloth to brush dust, rubbish and dirt onto the floor. Dust off your desk, dresser and bookshelves. Try to spend as [blank_start]little[blank_end] time on this task as possible. The music will help you. 8. Look under your bed and check if there is [blank_start]something[blank_end] (or somebody) there. If you see [blank_start]some[blank_end] things, take them from under the bed and sort [blank_start]everything[blank_end] out. 9. When there is [blank_start]nothing[blank_end] on the floor, start vacuuming or mopping the floor. Don’t forget to check the corners. When you finish, put away the vacuum cleaner or the mop and don’t forget the dustbin. 10. Congratulations! You are done! Now you can Instagram your room or invite [blank_start]somebody[blank_end] to see how clean it is. Be careful, though. If you invite too [blank_start]many[blank_end] friends, you’ll have to start cleaning all over again. And remember, [blank_start]nobody[blank_end] will keep your room tidy if you don’t do it.
