Cleaning Our Rooms and Laundry
Tom
I always clean my room on Saturday mornings. It takes a long time, so I usually listen to my favourite pop music on my phone. First, I pick up all the dirty clothes from the floor and put them in a big basket. When my clean laundry is ready, I do not put it away alone. My mum comes into my room and helps me put my T-shirts and jeans in the drawers. Then, I tidy my desk so I can do my homework.
Sarah
I do not like spending a long time cleaning, so I tidy my room for ten minutes every afternoon. It is the best way! I never put my clean clothes in drawers because it is boring. Instead, I hang all my dresses and jackets in my big wardrobe. I like my room to be perfectly clean, but it is very difficult. I share the bedroom with my little sister, and she always leaves her toys and books all over the floor!
Ben
I have a great way to clean my room. I always do it in the evening, just before I go to sleep. My dad washes all my dirty clothes, but I always put the clean laundry away by myself. I like my bedroom to look nice, so I put my clean T-shirts into groups. I put the red ones together, then the blue ones, and then the black ones. I also have a box for old clothes that are too small for me.

Returning Gifted Clothes
Returning to the Shop
You can return a gift to the shop easily. First, you must take the clothing in a bag. Do not take the paper labels off the clothes. You need to show the shop assistant the receipt. This shows when your friend bought it. You can ask for a different size or a new colour. Sometimes, the shop cannot give you cash for a gift. They will give you a special card to buy something else in the shop later.
Speaking to the Giver
It is hard to tell someone that you do not like their gift. You must always say thank you first. Tell them that the sweater or dress is beautiful. Then, explain the problem kindly. You can say that it is too big or too small for you. Do not say that the colour is ugly! Ask them if they still have the receipt from the shop. Most people are happy to help you get the right size.
Sending it Back Online
Did your family buy your gift on the internet? You do not need to visit a shop to return it. You must put the clothes back in the same box. Make sure the clothes are completely clean. If you wear them outside, you cannot send them back! You have to print a return paper from the website and put it on the box. Then, take the box to the post office. It is very simple.
