I will automatically send them to you every single week in your email inbox.

It is my gift to you.

So click on the link in the description to get the free worksheet for today's lesson.

So to get started changing the sheets, I have to have a couple things.

I have to have some clean sheets prepared, and I also need a laundry basket.

This is where we're going to put the dirty sheets.

They're not really that dirty, but you know what?

It's a good idea to change your sheets every now and then, and it's something that I put off.

I should do it probably every other week.

That's the goal, but I put it off except for today.

In today's lesson, I am not putting it off anymore.

This is for you.

So the first thing that we need to do is we need to strip the bed.

You could say simply take off the old sheets, but we often use this word strip.

I'm going to strip or strip off this quilt.

I'm going to strip off this comforter.

It's actually a duvet comforter.

You can put a duvet cover over top of it, but I just call it a comforter.

And I'm going to take off this sheet.

I will explain all about these sheets in just a minute.

Now this I'm going to wash so I will put it in my laundry basket.

I'm going to also take these pillows and you might ask why do you have so many pillows?

Are there, why are there four pillows?

Well why would I live in a world where I just need one pillow when I can have two pillows, right?

So these are not decorative pillows.

Some people have decorative pillows on their bed.

I'm not that kind of person, but I like to have one pillow under my head and sometimes I hug a pillow.

Sometimes I have that pillow for back support.

We call that lumbar support sometimes when I'm sleeping and I'm going to throw the pillowcases in the laundry basket.

Let me know, are you someone who sleeps with more than one pillow?

I definitely am, and I feel grateful that I live in a world where I can sleep comfortably, right?

So let's take all these off.

As you can see, I am not a stickler for matching sheets or matching pillowcases.

So these are a matching set.

You can see, I think you can see a little bit that these are matching.

They have little polka dots on them.

But really, whenever I do the sheets, I just grab whatever sheets are clean, whatever pillowcases are clean, and that's what I put on the bed.

Some people are pickier than me, but I am not.

All right, so next we need to take off Thank you.

the fitted sheet.

So this sheet has elastic and I'm going to take off this fitted, fitted sheet.

I need to go all the way around the bed and not trip, trip over things.

So I will take off this fitted sheet.

This is the one that is annoying to put on.

Some fitted sheets don't actually fit a bed very well, but this one, this one seems to fit okay.

So I'm going to take off this fitted sheet and the next thing is,

I need to find the new clean fitted sheet somewhere in here.

Note that the pronunciation of this, fitted, those t's are going to sound like Ds in American English because they're surrounded by vowels.

Fitted, not fitted.

Fitted, fitted.

That's one of the tricks that makes spoken English sound so fast because we change one letter for another,

one word kind of blends into the next word because of all those little tips and tricks.

All right, this is my clean fitted sheet.

I have two pairs of fitted sheets for this bed, which means one of them can be dirty and the other can be clean.

And I don't need to do the laundry in order to have a clean set of sheets.

So that's generally the term that we would use.

This is a set of sheets, the matching set.

This is not a matching set.

I don't care.

But I'm going to put this on my bed

and you're going to see there's an inside and an outside

and I have to figure out which side is the long side and which side is the short side.

I think that's a problem everybody has when they make the bed with this type of with these types of sheets.

All right I'm going to tuck it in

around here and oh I did it wrong I have the long side here so what I'm going to do

pull that off and find this corner

so this is the corner of the sheet I'm going to try to tuck it under the mattress

and back here as well I'm going to tuck this corner around the mattress

and usually the truth is

when I make the bed I have at least one child very excited

that there is a big flat jumping surface available and somebody is jumping on the bed while I'm doing this,

but I sent everybody outside while I was making this video for you.

All right, so I'll get this one tucked in and you might see we have this lovely patch.

I sewed on this patch because I love these sheets.

They're so comfortable.

I think they're like linen sheets.

They're really nice.

They're a little wrinkly, but it's okay.

But they got a rip in them.

Sometimes natural fibers just aren't as durable as like polyester or more like man -made materials.

So these linen sheets, they're just not very durable, but I didn't want to throw them away.

100

I wanted to try to fix them myself.

101

So I cut, I had a piece of extra fabric.

102

You can see from these sheets, there was like an extra little square, a little like bag that these sheets came in and I had saved that.

103

And I cut that little bag.

104

It was not a bag to use to carry stuff.

105

It was just to stuff the sheets in when you buy it.

106

And I sewed it onto the hole and now there's a nice little patch there and we can use these sheets again.

107

Hooray!

108

All right now that we have the fitted sheet on let's get the flat sheet.

109

That's what this guy is called.

110

And there is a top and a bottom you can see there is a thicker seam here to here.

111

This is the seam.

112

This is a thin seam right here

113

but this thick seam is going to go at the top, ideally so I'm going to just toss this across the bed

114

and Make sure that it's relatively even.

115

We don't want to let Dan have all the sheets, right?

116

I got to have some sheets too on my side.

117

All right, that is good enough for me.

118

Usually I'll tuck the corners in so that they don't get messed up too much.

119

My kids love to hide under my sheets and they play in the blankets,

120

which means that oftentimes all of my sheets and blankets end up on the floor.

121

Maybe it's just foolhardy to think that if I tuck the corner of my sheet in they'll stay in place.

122

Yeah I'm probably fooling myself but that's the way it goes.

123

All right next I'm going to add this duvet cover

124

because there's a tag I try to keep

125

that at the bottom of the bed so that it's not in our faces

126

and this one pull up like this and this quilt I'm going to just throw on.

127

Now this quilt is not a special homemade quilt.

128

We do have a quilt that Dan's great -grandmother sewed and we often use that on our bed.

129

I did not bring it out for this video but that's a very special quilt.

130

You can tell it's a quilt, not just a blanket because it has these little squares.

131

And this is just from a company,

132

nothing very personal, but it still has the squares of fabric that have been sewn together.

133

And in older times, people would save patches of their fabric,

134

of their clothing after their clothing got old, and they would make blankets out of it because you had to reuse things more.

135

I try to be thrifty as well

136

but I don't think I could ever make a quilt unless

137

I really needed to unless it was a necessity all right here we go

138

and next we have our assorted pillowcases

139

and I'm going to put a couple on it's interesting some pillowcases I don't know if it's the same in your country.

140

Some pillowcases have this little flap here to keep the pillow in,

141

and some pillowcases are just a little opening and you have to shove the pillowcase or the pillow in.

142

This one has a little flap, but it maybe keeps the pillow in better.

143

I'm not sure.

144

All right, let's see if I can shove it in a little bit better.

145

And I know this is Dan's pillow.

146

So that's gonna go up there.

147

This pillow is mine and I'm gonna put the pillowcase on this as well.

148

There is a tag on the pillow so technically maybe some people would put that at the very end, but I don't care.

149

Like I said, this is my least favorite chore.

150

You see how cool this is?

151

There's like a little flap and then you can pull up that piece so that it stays nice and tucked in there.

152

Great.

153

All right, now here's the choice.

154

I can give my second and pillow, the same color as my first pillow.

155

Let's do it.

156

Let's just be sensible, won't we?

157

I think this pillow case is actually from another set.

158

It doesn't belong with the linen blue sheets, but it's still blue.

159

So that's all right, that's what matters to me.

160

Now what's worse than doing the sheets on my bed is doing the sheets on my kids' bed.

161

Oh, that's the worst they have a bunk bed

162

and they like to sleep with a lot of stuffed animals

163

so I have them take off all of the stuffed animals from their bed

164

and I ask them to take the sheets off their bed to strip their beds

165

but it's kind of hard for them at this age young age to put their own sheets back on the bed, especially that fitted sheet.

166

So I'd have to do that.

167

I don't know.

168

It's just a chore I don't like.

169

It's not a big deal, but you know, there's always, there's always chores that we don't like, even though they're not a big deal.

170

And then whenever you do them and they're finished.

171

it feels good.

172

I feel good right now.

173

Have you ever had that happen where you have

174

a chore or a phone call you have to make

175

and you're just dreading it and then you do it and it wasn't actually that bad in the first place?

176

This is the same for me all the time.

177

Well, thank you for joining me for this very intimate daily life chore, something that I don't enjoy,

178

but I enjoy telling you about.

179

So I hope that you can go out into the real world, express yourself better, and just feel confident when you speak.

180

That is the whole goal.

181

No matter what you're talking about, maybe you're talking about making the bed, maybe you're talking about something else.

182

I want you to feel confident when you speak.

183

So don't forget to download the free PDF worksheet with all of today's vocabulary, key expressions, sample sentences, definitions,

184

and that bonus downloadable audio so that you can listen to this lesson wherever you are.

185

You can listen to it while you are also changing your sheets.

187

194

gift to you okay before you go i have to show

195

you this beautiful quilt this is the one i was mentioning this is the one

196

that my husband's great grandmother made she sewed all of this by hand

197

so there's little beautiful stitches for every single one of these colors and there's stitching even on the white.

198

So here she's made beautiful patterns.

199

This is what we call a labor of love.

200

This is absolutely a labor of love and this quilt is not the fuzziest or the warmest thing that we have,

201

but it is so special and it's really an heirloom.

202

It's something that's passed down in our family and I hope someday my kids get to enjoy this as well.

203

All right, well thank you so much for learning English with me.
