four point eleven i'm lazy

but i like living in a clean tidy home maybe you're the same it doesn't matter

if you live by yourself with a partner

or with a group of friends you're always going to have to do some housework learn a few cleaning tricks

and you can have a clean home

and still have plenty of time to relax

and do nothing tip one clean quickly

but often clean for just 10 minutes twice a day this gives you time to for example load the dishwasher

and do one other thing like vacuuming set an alarm on

your phone to motivate yourself tip 2 keep cleaning products in the right place.

Put cleaning products near the place where you need them.

Keep bathroom cleaners in the bathroom, keep bin bags by the bin and keep dishwasher tablets on top of the dishwasher.

Sometimes you don't clean if you can't immediately see what you need and you don't want to look for it.

Tip 3.

Clean the microwave regularly.

You probably use this every day and it gets dirty quickly, believe me.

But cleaning it is super easy.

All you need to do is pour a little water into a microwave -safe bowl, slice a lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the water.

Then put the two halves of the lemon in the bowl and microwave on high for three minutes.

Leave the door closed for another five minutes and then clean the inside with a cloth.

Tip 4.

Use your dishwasher to clean other things If you have a dishwasher, it's probably already your best friend.

But did you know that it can clean much more than just kitchen things?

You can use it to clean all kinds of things made of plastic, like toys, or even flip -flops or other plastic shoes.

And also for things made of metal, like tools or keys.

Tip 5.

Tell people to take off their shoes when they come in.

If you hate vacuuming, but you also hate the floor because you don't do the vacuuming, there's an easy solution.

Tell your housemates and guests to take off their shoes at the front door.

And if they forget or refuse, give them the vacuum cleaner.

Tip 6.

Use your socks to clean the floor.

If you have a hard floor, like wood or stone, for example, make your socks work for you.

Take your shoes off and slide across a different part of your floor each time you move across it.

It'll soon be completely clean.

Then just throw your socks in the washing machine. And finally, tip seven.

Listen to music while you clean.

Sometimes you really need to do some housework that you hate, like ironing or cleaning the bathroom.

Put on your favourite playlist and focus on the music, not the boring housework.

And one last word.

Many people say that lazy people are often the best employees because they find the most efficient way to complete a task.

That's the way you need to think when you're cleaning.

Good luck!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
