Oh, hey, guys.

I'm Alex.

Thanks for clicking.

And welcome to this lesson on house cleaning vocabulary.
5
So most of us, we have to deal with house cleaning.
6
Cleaning our homes is one of the most basic things that we do on our weekends or during the week.
7
So let's look at some common verbs as well as some common nouns that you can use to talk about house cleaning.
8
Number one, obviously, the most basic verb is clean.
9
So you can use the verb clean to talk about anything.
10
You can clean the floor,
11
clean the window, clean a wall,
12
clean a table, clean a chair.
13
That's all you need to know about the verb clean.
14
Next, we have the verb sweep.
15
So sweep the floor with a broom.
16
Does anyone know what a broom is?
17
That's right.
18
This is a broom.
19
Okay?
20
And sweeping is the action of doing this.
21
So you sweep the floor with a broom.
22
Okay?
23
Now, once you sweep the floor,
24
you might want to, you know,
25
clean it a little more,
26
maybe with some water and some soap.
27
And if you want to clean the floor with some water and some soap,
28
what you are doing is you're probably mopping the floor with a mop.
29
Now, I don't have a mop with me today,
30
but it's best to think of a mop as like a broom with a wet part at the end.
31
So mopping, you're going...
32
mopping the floor with a mop.
33
The verb and the noun are the exact same thing.
34
Next up, we have vacuum.
35
Now, what is a vacuum?
36
Let me show you.
37
There we have a vacuum.
38
And it's similar to mop where the verb and the noun are the exact same thing.
39
So you can vacuum with a vacuum just like you can mop with a mop.
40
All right?
41
Next, we have the verb wipe,
42
and wipe can be used in many contexts as well.
43
So if I have, let's say,
44
let's imagine this is a piece of cloth.
45
I can wipe off the table with a cloth, for example.
46
Or I can wipe off the board if it's dirty.
47
So to wipe is this action.
48
Okay?
49
So, and again, you can use the preposition off as a phrasal verb.
50
So you can wipe off a table or wipe off a board, for example.
51
Next, we have the verb scrub.
52
Now, scrub is very often used when you're cleaning,
53
you know, your bathroom or the bathtub or the walls in your bathroom.
54
And if you have tiles,
55
which are, again, the square pieces like in a bathroom,
56
you can scrub them.
57
Okay?
58
And normally, what you need is a brush to scrub,
59
not a toothbrush, but you know,
60
a cleaning brush, or what you can call a scrubbing pad.
61
So to really get that hard clean,
62
to scrub stuff around your toilet or around your bathtub or around the walls in your bathroom.
63
Okay?
64
And finally, you can use the word dust or dust off the table with a duster.
65
Now, dust is something which accumulates over time on tables on pretty much anything.
66
Imagine it as being the little particles that build up over time if you don't touch something.
67
So if you can do this to a book or to a table,
68
you will see dust flying off of it,
69
and you need a duster to dust off the dust.
70
Okay?
71
So to review, the most common verb you can use in house cleaning is clean.
72
You can sweep the floor with a broom.
73
You can mop the floor with a mop.
74
You can vacuum the floor or the carpet with a vacuum.
75
You can wipe a table with a cloth.
76
And you can scrub tiles with a brush or a scrub pad.
77
And you can also dust a table with a duster.
78

¿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.
