Tips

Before we get into some specific examples of housework a couple of tips to keep in mind.

And this is something that I always have to remind myself as well when I’m describing a process maybe I’m giving instructions to someone for how to do something.

Maybe over the phone or I’m explaining the kind of things I regularly have to do kind of like a routine.

I always remember to tell a story so that doesn’t mean I need to add a bunch of fake stuff but what it means is I want to connect it together and make it personal

If I just say and then do this and then do this and then do this and then do this it’s very dry.

I do try to think about using different types of sentences to keep the syntax interesting.

I also think about making sure to sometimes maybe add a little bit of emotion.

Sometimes I will add a description of something maybe I’m doing in a little bit more detail but I try to make it feel as much like I can like a simple story.

And when I think about it in this way it helps me I think explain what I want to explain clearly so that the other person the person listening to me gets it immediately and doesn’t miss out on the details.

If it’s kind of interesting.

If it’s kind of interesting then people will probably like to listen to what you have to say.

So make it personal make it a story number to use the present tense just like when we’re giving a routine we’re talking about activities that usually happen.

So use the present tense because that makes it a lot easier.

You can focus on your sentence structure you can focus on using the right words you can focus on maybe making it a little bit interesting what you’re describing what you have to do regularly because you’re not thinking about do I need to make that in the past I don’t know that makes it a lot easier.

So just use the present tense.

Just use the present tense.

OK those are two things I want you to remember.

Now let’s look at an example of chores specifically laundry.
