Hello, I’m Jade.

Today I’m resting at home.

So I’m going to do some housework.

So I’ll use the lint roller to clean the pillows.

Cleaning the pillows with a lint roller.

I roll the lint roller over the pillow.

To clean the pillow.

Let the lint roller pick up the dirt on the pillow surface.

That way the pillow will be clean.

The lint roller has picked up a lot of dirt.

A lot of dirt has stuck to the lint roller paper.

There’s hair, and some dust too.

So I’m going to tear off this layer of paper.

Tear off the dirty layer of paper.

This action is called tearing.

I tear off the paper.

Now the lint roller is clean again.

Then I can keep cleaning the other pillow.

This is the second pillow.

I put the clean pillow back in its place.

Then the pillow is clean.

There are also bedsheets on the bed.

The cloth spread on the bed.

This is called a bedsheet.

to clean the bedsheet.

I’m still using the lint roller.

This is a layer of paper.

Tear it off.

Now I have a clean layer of paper again.

This layer is clean.

I’ll clean it once more.

Roll it again.

To clean the bedsheet.

This time the lint roller

isn’t as dirty anymore.

So the bedsheet is clean.

I’ll tear off this layer of paper again.

Tear it off.

This can be thrown away, it’s no longer needed.
