英语访谈对话 486 Clean Freak(在线收听

   Todd: So, Akane, what did you do today?

  Akane: Ah, today I cleaned my apartment.
  Todd: Sounds fun!
  Akane: It was actually. I really like cleaning cause I only get one day a week to do it, and my apartment gets clean.
  Todd: So when you clean your apartment how long does it take you to clean everything?
  Akane: Well, let's see, I started around 7:30 in the morning and then I probably finished around 10:30.
  Todd: 3 hours!
  Akane: Yeah!
  Todd: That's a long time.
  Akane: Well, I do a lot of cleaning.
  Todd: Man!
  Akane: And that includes laundry, actually.
  Todd: So for your laundry, do you use the laundry mat down the street?
  Akane: No, I use my own laundry machine, and I hang it up to dry.
  Todd: Wow! But when you do that you can't get that nice soft feel from the clothes.
  Akane: Well, no but I save money!
  Todd: That's true! I feel bad about using the laundry mat cause I guess it wastes energy, but I just love
  how the dryers make your clothes really soft and warm and there's no wrinkles and it's done.
  Akane: I agree. Mm, for sure. I wish I had a dryer
  Todd: So do you iron your clothes for work?
  Akane: I do, yeah, I always iron my clothes. I do my washing on Saturdays and I do my ironing on Sundays.
  Todd: Oh, man, you're regimented.
  Akane: Yeah, I am.
  Todd: You got it down. You know I never iron my shirts.
  Akane: You never iron!
  Todd: No, I just take them out of the dryer, and that's close enough, and then usually when I put them on, they kind of stretch.
  Akane: Well, I guess so and if you're wearing a jacket over it, then you can't really see.
  Todd: Yeah, plus I'm a teacher and teachers don't have to look sharp.
  Akane: I guess so. Yeah!
  Todd: Hey, so, what are your plans for tomorrow?
  Akane: Tomorrow? Well, my ironing of course, and I'm a teacher and I have markings so, I'll do some markings, cause I have to mark some essays.
  Todd: Oh, that sounds awful!
  Akane: Yeah, but it has to be done.
  Todd: Yeah, but on the weekend! I try not to bring work home. I just don't like to do it. On the weekend, I feel you should energize yourself and just rest and relax.
  Akane: I agree, but this week I couldn't help it cause we were so busy.
  Todd: So, why were you busy this week?
  Akane: Well, we had so much work to do, and I gave them out an essay, and I got those essays back,
  so I have to mark those.
  Todd: Hey, have you been giving your students tests?
  Akane: Uh, just little quizzes once in awhile.
  Todd: Yeah, I have to give my students a test but I don't know what to test them on.
  Akane: Yeah, that is always a hard part.
  Todd: Do you give easy tests or hard tests?
  Akane: Well, the quizzes are quite easy, but I think they find it to be quite hard.
  Todd: Yeah, students always say, "It's difficult!"
  Akane: Yeah!
  Todd: "It's difficult!" Well, enjoy your marking tomorrow!
  Akane: Thanks.
