Lesson 14
GOING TO THE LAUNDROMAT
I. NOTE
If you are not fortunate enough to have your own washer and dryer, you will
have to do as many Americans do – either take your clothes to a Laundromat where
you will wash them yourself or take them to a commercial laundry where they will be
done for you at a relatively high cost.
Most apartment complexes, and even many hotels, have laundry facilities with
coin-operated washers and dryers. If you have clothes that need to be dry cleaned,
you will have to go to a dry cleaner's. You will probably have to wait several days
to have your clothes cleaned, although some cleaners provide one or same day ser-
vice.
II. DIALOGUE
(Some of your neighbors are also washing their clothes. You turn to one of them).
You: How does this washing machine work?
First Neighbor: You have to put four quarters in the slot then add the detergent.
You: I don't have any change. Where can I get some?
First Neighbor: There is a changer over there. It takes dollar bills.
Second Neighbor: Do you have any detergent?
You: Gosh, I forgot to buy some at the supermarket. Can I borrow a cup?
Second Neighbor: Sure. Take as much as you want.
(You wash your clothes).
First Neighbor: I've finished using the dryer, and there's still some time left if you
want to dry your clothes.
You: That's very kind. Thanks a lot.
First Neighbor: Don't mention it. Here's my business card if you need anything for
yourself or your apartment. I manage a department store in the mall. We're having a
big sale this week. Why don't you stop by sometime?
You: I'll try to.
III. GRAMMAR EXERCISES
1. You are writing a letter to a friend and giving news
about people you both know. Use the words given to make
sentences and put the verb into the correct form.
