from Crown Academy of English and today

we are going to do a lesson on

the bedroom. So you're going to learn

lots of words of items

in the bedroom. Let's get started!

So,

here we are inside a typical

bedroom and

the first thing that we can see here is of course

the bed. So this is the bed

in the middle of the room.

And this type of bed

is called a "double bed" because

two people sleep in this bed.

Okay, so a double bed

is for two people and

a single bed is for one person.

And here...

at the end of the bed

is a pillow. So

we use a pillow... we put our head

on the pillow when we go to sleep...

And in fact, there are

two pillows. There is a pillow on the left

and a pillow on the right. And

also, in this bedroom, we can see

there is a wardrobe. We use

a wardrobe to put our clothes in.

So we store

clothes in a wardrobe okay.

Here, we can see on this picture,

this is called the headboard. A headboard.

So this is the board at the...

at the top of the bed behind

the pillows. So this is used

as decoration. It goes between the wall

and the bed.

And on the left, on

both... usually on both sides of the bed, we put

a bedside table. A bedside table.

And we use the bedside table

for... we we can often put

things on the bedside table.

For example, a book

or maybe a glass of water or an alarm clock.

And so here, we can see another view

of the bedside table. So

here in fact there is a bedside table

on both sides of the bed.

This bedside table is made out of wood and

on it, there is a lamp. So there is a lamp on

the bedside table.

And also, there is an alarm clock. An alarm clock.

So we use an alarm clock so that we can tell the time.

So that we can know what time it is...

and also so that we can wake up

in the morning. The alarm clock

rings an alarm in the morning to wake us up.

This alarm clock is a DIGITAL alarm clock.

But we can also have a different type of alarm clock... like

this one. This is an older, mechanical alarm clock.

And here, on this picture, again we can see

the pillows. So there's a pillow

on the left and a pillow

on the right. And also,

behind the pillows,

above the headboard,

there is a picture....ok.

So that is a picture...

and in fact there are several

pictures and these

are pictures of butterflies. To the right

of the bed, above

the bedside table, there is

another lamp. So this is

a lamp on the right... and here,

we can see on the bed, in black,

that is a sheet. So this

is a sheet. And we put a sheet

on the bed to protect the bed.

And so here, on this bed, we can see

that there is a duvet.

So a duvet is

in fact what is inside

the red and white cover.

So in fact here,

there is a duvet .. and

a duvet cover. So

the duvet cover is

the red and white thing

that we can see. And

the duvet is inside the duvet cover.

So here, we cannot in fact see the duvet.

It is inside the duvet

cover. Listen carefully

to how we pronounce "duvet". We do not

pronounce the letter "t" at the end. Okay, it is a silent

"t". So we say "duvet"

So here, this is another view

of the duvet. So this

is what is inside the duvet cover.

This is the duvet.

This is the white item that we put

on the bed to keep us warm at night.

There is another word for "duvet".

We can also call a duvet a "quilt"

A "quilt". Now I think the word "quilt" is used

more in... in Britain, in England.

It is more of a British

English word. And duvet

is more international... okay... but they both

mean the same thing. Duvet or quilt.

Both words are correct.

Here is a blanket.

This is a red blanket... and

we put a blanket on the bed, often

in winter, when it is cold and we put it

on top of the duvet to keep us warm.

And here.. there is .. this is another view

of the bed and here,

you can see that we have pulled

the duvet to one side.

So we have pulled the duvet

to the middle of the bed... and here we can see

the "sheet". So this is

the sheet which goes on the bed,

to protect the bed. And this is

a white sheet.

So this is a sheet: S H E E T.

And, we put the sheet on a mattress.

So this is the mattress.

So this is what the bed looks like

without the sheet. Okay...

we call this a mattress.

Here, in white, this is the pillow.

So, the pillow is where we put our head

when we go to sleep... and

we put the pillow inside a pillowcase.

So the pillowcase is the item

which goes outside of the pillow.

It protects the pillow and it decorates

the pillow. As you can see,

the pillowcase has the same

design as the duvet case.

So the duvet case and the pillowcase

are the same. So we can say

they are MATCHING. They are MATCHING.

because they are the same.

Here, we can see a single bed.

A single bed is a bed for one person. One person

sleeps in a single bed... and

again, this is the headboard.

Here, we have some bunk beds. Bunk beds.

Bunk beds are two beds with

one bed on top of another bed.

So here, this is the top bunk bed

and this one is the bottom bunk bed. And

to be able to get to the top

bunk bed, we use a ladder. So we use

a ladder to climb up to the top bunk bed.

And so here, we can see a wardrobe.

A wardrobe. We put clothes

inside a wardrobe. So we use

a wardrobe to store our clothes.

On the front of this wardrobe, there is a mirror.

We use a mirror to look at ourselves -

- to look at our clothes.

Okay so a mirror.

We use a mirror to look at ourself.

And this wardrobe

has two doors. There is a door here

and there is a door here.

And on the front of both doors, there is a handle.

So we use a handle to open the door and to close the door.

And here we are looking inside a wardrobe.

And at the top, there is a clothes rail, clothes rail.

So the clothes rail is the metal bar which goes across

the top of the wardrobe.

And on the clothes rail, we use a hanger.

So we put hangers on the clothes rail to hang our clothes on.

So we hang clothes on the hanger.

This is called a hanger

or sometimes we can call it

a clothes hanger. Ok.. and

on this hanger, there is a white

shirt and

at the bottom of the wardrobe, there are

some trousers. In English,

when we talk about trousers, even if there is just

one, we use the expression

"a pair of trousers" Okay..

so now I am wearing a pair of trousers.

So we say the word "pair"

for one pair of trousers.

And here, this is a shoe rack.

Shoe rack. We use a shoe rack

to store our shoes.

And again, this is a pair of shoes. So here

there is one pair of brown shoes,

and here, we have one pair of black shoes.

So here, this is called a chest of drawers.

So this big piece of white furniture. This item

is called a chest of drawers.

And, the chest of drawers has three drawers.

So, this drawer at the top,

then there is a drawer in the middle and a drawer at the bottom.

And we can see the top drawer is currently open.

On top of the chest of drawers, there are some

candles. So this is a candle.

And over in

the corner of the room, we can see

there is an armchair. An armchair

is a comfortable chair for one person.

Here.. this object here...

this big, white object...

we call this a dressing table. A dressing table. So very often...

a dressing table is used by a lady or a girl who

is putting on makeup, for example, or maybe drying her hair.

So always on a dressing table, there is a table and

also a mirror. There is usually a large mirror

on a dressing table. And here, in front of the dressing table, is a chair.

And hanging on the wall, we have a clothes hanger.

This is a hanger.

And finally, we have a lamp. In fact, there are

two lamps - one on both sides of the dressing table.

So, on this photograph, in front of the window,

there are some curtains.

So we use curtains to decorate

the front of the window and also

to stop light coming into the room.

Again, we use the expression a "pair

of curtains". A "pair of curtains"

because there are two curtains.

One on the left and

one on the right. And

we attach curtains to a curtain rail.

So the curtain rail is

the bar which goes across the top,

above the window. And here,

on the right hand side, to the right of

the curtains, we can see there are

some hats. And the top hat,

this one, is a grey hat.

Here, this is a cot. A cot

And a cot is for babies

or very very young children. So babies

sleep in a cot. And a cot has vertical

bars down the side and

very high sides to prevent the baby from

leaving the cot.

So a cot is to help keep a baby safe.

And here is a teddy bear!

A teddy bear! So a teddy bear

is for a baby or for a child...

or even for an adult! You never know :-)

So a teddy bear is a toy.

And finally, something else that we often use

when we are in the bedroom is

a "pair of slippers". A "pair of slippers"

So slippers are comfortable shoes

which we wear indoors. So they are comfortable

shoes which we wear inside the house.
