大家好，我的名字叫尼哈里卡，歡迎大家回來上新課。

現在進行式

Today we are gonna look at some expressions related to house chores. What are house chores?

今天我們就來看看與家務事有關的一些表述。什麼是家務事？

基礎數量詞

Well chores are your house work that you do on daily basis. I’m sure many of us don’t like

嗯，家務就是你每天要做的家務。我相信我們很多人都不喜歡。

to do it. But it’s important, it’s important to keep your house nice and clean. And,hey

來做。但這很重要，重要的是要保持你的房子乾淨漂亮。而且，嘿嘿

you know what, house chores or doing the house chores keeps you fit. It is a good form of

你知道嗎，做家務或做家務能讓你保持身體健康。這是一種很好的形式

exercise. SO people if you are not doing it start doing it, it will keep you fit as well.

鍛鍊。SO大家如果你沒有做就開始做吧，這樣也能讓你保持身材。

So now let’s have look at some expressions to talk about house chores or house work.

那麼現在讓我們來看看一些談論家務或家務工作的表達方式。

The other word for house chores is house work. So, the first thing that comes to your mind

家務事的另一個詞是家務活。所以，你首先想到的是什麼？

when you wake up, well you need to tidy up your house right? It means you need to clean

當你醒來的時候，你需要整理你的房子，對嗎？就是說你要打掃

your house. Now what are the expressions that you use to these certain house works is what

你的房子。現在，你對這些特定的房屋工程使用的表達方式是什麼？

we are gonna learn in today’s lesson. Let’s imagine, before we go with that let

我們在今天的課程中要學習。讓我們想象一下，在我們去之前讓

me also mention that the two common verbs that we use when we talk about house chores

我還想說的是，我們在談論家務事時，常用的兩個動詞是

are do  and make. In a very common way when you are talking about house chores you say “ I gonna

是做和做。在一個很常見的方式，當你談論的家務事，你說" 我要去

do the dishes” “ I am gonna do the kitchen” “I am gonna do the laundry”

"我要洗碗" "我要去廚房" "我要去洗衣服"

Okay, so you end up using the verb do very commonly and in fact if you think about it

好吧，所以你最終使用的動詞做非常普遍，事實上，如果你仔細想想看

the verb to replaces the word to clean or wash. So you wash your laundry or you clean

的動詞來代替清潔或洗滌的詞。所以你洗你的衣服或你清潔

the dishes right? But rather than using these verbs when you are talking casually to someone

碗筷是吧？但是，與其在與人閒聊時使用這些動詞，不如在與人交談時使用

you end up using the verb do. So, it’s like I am doing the dishes. I am gonna do the laundry.

你最終會用動詞do。所以，這就像我在洗碗。我要去洗衣服。

I am gonna do the windows, so it means that you are gonna clean the windows.

我要去做窗戶，所以這意味著你要去清理窗戶。

And then another verb that we commonly use is make. Now make probably replaces the verb

然後我們常用的另一個動詞是make。現在make可能取代了動詞

create, to create something. SO make is like, “I am gonna make my bed” you will not

創造，創造一些東西。所以，使就像，"我要整理我的床"，你不會

say “I am gonna do the bed” You will say I am gonna make the bed or I

你會說 "我要鋪床"，你會說 "我要鋪床 "或者 "我要"。

am gonna make the breakfast. I am gonna make lunch. So here you are creating something.

我要去做早餐。我要去做午餐。所以，你在這裡創造的東西。

So that’s exactly the reason why you are using the verb make.

所以這正是你用動詞使的原因。

So please keep this in mind when you are talking casually about your household chores then

所以，請你在隨意談論你的家務事時記住這一點，那麼

you end up using the verbs do and make. And now let’s look at the expressions that

你最終會使用動詞do和make。現在讓我們看看以下表達式
