A free day

Today is my free day. I don’t go to work. I must not receive any phonecalls related my job. So I do some houseworks. I go into my storage and take the vacuum cleaner out of the shelves. I use a towel cleans outside it, I switch on the power of it and start cleaning the floor of my storage. I work very hard within an hour so the floor of my storage is very clean, tidy and fresh.
Then I walk out of my storage and go into the chicken. I wash my dishes and pots. I wash inside as well as outside it. Then I pick them up the shelves.
I go in my bedroom. I take all of dirty clothes and bring to the chicken. I put them into the washing machine. About hour later, they are washed.

Please correct my short paragraph.

Does that describe your typical day off, or are you describing one specific day?

 

[emsr2d2]

Are you quite sure you went into the chicken? :shock:

 

[chunchuntthn]

I am describing a typical day off. The day off, I have much time to do housework without thinking about my job.

This is my wrong. It means kitchen.

We don't tend to use "much" in positive statements. We use it a lot in negative statements.

This is my [STRIKE]wrong[/STRIKE] error/mistake. [STRIKE]It means[/STRIKE] I meant "kitchen".

I'm relieved to hear that!

A Free Day

Today is my free day. I don’t go to work, and I [STRIKE]must not receive[/STRIKE] don’t need to answer any phone calls related to my job. So today, I have a chance to do some housework.

How big is your storage room? You are saying that you hoovered (vacuumed) the floor of that one room for an entire hour! That seems unlikely.

 

[chunchuntthn]

Could you please explain "my wrong", "my error" and "my mistake"?

 

[emsr2d2]

Certainly.

My error :tick:
My mistake :tick:
My wrong :cross:

Although "wrong" can be used as a noun, it doesn't work in this context.

I think that the word "wipe" and " clean" are the same meaning. " Turn on/off and switch on/off are also the same meaning. So in above paragraph, could they replace each other?

I think that the word "wipe" and " clean" [STRIKE]are[/STRIKE] have the same meaning.

There's some overlap, but they're not the same.

"Turn on/off and switch on/off are also the same meaning. So in the above paragraph, could they replace each other?

The basic meaning is the same, but one is more natural than the other in certain situations. Here, I find "turn on the vacuum cleaner/hoover" more natural than "switch on the vacuum cleaner/hoover".

 

[chunchuntthn]

To wipe. This is a action use a cloth to clean or dry something.

To wipe. This is a action use a cloth to clean or dry something.

That is true, but why are you explaining that to us?
:-?

As for storage room, I would expect to see closet. (American English)
