Laundromat 自动洗衣店 : Washing and Drying Your Clothes Because my apartment doesn't have a washer and 1____, I go once a week to a laundromat down the street. 2_____the week, I 3_____ my dirty clothes in a clothes hamper 有盖提篮 in my room, and then haul that down to the laundromat. Because the place has 4______ machines, I have to make sure I have plenty of change. I separate the 5 _______ from the darks and wash them in separate machines---unless I want pink dress shirts. This happened when I a 6_____ washed my dress shirts with my sister's pink shirts. Not a good idea at all. I 7_______ the right amount of laundry detergent 去污剂 and bleach 漂白剂 as needed, with a little fabric softener. After the wash is finished, I put the clothes in a dryer. While the washer and dryer are going, I usually read a book or magazine to pass the time. When the clothes are done drying, I 8______ them---usually---and then take the finished laundry home. Finally, I put my clothes away in my dresser or 9______ . Washing and drying clothes isn't the most exciting 10_____, but it has to be done.
