Fifteenth lesson

THE HAIRDRESSER'S AND THE CLEANER'S

Part 1

The hairdresser's and the cleaner's

This morning Mrs. Hunt's going to the hairdresser's to have her hair done.

Jane and I are going to the launderette to wash some clothes.

Then we're going to the cleaner's to have some other clothes cleaned.

I want to have my pink suit cleaned.

I might need it tomorrow.

Mrs. Hunt's got to have her yellow dress cleaned because it's very dirty.

She wants to wear it tonight.

It's possible to have clothes cleaned and pressed very quickly here.

The hairdresser's that Mrs. Hunt goes to is in Rose Avenue.

The launderette that we're going to is near there, too.

We've got to be there by ten past ten because Mrs. Hunt's appointment is at ten fifteen.

Last week she was late because her taxi was in a traffic jam.

Today we might go by Underground.

Part 2

The Underground

We can walk to the hairdresser's, can't we?

Yes, but we might be late, Sheila.

I think we ought to take a taxi.

We haven't got to take a taxi.

Yes, we have.

I've got to be there by ten fifteen.

We can go by tube, can't we?

Yes, we can but there isn't a tube station near the hairdresser's.

Yes, there is.

Good.

We might get there more quickly by tube than by taxi.

And the tube isn't as expensive as a taxi.

How much is the fare?

It's the same as the bus fare, isn't it?

About ten pence.

No, I think it's more than the bus fare.

You might be right.

Or I might be wrong.

Hurry

You were right, Sheila.

The tube was faster than a taxi.

Yes, I think the Underground's the fastest way to travel in London.

I'm on time now.

I haven't got to hurry.

I ought to have my hair done too, oughtn't I?

It looks awful.

That's a good idea.

Would you make an appointment for me, Mrs. Hunt?

When for?

For tomorrow morning.

For the same time as my appointment today?

No, a different time.

I'd like an early appointment, at about nine thirty.

Jane, are you going to have your hair done, too?

Well, I ought to have it cut, oughtn't I?

Yes, you ought to.

It's too long.

I'm going to make an appointment for you, too.

All right.

Mum, it's ten past ten.

You've got to hurry.

Yes.

Have you got enough change for the launderette?

Remember.

You've got to have the right coins for these machines.

No, I haven't got much change but I can get some more.

Good.

And remember…

You mustn't put the coloured clothes in the same machine as the white ones.

Don't worry!

The cleaner's and the launderette

We ought to go to the cleaner's first.

No, we ought to go to the launderette first, oughtn't we?

It's nearer.

We don't want to waste time.

Yes, you're right but it's usually very crowded, isn't it?

Yes but there might be two empty machines.

Here's the launderette.

The machines that are next to the dryer are empty, aren't they?

No, those are full.

These two are empty.

Now remember.

You mustn't use too much soap and you mustn't put bleach in with the coloured clothes.

Yes, I know.

You sound the same as Mum.

Sorry.

I think I ought to go to the cleaner's now.

We haven't got much time.

Yes, you're right.

We oughtn't to waste time.

Is it possible to have this dress cleaned by this afternoon?

Yes, madam.

Is it possible to have my suit done, too?

There are a few spots on the jacket.

No, we can't do the suit by this afternoon.

Can you collect it tomorrow morning?

Yes, I can.

Mum's hair

I love your hair, Mum.

It's the same as Sheila's style, isn't it?

No, it's different from Sheila's hairstyle.

Her hair's shorter.

And it's different from the style that I usually wear.

It was nicer last week, wasn't it?

No, I think it's nicer this week.

I'm glad you like it.

Now, where are the clothes?

They're still at the launderette.

Did you have enough money?

Yes.

We had enough money, but they hadn't got a change machine.

Oh dear.

It's all right.

The clothes might be ready by now.

Part 3

The dirty car

John's going to have his car washed.

He had it washed yesterday, didn't he?

Yes. He thinks it's dirty again.

He's very fussy.

John's car's the same as Bill's, isn't it.

No, Bill's car's different from John's.

Bill's car's dirty.

Jane's late

I ought to be at Tom's by half past eleven.

You mustn't be late.

Tom's always on time.

I look awful.

I haven't done my hair.

You had your hair done yesterday.

You look fine.

Is it possible to go by bus?

No, it's twenty-five past eleven.

Go by taxi.
