【学英语】Doing Laundry / 洗衣服

English:
Doing laundry is an important part of daily life. First, I sort the clothes by color: whites, darks, and bright colors. Then, I check the labels to see the washing instructions. I put the clothes into the washing machine and add the right amount of detergent. After the cycle is finished, I hang the clothes outside to dry or put them in the dryer. Finally, I fold the clothes and put them away. Clean clothes make me feel fresh and organized.

中文:
洗衣服是日常生活中很重要的一部分。首先，我会按颜色分类衣服：白色、深色和鲜艳颜色。然后，我查看洗标，了解洗涤说明。我把衣服放进洗衣机，并加入适量的洗衣液。洗完后，我把衣服挂在外面晾干，或者放进烘干机。最后，我叠好衣服并收好。干净的衣服让我感觉清爽又整齐。

“put them away” 是一个非常常见的英语短语，意思是 把东西收好、放回原位。

在洗衣服的语境里：

fold the clothes and put them away → 先把衣服叠好，然后 把它们放进衣柜或抽屉里收好。
