The key to dish-washing

 

We, especially most girls or women, wash dishes every day after having meals. Dish-washing is quite a simple household chore and it seems not too difficult to wash dishes. However, there are several steps you had better follow so as to let the burdensome housework done. The first step is to put all the dirty stuffs into the sink, and then categorize them into several small groups according to their usage and size. For example, it is helpful to classify stuffs which need to be cleaned into dishes, bowls, pots and tableware. Second, you should pick a sponge with adequate amount of dish soap squeezed on it, and then start rubbing stuffs with the sponge. There's no designated order, but I personally prefer to follow the order, starting with dishes, then bowls, pots and tableware. This helps you neatly organize washed things on to a dish rack. Third, if you are done with bubbling all the things, then it is time to rinse them. Leave the tap running and rinse all the things according to the order that you followed when rubbing them with a sponge. When you finish giving a certain category of stuffs rinse with clean water, you may organize them directly on to a dish rack, right next to the sink. Try not to wait until all the things are washed, but to organized one category as they are rinsed. After all things are neatly organized on to the dish rack, you should clean the sink with water and then rinse the sponge that you used too. Dry it until you use it for the next time. That's the last step of dish-washing and you are done with the most annoying household chore if these steps are followed successfully. It seems hard to do the dish-washing but you can make it even easier and finish it in a shorter time with my tip.

  1. Hi, this is Dana Eun from your class and I read your writing with much agreement as I do dish-washing almost everyday.

    Your paragraph has a topic sentence and I can identify the process you are going to describe by reading the topic sentence.

    You provided background information about dish-washing however I feel it is not enough. You only mentioned how this chore is very common and burdensome to most women. Maybe describing how you got the tips to easy dish-washing could help to improve your writing.

    The paragraph has time order words to help clarify the order of the steps and they are ‘the first step is’, ‘second’, ‘third’, ‘after’, and ‘that’s the last step.’

    You explained why this process is useful by stating how dish-washing can be annoying and burdensome but with the help of your tips it could be easy. However, you forgot to mention the tools needed for the process. The tools are dirty dishes, sink, dish rack, a sponge and dish-washing soap.

    The concluding sentence restates the main idea in the topic sentence well and also sums up the main point of your paragraph.

  2. The key to dish-washing

    We, especially most girls or women, wash dishes every day after having meals. Dish-washing is quite a simple household chore and it seems not too difficult to wash dishes. However, sometimes we have to spend too much time on washing dishes, and so are more likely to miss other important tasks such as shopping groceries, doing laundries and cleaning our desks. Considering this, I recommend you several steps for dish-washing so as to let the burdensome housework done more efficiently. You need several tools, including a sink, a dish rack, a sponge and dish-washing soap to clean all the dirty dishes. The first step is to put all the dirty stuffs into the sink, and then categorize them into several small groups according to their usage and size. For example, it is helpful to classify stuffs which need to be cleaned into dishes, bowls, pots and tableware. Second, you should pick a sponge with adequate amount of dish soap squeezed on it, and then start rubbing stuffs with the sponge. There’s no designated order, but I personally prefer to follow the order, starting with dishes, then bowls, pots and tableware. This helps you neatly organize washed things on to a dish rack. Third, if you are done with bubbling all the things, then it is time to rinse them. Leave the tap running and rinse all the things according to the order that you followed when rubbing them with a sponge. When you finish giving a certain category of stuffs rinse with clean water, you may organize them directly on to a dish rack, right next to the sink. Try not to wait until all the things are washed, but to organize every category as they are rinsed. After all things are neatly organized on to the dish rack, you should clean the sink with water and then rinse the sponge that you used too. Dry it until you use it for the next time. That’s the last step of dish-washing and you are done with the most annoying household chore if these steps are followed successfully. It is really annoying to do the dish-washing but you can make it even easier and finish it in a shorter time with my tip.
