Hello, everyone.
I am Chris
and this is a lesson for the
Learn British English Free Youtube channel.
I've done a couple of previous lessons,
one was called "Around the House"
and one very recent one was
"In my Kitchen"
where I was showing you some vocabulary
in the house in various rooms.
I've had quite a few requests -
believe it or not -
about toilet and bathroom vocabulary and items
in those areas so that's what
I'm going to do today.
Please come with me
and give me a second whilst I adjust the camera
so that I can show you around.
We're going into the toilet (or loo) first
and then the bathroom.
I've got to change the camera.
OK?
Hopefully this will be clear enough.
Let's give it a try.
So I have a room here where it's just the toilet
so we would call this the toilet
(not the bathroom)
Toilet or loo of course
Loo
So there it is - that's the toilet of course.
There's the toilet handle, there.
On the top, I've left out a very popular cleaning product
called Bleach
Bleach
Lots of people use that in the UK.
Down there is the toilet brush for cleaning
And here we have toilet roll of course,
Toilet roll
Loo roll
Bog roll even -
Rather uncouth slang term - you might hear that.
So that's the toilet or loo.
And this is the bathroom -
the room where the bath is.
So we wouldn't call the toilet the bathroom -
we would call this room the bathroom.
They're quite separate in fact.
Here is the bath.
Up there we have the shower,
the bit where the water comes out is the
shower head.
And here there's actually a shower screen there,
you might see it quite faintly,
moving back and forth.
That's what keeps the water from getting out of the shower
when it's on.
Down here we have
a hair brush
hair brush
On the floor I've actually left a couple of things -
we have two towels
so the big one is the bath towel
bath towel
and the smaller one - to the right -
is the hand towel or face towel
and behind them, the whitish thing,
that's a bath mat for the floor
to stop the floor getting wet.
And now, quite a few items over here.
We have the basin, the basin,
that's what it's called in the bathroom,
for washing and things.
Let's have a look at these.
Got dental floss there
for cleaning your teeth with
dental floss.
There's a toothbrush.
Toothbrush.
There's lip balm for your lips
Lip balm
There we have a hot tap
and cold tap.
Red and blue.
In the UK we normally have them separate:
hot tap and cold tap you might have heard.
In the middle:
the tube of toothpaste
Behind that - the metal thing is the razor -
that we use for shaving.
Razor.
There we have bar of soap.
Soap
Bar of soap
Mouth wash
That thing there's a plug
to stop the water draining away.
And a few more bits:
Deodorant
That's a mirror of course
(you can see the reflection of the laptop in there)
Shaving foam or shaving gel
that people use for shaving
(that blue bottle there).
And there is shampoo
Shampoo
And the last thing is
Hand wash
Well that concludes our little tour of
first, the toilet, or loo
and secondly, the bathroom.
Quite a few items as well that we've looked at.
