A: can you give me a hand with some things in the kitchen? I don't think I can finish everything in time. B: ok, what do you want me to do? A: first of all, I need you to do the drying up. I'm almost finished the washing up. I'm going to clean the cooker when I finish. B: ok. I'll put the plates and cutlery away as I dry them. Where is the tea towel? Oh, here it is. A; we'll have this finished in no time with two if us working on it. B: while you're cleaning the cooker, I'll wipe the worktop. That was a great meal, by the way. A: actually, it was just some leftovers from yesterday. I made far too much food to eat alone. I am glad you could come over to help me finish it. B: my pleasure! This tea towel's a little ragged. Do you have another one? A: yes. Look in that drawer. I should throw the old one out. B: keep it and use it as rag. You can clean your bicycle with it.
