Henry: Can you iron my shirt, Mum?
Mother: Your shirt? You never wear anything but T-shirts and jumpers, as far as I know.
Henry: That's right. But we were told that we have to wear something very formal today, like a suit or dark trousers and a plain shirt. Some important guests from the local Council are coming.
Mother: I see. So, what's the problem? Don't you know where the iron is?
Henry: Look, Mum, you know I won't be able to cope with that. And I really am in a hurry.
Mother: So am I. I've got a meeting and I can't put it off. Don't waste any more time, Henry.
Henry: You mean that I have to do the ironing myself, don't you?
Mother: Exactly. Get the ironing board and put your shirt on it.
Henry: OK, done. What's next?
Mother: Pour some water into the opening on top of the iron.
Henry: Oops. I've poured too much. It spilled over onto my shirt!
Mother: Never mind. The water's clean: it won't spoil your shirt. Now plug the iron into the wall socket.
Henry: Hey, it's getting really hot! Won't it burn my shirt?
Mother: Not if you adjust the temperature dial to the type of fabric your shirt is made of.
Henry: How am I supposed to know that?!
Mother: It's the steam. The iron is ready to use. Go ahead.
Henry: Right. It's cotton. What's that sound?
Mother: It's written on the label.

Henry asked his mother if she could iron his shirt. His mother was surprised and said that, as far as she knew, he never wore anything but T-shirts and jumpers.

Henry agreed but explained that they had been told to wear something very formal that day, such as a suit or dark trousers and a plain shirt, because some important guests from the local Council were coming. His mother said that she understood and asked what the problem was and whether he knew where the iron was.

Henry said that she knew he would not be able to cope with it and that he was in a hurry. His mother replied that she was in a hurry too: she had a meeting which she could not put off. She told him not to waste any more time.

Henry asked if she meant that he had to do the ironing himself. His mother confirmed this and told him to get the ironing board and put his shirt on it. Henry said that he had done it and asked what was next.

His mother told him to pour some water into the opening on top of the iron. Henry exclaimed that he had poured too much and that it had spilled over onto his shirt. His mother said that it did not matter because the water was clean and would not spoil his shirt. Then she told him to plug the iron into the wall socket.

Henry said that the iron was getting really hot and asked whether it would burn his shirt. His mother answered that it would not if he adjusted the temperature dial to the type of fabric his shirt was made of. Henry asked how he was supposed to know that. His mother explained that it was written on the label and said that the steam meant that the iron was ready to use. Henry said that his shirt was made of cotton and asked what the sound was.
