LESSON 42
bath, bathe, sunbathe

Hugh: Here I am in the bathroom, having a bath. Mmm…The bathroom is nice – it’s so big and light, bathed in sunlight! Mmm, and the bath is nice. A nice big bath. I like big baths, they’re so comfortable. Mmm… What’s this? Oh, bath oils. They smell nice. And this? – ‘Foam bath’! Yes! I love bubbly baths. Let’s put some in. Mmm… Lovely soapy bath… I quite like to bath, really. Having a bath is nicer than bathing in the sea – especially on a cold day. Uh, in England, the water is so cold! Swimming in the sea is fun, though. Very refreshing, especially after you’ve been sunbathing for hours, bathed in sweat. That’s not nice at all. OK. Now, let’s give the teddy a little bath, too. No? Why not? You want to go the swimming baths? No way, I like it here. Besides you haven’t got your swimming trunks…
