2️⃣0️⃣A shampoo shower injury🚿🧴 Ben leaned over the edge of the tub. He turned on the hot and cold water faucets. The water came out of the spout near the top of the tub. He pushed down on the leverbeneath the spout so that the water would drain. He was going to take a shower, not a bath. He tested the temperature. It wasn't hot enough. He adjusted the hot water faucet. There was another handle between the hot and cold faucets. This one controlled whether water came out of the spout or out of the shower head. Ben turned it all the way to the right. Now hot water was coming out of the shower head. The temperature was just right. Ben took off his robe and stepped over the top of the tub. He pulled the shower door closed. He grabbed the bar of soap out of the soap dish and started scrubbing his face. While his eyes were closed to keep out the soap, he put the soap back into the dish. Then he reached for the big plastic container of shampoo on his window ledge. The bottle slipped out of his hands and landed on his left foot. "Shoot!" Ben said angrily. That hurt. 📚#Vocabulary: ✨adjust ~~~ يعدّل ✨bar ~~~ قالب ✨beneath ~~~ تحت ✨control ~~~ يسيطر ✨dish ~~~ وعاء ✨drain ~~~ ينصرف في المجاري ✨edge ~~~ طرف ✨faucet ~~~حنفية/صنبور ✨grab ~~~ يمسك ✨handle ~~~ مقبض ✨injury ~~~ إصابة ✨lean ~~~ ينحني ✨ledge ~~~ حافة ✨lever ~~~ مقبض ✨robe ~~~ ثوب الاستحمام ✨scrub ~~~ يفرك ✨slip ~~~ ينزلق ✨spout ~~~ فوهة ✨temperature ~~~ درجة حرارة ✨tub ~~~ حوض استحمام 📚#Grammar: ✒️#Past_simple_tense ✒️#Past_progressive_tense 🎧📖#Short_stories📖🎧 @ReadAloudESL
