Q: How often do you clean your room?

A: Well, I usually clean my room once a week. I try and keep it clean throughout the week, so, that I don't have to spend a lot of time cleaning it. So I spend, maybe, 45 minutes cleaning it once a week. And then I also do my laundry every week, and that takes about 2 and a half hours.

Q: Do you have a vacuum cleaner?

A: I don't have a vacuum cleaner, but each dorm (общежитие) has a vacuum cleaner in it, and if you want to use it, you can go downstairs and get it.
