Have you ever...?

I found a very good video about Present Perfect. You can also practice the grammar on one of my posts called What have you done recently?. That's it.

IS YOUR HOUSE A MESS?

The first time I read about this subject I thought of my brother’s bedroom. It was always a mess. I consider myself disorganized.

What about you? Just look around. What do you see? clothes on the floor? shoes in the kitchen? towels on your bed? relax….YOU’RE NOT ALONE!!!!!!!

Compulsive hoarding – people that have a large number of useless possessions but can’t discard them. It causes significant clutter to basic living activities such as mobility, cooking, cleaning, showering and sleeping.

WATCH A VIDEO THAT SHOWS A HOUSE OF A HOARDER. Click here and have a look.

In this VIDEO you can see a group of professionals trying to help the hoarder family.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE LITTLE BOY THAT BEHAVE THE SAME WAY AS HIS PARENTS. (VEJA O GAROTINHO QUE SE COMPORTA DO MESMO JEITO, QUERENDO GUARDAR O BRINQUEDO VELHO PARA OS FILHOS QUANDO ELE TIVER UM)

Characteristics:

· the acquisition of many things and failure to discard a large number of possessions that appear to be useless or of limited value

· living spaces sufficiently cluttered(very disorganized) so as to avoid activities for which those spaces were designed

· significant distress or impairment (deterioração) in functioning caused by the hoarding

· reluctance or inability to return borrowed items; as boundaries blur, impulsive acquisitiveness could sometimes lead to kleptomania or stealing

If you have your fridge filled with expired food, and you are reluctant to throw it away, maybe you’re a compulsive hoarding in some degree.
