Washing Machine

I have been lazy for washing clothes by hands. However, I have to wear them everyday. Sometimes, if I don’t have time, I will use washing machine. This machine in my suite is not very clear because a lot of people use it together. Some of my clothes are dirty after washing by this machine. It is much clear to wash by hand that the elders said before. In fact, it is convenience that the washing machine was invented. It helps a lot of busy or lazy people like me for wasting time washing clothes by hands.

Your first sentence should be "I have been lazy about washing my clothes by hand." This is the 21st century; only obaa-sans wash clothes by hand. Except, of course, delicate clothes that will quickly be destroyed if they are washed in a washing machine. Besides, you're a student and don't have time to wash all your clothes by hand.

Your second sentence makes it sound as if you have only one outfit that you wear to school every day [It's two words, not one, when you are talking about how often you do something].

"This machine in my suite is not very clear because a lot of people use it together." This doesn't say what you mean. It has too many mistakes. It should be thus: "The machine in my suite is not very clean because a lot of people use it."

"after I wash them in this machine" is correct.

"It is much clear to wash by hand that the elders said before." This sentence is just nonsense. It has no coherent meaning What you want to say is this: "My clothes are much cleaner when I wash them by handas my mother, grandmother, and other female ancestors did."

"In fact, it is convenience that the washing machine was invented." Again you don't say what you mean. ==> "The washing machine is a convenience."

Yet again: "It helps a lot of busy or lazy people like me for wasting time washing clothes by hands." should be "It saves a lot of busy or lazy people like me from wasting time washing clothes by hand."

Yes, that's the point. If we had to do everything the way people used to do them before the Industrial Revolution and what is called "high technology", we'd have little or no time or energy to enjoy ourselves as much as we do today. On the other hand, because so many STUT students complain that they're bored all the time, perhaps it would be better if they had to spend six or eight hours a day hand-washing their clothes, walking everywhere instead of riding a bicycle or motor scooter, and learning how to entertain themselves by singing songs, playing musical instruments, reading, drawing, or making their clothing by hand. That would certainly make everyone appreciate their free time much more.

That's why everyone says it's always nice to stay at home, we don't need to worry about wearing dirty clothes even we don't wash them because there is always going to be someone -often our mothers- to take care of them.

I didn't take too much time washing clothes. Are they not clean at all?

Washing clothes by our hands is really takes a lot of our time. Sometimes if I felt tired I will use washing machine to help me. But as you say our clothes are nor really clean enough.

It's true that washing clothes by hands is clear than a washing machine. But, the problem is that it may take some time to do it.
