To make matters worse

Lesson 52 A pretty carpet
First listen and then answer the question.
What is the writer's carpet made of?
We've just moved into a new house.
And i have been working hard all morning.
I have been trying to get my new room in order.
This has not been so easy, because i own over 1000 books.
To make my work worse[ To make matters worse], the room is rather small.
So i have temporarily put my books on the floor.
At the moment they cover every inch of the floor space.
And i actually have to walk on them to get in or out [of] the room.
A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of the[my old] book cases upstairs.
She went into my room. She got a big surprise when she saw all the books on the floor.
This is the prettiest carpet i have ever seen, she said.
She gave that [gazed it for] some time and then added, you don't need book cases at all.
You can [sit here in] your spare time and read the carpet.
