Now, Lee and his friend Tom are going into the classroom. The teacher is coming into the classroom, too. “Hello, Lee,” says the teacher. “How are you?” “I am very well, thank you, “says Lee. “How are you?” “I am very well too,” says the teacher.

現在李和他的朋友湯姆要進教室，老師也要進教室。“你好啊，李，” 老師說，“你好嗎？” “我非常好，謝謝。” 李說，“您好嗎？” “我也很好。” 老師說。

“Please sit down children,” says the teacher. “Please sit down and put your books on the table. Put your pens and pencils on the table, too. Now, please go to a new page in your writing book. I want you to write something for me.”

“孩子們，請坐下。” 老師說。“請坐下來，把書放在桌子上。把鋼筆和鉛筆也放在桌子上。現在把習字本翻到新的一頁。我想讓你們給我寫點東西。”

The children all sit down and look at the teacher. “Please write down these new English words,” says the teacher. “When you write down these new English words, please try to be careful. I want to look at your books and see that your writing is good.”

孩子們全都坐下來看著老師。“請把這幾個英語新單詞寫下來，” 老師說，“在你們寫這幾個英語生詞的時候，請儘量仔細。我希望在看你們的習字本的時候，能看到你們的單詞都寫得好。”

Teacher

Lee, would you give me your writing book please?

Lee

Yes. Here you are. Here is my writing book.

Teacher

Where is your new writing? Is it on this page here?

Lee

No, it isn’t. It’s on that page there.

Teacher

I see. Yes, here it is.

Lee

Is it all right? Is my English writing good?

Teacher

No. Some of your writing is not very good, Lee. Look here.

Lee

Where?

Teacher

Here. Look at these words. These words are not right, are they? When you write down new words, I want you to be careful, Lee. Can you try to be careful when you write?

老師

李，能不能請你把習字本給我？

李

好的，給您。這是我的習字本。

老師

你新寫的單詞在哪裡？是在這一頁上嗎？

李

不是，在那一頁上。

老師

我知道了。好的，在這兒呢。

李

還好嗎？我的英語書寫好嗎？

老師

不，有一些寫得不太好。李，看這裡。

李

哪兒？

老師

這裡，看這些詞。這些詞寫得不對，是不是？在你寫新單詞的時候，我希望你仔細一些，李。你能不能試著在寫字的時候仔細一點呢？

“Children, please look at me,” says the teacher. “I want your English to be good. I want your English to be very good. Please do something for me. Look at the new words I am writing. Please write all the new words in your writing books. Please write them now, and please try to be careful.”

“孩子們，請看著我，” 老師說，“我希望你們的英語都好，我希望你們的英語都很好。請幫我做件事。看我正在寫的這些生詞，請把這些新單詞都寫在你們的習字本里。現在就開始寫，請儘量仔細寫。”

“Those are a lot of new words you are writing,” says Lee. “Yes,” says the teacher. “There are a lot of new words, but please try to write them all down. Please try to write down all the new words and please try to be careful. I want you to write very well. Can you do that? Please try.”

“您寫的新單詞可不少，” 李說。“對，” 老師說，“這兒有很多新單詞，請儘量把它們都寫下來。請把這些新單詞都寫下來，請儘量仔細寫。我希望你們都寫得很好。能做到嗎？請試試看吧。”

“I can try,” says Lee. “I can try to write down all the new words. I know you want our English writing to be good, and I will try to be careful with my English writing.”

“我可以試試，” 李說，“我可以試著寫下那些新單詞。我明白您希望我們寫好英語，我會盡量認真地寫英語。”

Now, all the children are writing the new words in their books. Some of the children are writing with pencils, and some of them are writing with pens. The teaching is looking at the children write. She wants to see the children be careful when they write. She wants the children’s English writing to be very good.

現在所有孩子們都在他們的本子上寫新單詞。有些孩子在用鉛筆寫，有些孩子在用鋼筆寫。老師看著所有孩子們寫字，她想看到所有孩子們在寫字的時候都仔細地寫。她希望所有孩子的英語都寫得很好。
