门mén　关guān　了le，　我wǒ　在zài　外面wàimiàn　看不到kànbùdào　你nǐ。mén guān le, wǒ zài wàimiàn kànbùdào nǐ.

The door is closed; I can’t see you from outside.

我wǒ　想xiǎng　去qù　超市chāoshì，　可是kěshì　没méi　时间shíjiān。wǒ xiǎng qù chāoshì, kěshì méi shíjiān.

I want to go to the supermarket, but I don’t have time.

今天Jīntiān　我wǒ　得děi　先xiān　去qù　银行yínháng。Jīntiān wǒ děi xiān qù yínháng.

The bank is near my company.

我Wǒ　从cóng　家jiā　到dào　银行yínháng　要yào　十shí　分钟fēnzhōng。Wǒ cóng jiā dào yínháng yào shí fēnzhōng.

It takes ten minutes for me to get from home to the bank.

Coffee near the park is expensive; I spent a lot of money.

I don’t know how to use this phone; could you teach me?

她tā　教jiāo　我wǒ　说shuō　中文zhōngwén，　我wǒ　教jiāo　她tā　写xiě　英文yīngwén。tā jiāo wǒ shuō zhōngwén, wǒ jiāo tā xiě yīngwén.

She teaches me to speak Chinese; I teach her to write English.

他tā　送sòng　我wǒ　到dào　公司gōngsī，　我wǒ　让ràng　他tā　放心fàngxīn。tā sòng wǒ dào gōngsī, wǒ ràng tā fàngxīn.

I thought this place was far, but actually it’s only a ten-minute walk.

她tā　不bù　知道zhīdào　怎么办zěnmebàn，　我wǒ　就jiù　跟gēn　她tā　去qù　公园gōngyuán　聊天liáotiān。tā bù zhīdào zěnmebàn, wǒ jiù gēn tā qù gōngyuán liáotiān.

She doesn’t know what to do, so I went to the park with her to chat.

我wǒ　可以kěyǐ　把bǎ　这zhè　个gè　翻译fānyì　成chéng　英文yīngwén，　你nǐ　帮忙bāngmáng　吗ma？wǒ kěyǐ bǎ zhè gè fānyì chéng yīngwén, nǐ bāngmáng ma?

She asked me to meet at the library tomorrow; as long as it isn’t cold, I’ll bike there.

我wǒ　想xiǎng　学xué　中文zhōngwén。wǒ xiǎng xué zhōngwén.

I want to learn Chinese.

明天míngtiān　我wǒ　送sòng　你nǐ　到dào　图书馆túshūguǎn。míngtiān wǒ sòng nǐ dào túshūguǎn.

Tomorrow I’ll walk you to the library.

他tā　把bǎ　我wǒ　的de　电脑diànnǎo　借走jièzǒu　了le。tā bǎ wǒ de diànnǎo jièzǒu le.

He borrowed my computer and took it away.

Many classmates go to parties after class, but I want to go home and rest.

学xué　中文zhōngwén　的de　时候shíhou，　我wǒ　觉得juéde　汉字Hànzì　很hěn　难nán。xué zhōngwén de shíhou, wǒ juéde Hànzì hěn nán.

When I study Chinese, I feel that Chinese characters are very hard.

我Wǒ　喜欢xǐhuan　自己zìjǐ　先xiān　复习fùxí　语法yǔfǎ，　再zài　写xiě　汉字Hànzì　和hé　生词shēngcí。Wǒ xǐhuan zìjǐ xiān fùxí yǔfǎ, zài xiě Hànzì hé shēngcí.

I think everyone should have the right to freely express their own opinions.

学xué　中文zhōngwén　是shì　我wǒ　的de　权利quánlì，　也yě　是shì　我wǒ　的de　爱好àihào。xué zhōngwén shì wǒ de quánlì, yě shì wǒ de àihào.

My mom cares a lot about my health.

我Wǒ　还hái　不bù　太tài　习惯xíguàn　这么zhème　早zǎo　起床qǐchuáng。Wǒ hái bù tài xíguàn zhème zǎo qǐchuáng.

I’m still not quite used to getting up this early.

我Wǒ　觉得juéde　每个měige　人rén　都dōu　有yǒu　选择xuǎnzé　自己zìjǐ　想xiǎng　爱ài　谁shéi　的de　权利quánlì。Wǒ juéde měige rén dōu yǒu xuǎnzé zìjǐ xiǎng ài shéi de quánlì.

I can’t quite hear clearly; could you say it slowly again?

她Tā　的de　声音shēngyīn　很hěn　小xiǎo，　在zài　公园gōngyuán　里lǐ　不bù　容易róngyì　听清楚tīngqīngchu，　比如bǐrú　刚才gāngcái　我wǒ　就jiù　没méi　听懂tīngdǒng。Tā de shēngyīn hěn xiǎo, zài gōngyuán lǐ bù róngyì tīngqīngchu, bǐrú gāngcái wǒ jiù méi tīngdǒng.

Her voice is very soft, so in the park it’s not easy to hear clearly; for example, just now I didn’t understand her.

我wǒ　有yǒu　六liù　本běn　书shū。wǒ yǒu liù běn shū.

I have six books.

我wǒ　不bù　喜欢xǐhuan　别人biéren　帮bāng　我wǒ　做zuò　作业zuòyè。wǒ bù xǐhuan biéren bāng wǒ zuò zuòyè.

I want to hear her voice clearly in a quiet room.

我wǒ　不bú　太tài　喜欢xǐhuan　跑步pǎobù，　但是dànshì　觉得juéde　做zuò　一点儿yìdiǎnr　运动yùndòng　对duì　健康jiànkāng　很hěn　好hǎo。wǒ bú tài xǐhuan pǎobù, dànshì juéde zuò yìdiǎnr yùndòng duì jiànkāng hěn hǎo.

I don’t really like running, but I think doing a bit of exercise is very good for health.

晚饭wǎnfàn　后hòu　我wǒ　和hé　妈妈māma　去qù　公园gōngyuán　散步sànbù，　觉得juéde　这样zhèyàng　生活shēnghuó　很hěn　舒服shūfu。wǎnfàn hòu wǒ hé māma qù gōngyuán sànbù, juéde zhèyàng shēnghuó hěn shūfu.

After dinner my mom and I go for a walk in the park and feel that life like this is very comfortable.

My apartment has a small kitchen and a living room, and there is a refrigerator in the kitchen.

我wǒ　一点儿yìdiǎnr　也yě　不bú　害怕hàipà　在zài　这zhè　条tiáo　马路mǎlù　上shàng　走zǒu，　因为yīnwèi　晚上wǎnshang　也yě　很hěn　安全ānquán。wǒ yìdiǎnr yě bú hàipà zài zhè tiáo mǎlù shàng zǒu, yīnwèi wǎnshang yě hěn ānquán.

I’m not afraid at all to walk on this road, because it’s also very safe at night.

今天jīntiān　的de　天气tiānqì　又yòu　冷lěng　又yòu　下雨xiàyǔ，　我wǒ　只zhǐ　想xiǎng　在zài　客厅kètīng　里lǐ　休息xiūxi。jīntiān de tiānqì yòu lěng yòu xiàyǔ, wǒ zhǐ xiǎng zài kètīng lǐ xiūxi.

Her way of thinking is the same as mine; neither of us is willing to give up studying Chinese.

我wǒ　住zhù　的de　公寓gōngyù　不bú　大dà，　但是dànshì　环境huánjìng　又yòu　安静ānjìng　又yòu　安全ānquán。wǒ zhù de gōngyù bú dà, dànshì huánjìng yòu ānjìng yòu ānquán.

The apartment I live in isn’t big, but the environment is both quiet and safe.

我wǒ　不bù　想xiǎng　花huā　太tài　多duō　钱qián　买mǎi　新xīn　衣服yīfu。wǒ bù xiǎng huā tài duō qián mǎi xīn yīfu.

Every time after work, I go to the park for a walk.

这zhè　次cì　我wǒ　不bù　去qù　超市chāoshì。zhè cì wǒ bù qù chāoshì.

This time I’m not going to the supermarket.

他tā　说话shuōhuà　的de　声音shēngyīn　很hěn　小xiǎo，　我wǒ　听tīng　不bù　太tài　清楚qīngchu。tā shuōhuà de shēngyīn hěn xiǎo, wǒ tīng bù tài qīngchu.

His voice is very soft when he speaks, and I can’t quite hear clearly.

我wǒ　走过zǒuguò　很多hěnduō　条tiáo　马路mǎlù，　才cái　到dào　公园gōngyuán。wǒ zǒuguò hěnduō tiáo mǎlù, cái dào gōngyuán.
