He might be working outside, so he has no time.

为了Wèile　健康jiànkāng，　很多hěnduō　人rén　觉得juéde　公园gōngyuán　附近fùjìn　的de　环境huánjìng　很hěn　好hǎo，　所以suǒyǐ　晚上wǎnshang　常常chángcháng　去qù　公园gōngyuán　走zǒu　一下yíxià。Wèile jiànkāng, hěnduō rén juéde gōngyuán fùjìn de huánjìng hěn hǎo, suǒyǐ wǎnshang chángcháng qù gōngyuán zǒu yíxià.

For their health, many people feel that the environment near the park is very good, so in the evening they often go to the park for a walk.

她tā　常常chángcháng　走错zǒucuò，　所以suǒyǐ　出门chūmén　以前yǐqián　都dōu　看kàn　一下yíxià　地图dìtú。tā chángcháng zǒucuò, suǒyǐ chūmén yǐqián dōu kàn yíxià dìtú.

She often goes the wrong way, so before going out she always looks at the map.

他tā　今天jīntiān　走错路zǒucuòlù　了le，　所以suǒyǐ　来lái　得de　很hěn　晚wǎn。tā jīntiān zǒucuòlù le, suǒyǐ lái de hěn wǎn.

He went the wrong way today, so he arrived very late.

我wǒ　的de　室友shìyǒu　有时候yǒushíhou　会huì　把bǎ　护照hùzhào　放fàng　在zài　书shū　里li，　所以suǒyǐ　总是zǒngshì　找zhǎo　不bú　到dào。wǒ de shìyǒu yǒushíhou huì bǎ hùzhào fàng zài shū li, suǒyǐ zǒngshì zhǎo bú dào.

Sometimes my roommate puts the passport inside a book, so she can never find it.

她tā　一直yìzhí　很hěn　努力nǔlì，　所以suǒyǐ　相信xiāngxìn　自己zìjǐ　的de　成绩chéngjì　会huì　越yuè　来lái　越yuè　好hǎo。tā yìzhí hěn nǔlì, suǒyǐ xiāngxìn zìjǐ de chéngjì huì yuè lái yuè hǎo.

She has always worked hard, so she believes her grades will get better and better.

她tā　今天jīntiān　没méi　戴dài　眼镜yǎnjìng，　所以suǒyǐ　看kàn　不bù　清楚qīngchu　地图dìtú。tā jīntiān méi dài yǎnjìng, suǒyǐ kàn bù qīngchu dìtú.

She isn’t wearing her glasses today, so she can’t see the map clearly.

她tā　对duì　中国zhōngguó　文化wénhuà　很hěn　有yǒu　兴趣xìngqù，　所以suǒyǐ　她tā　的de　计划jìhuà　是shì　每天měitiān　花huā　一yí　个gè　小时xiǎoshí　提高tígāo　自己zìjǐ　的de　中文zhōngwén　水平shuǐpíng。tā duì zhōngguó wénhuà hěn yǒu xìngqù, suǒyǐ tā de jìhuà shì měitiān huā yí gè xiǎoshí tígāo zìjǐ de zhōngwén shuǐpíng.

She is very interested in Chinese culture, so her plan is to spend an hour every day improving her Chinese level.

她tā　觉得juéde　这zhè　个gè　问题wèntí　跟gēn　健康jiànkāng　有yǒu　关系guānxi，　也yě　跟gēn　每个měige　人rén　的de　兴趣xìngqù　有yǒu　关系guānxi，　所以suǒyǐ　这zhè　个gè　年轻niánqīng　记者jìzhě　想xiǎng　写xiě　一些yìxiē　文章wénzhāng。tā juéde zhè gè wèntí gēn jiànkāng yǒu guānxi, yě gēn měige rén de xìngqù yǒu guānxi, suǒyǐ zhè gè niánqīng jìzhě xiǎng xiě yìxiē wénzhāng.

She thinks this question is related to health and also to each person’s interests, so this young reporter wants to write some articles.

周末zhōumò　在zài　家jiā　吃饭chīfàn　的de　时候shíhou，　我们wǒmen　常常chángcháng　用yòng　很多hěnduō　碗wǎn，　所以suǒyǐ　吃完chīwán　以后yǐhòu　得děi　一起yìqǐ　洗xǐ　碗wǎn。zhōumò zài jiā chīfàn de shíhou, wǒmen chángcháng yòng hěnduō wǎn, suǒyǐ chīwán yǐhòu děi yìqǐ xǐ wǎn.

When we eat at home on weekends, we often use many bowls, so after eating we have to wash them together.

她tā　说shuō　自己zìjǐ　最zuì近jìn　常常chángcháng　感觉gǎnjué　太tài　累lèi，　所以suǒyǐ　想xiǎng　少shǎo　去qù　体育馆tǐyùguǎn，　多duō　在zài　家jiā　休息xiūxi。tā shuō zìjǐ zuìjìn chángcháng gǎnjué tài lèi, suǒyǐ xiǎng shǎo qù tǐyùguǎn, duō zài jiā xiūxi.

She says she has often been feeling too tired recently, so she wants to go to the gym less and rest more at home.

我wǒ　觉jué得de　这zhè　个gè　城市chéngshì　的de　空气kōngqì　不bù　太tài　好hǎo，　所以suǒyǐ　很hěn　多duō　人rén　晚上wǎnshang　去qù　公园gōngyuán　散步sànbù，　说shuō　那里nàli　的de　空气kōngqì　比bǐ　家jiā　附近fùjìn　好hǎo　多duō。wǒ juéde zhè gè chéngshì de kōngqì bù tài hǎo, suǒyǐ hěn duō rén wǎnshang qù gōngyuán sànbù, shuō nàli de kōngqì bǐ jiā fùjìn hǎo duō.

I think the air in this city isn’t very good, so many people go for walks in the park at night, saying the air there is much better than near home.

Her ideal is to be a writer, so she really likes reading novels.

因为Yīnwèi　她tā　不bù　喜欢xǐhuan　排队páiduì，　所以suǒyǐ　常常chángcháng　提前tíqián　去qù　食堂shítáng。Yīnwèi tā bù xǐhuan páiduì, suǒyǐ chángcháng tíqián qù shítáng.

Because she doesn’t like lining up, she often goes to the cafeteria early.

因为yīnwèi　她tā　很hěn　有yǒu　耐心nàixīn，　所以suǒyǐ　学生xuéshēng　都dōu　喜欢xǐhuan　她tā　的de　上课shàngkè　态度tàidu。yīnwèi tā hěn yǒu nàixīn, suǒyǐ xuéshēng dōu xǐhuan tā de shàngkè tàidu.

Because she is very patient, the students all like her attitude in class.

Maybe I’m too tired today, so I just want to rest at home.

我wǒ　早上zǎoshang　发烧fāshāo　了le，　还有点儿hái　yǒudiǎnr　头疼tóuténg，　所以suǒyǐ　没méi　去qù　上课shàngkè。wǒ zǎoshang fāshāo le, hái yǒudiǎnr tóuténg, suǒyǐ méi qù shàngkè.

I had a fever this morning and also had a bit of a headache, so I didn’t go to class.

她tā　没有méiyǒu　提前tíqián　预约yùyuē，　所以suǒyǐ　在zài　医院yīyuàn　等děng　了le　很hěn　久jiǔ。tā méiyǒu tíqián yùyuē, suǒyǐ zài yīyuàn děng le hěn jiǔ.

She didn’t make an appointment in advance, so she waited at the hospital for a long time.

I’m not feeling well today, so I want to take leave and go home to rest.

昨天zuótiān　晚上wǎnshang　我wǒ　没méi　睡好shuìhǎo，　所以suǒyǐ　今天jīntiān　有点儿yǒudiǎnr　头疼tóuténg。zuótiān wǎnshang wǒ méi shuìhǎo, suǒyǐ jīntiān yǒudiǎnr tóuténg.

I didn’t sleep well last night, so I have a bit of a headache today.

这家Zhèjiā　网店wǎngdiàn　的de　客服kèfú　回huí　消息xiāoxi　很hěn　快kuài，　所以suǒyǐ　我wǒ　觉得juéde　很hěn　方便fāngbiàn。Zhèjiā wǎngdiàn de kèfú huí xiāoxi hěn kuài, suǒyǐ wǒ juéde hěn fāngbiàn.

The customer service of this online shop replies very quickly, so I think it’s very convenient.

我Wǒ　忘记wàngjì　了le　账号zhànghào　的de　密码mìmǎ，　所以suǒyǐ　现在xiànzài　不bù　能néng　登录dēnglù。Wǒ wàngjì le zhànghào de mìmǎ, suǒyǐ xiànzài bù néng dēnglù.

I forgot the password for my account, so I can’t log in now.

I just deleted a file, but I had already saved it, so it’s fine.

我wǒ　还hái　没méi　收到shōudào　退款tuìkuǎn，　所以suǒyǐ　想xiǎng　再zài　联系liánxì　客服kèfú。wǒ hái méi shōudào tuìkuǎn, suǒyǐ xiǎng zài liánxì kèfú.

I still haven’t received the refund, so I want to contact customer service again.

她tā　上shàng　网课wǎngkè　的de　时候shíhou　总是zǒngshì　戴dài　着zhe　耳机ěrjī，　所以suǒyǐ　旁边pángbiān　的de　人rén　听不见tīngbujiàn　老师lǎoshī　的de　声音shēngyīn。tā shàng wǎngkè de shíhou zǒngshì dài zhe ěrjī, suǒyǐ pángbiān de rén tīngbujiàn lǎoshī de shēngyīn.

When she attends online classes, she always wears earphones, so the people next to her can’t hear the teacher’s voice.

她tā　不但bùdàn　很hěn　聪明cōngming，　而且érqiě　很hěn　诚实chéngshí，　所以suǒyǐ　大家dàjiā　都dōu　愿意yuànyì　跟gēn　她tā　合作hézuò。tā bùdàn hěn cōngming, érqiě hěn chéngshí, suǒyǐ dàjiā dōu yuànyì gēn tā hézuò.

She is not only smart, but also honest, so everyone is willing to work with her.

春天chūntiān　的de　时候shíhou，　这个zhège　城市chéngshì　不bú　是shì　下雨xiàyǔ，　就jiù　是shì　刮风guāfēng，　所以suǒyǐ　我wǒ　常常chángcháng　带dài　伞sǎn　出门chūmén。chūntiān de shíhou, zhège chéngshì bú shì xiàyǔ, jiù shì guāfēng, suǒyǐ wǒ chángcháng dài sǎn chūmén.

In spring, this city is either rainy or windy, so I often bring an umbrella when I go out.

我wǒ　今天jīntiān　下午xiàwǔ　要yào　上shàng　课kè，　所以suǒyǐ　不bù　能néng　去qù　公园gōngyuán。wǒ jīntiān xiàwǔ yào shàng kè, suǒyǐ bù néng qù gōngyuán.

I have class this afternoon, so I can’t go to the park.

她tā　昨天zuótiān　没有méiyǒu　午睡wǔshuì，　所以suǒyǐ　晚上wǎnshang　八点半bādiǎnbàn　就jiù　想xiǎng　睡觉shuìjiào　了le。tā zuótiān méiyǒu wǔshuì, suǒyǐ wǎnshang bādiǎnbàn jiù xiǎng shuìjiào le.

She didn’t take a nap yesterday, so she wanted to go to sleep as early as eight-thirty.

她tā　每天měitiān　晚上wǎnshang　都dōu　会huì　整理zhěnglǐ　桌子zhuōzi，　所以suǒyǐ　房间fángjiān　不bù　太tài　乱luàn。tā měitiān wǎnshang dōu huì zhěnglǐ zhuōzi, suǒyǐ fángjiān bù tài luàn.

Every night she tidies her desk, so her room isn’t very messy.

我wǒ　把bǎ　眼镜yǎnjìng　放fàng　在zài　家jiā　里li　了le，　所以suǒyǐ　现在xiànzài　看不清楚kànbùqīngchu。wǒ bǎ yǎnjìng fàng zài jiā li le, suǒyǐ xiànzài kànbùqīngchu.

I left my glasses at home, so I can’t see clearly now.
