Often the teacher asks us to write a brief summary of what we have read.
Leo tumekubaliana kutuma ujumbe mfupi kwa mwalimu tukimaliza zoezi.
Today we have agreed to send a short message to the teacher when we finish the exercise.
Hata kama tumekuwa tukifanya mazoezi kwa muda mfupi karibu na bwawa la kuogelea, kocha wetu anatupongeza kwa bidii yetu.
