安安
你nǐ今天jīn tiān运yùn动dòng以yǐ后hòu还hái舒shū服fu吗ma?我wǒ全quán身shēn有点儿yǒu diǎn er累lèi,腿tuǐ和hé脚jiǎo也yě有yǒu一点儿yī diǎn er疼téng。

Do you feel comfortable after today's activity? I feel tired all over and my legs and feet ache a little.

小禾
我wǒ先xiān坐zuò一yī会huì儿er。你nǐ说shuō的de是shì腿tuǐ疼téng,还hái是shì头tóu疼téng?说shuō清qīng楚chu哪里nǎ lǐ难nán受shòu,别bié人rén才cái能néng听tīng懂dǒng。

I will sit for a moment. Do you mean your leg hurts or your head? Say clearly where you feel discomfort so others understand.

安安
是shì腿tuǐ,不bù是shì头tóu。我wǒ的de脸liǎn有点儿yǒu diǎn er热rè,头tóu发fa也yě湿shī了le,眼yǎn睛jing想xiǎng闭bì一yī会huì儿er。

My legs, not my head. My face feels warm, my hair is wet and I would like to close my eyes briefly.

小禾
先xiān别bié用yòng手shǒu揉róu眼yǎn。嘴zuǐ里lǐ想xiǎng说shuō什么shén me就jiù慢màn慢màn说shuō,别bié为wèi了le跟gēn别bié人rén一yī样yàng,觉得jué de难nán受shòu也yě不bù讲jiǎng。

Do not rub your eyes with your hand. Say what you need slowly; do not hide discomfort just to match everyone else.

The teacher values health and asks them to describe how they feel and notice their condition. Anan does not assume discomfort must be normal.

回huí去qù以yǐ后hòu,她tā把bǎ洗澡xǐ zǎo和hé休息xiū xi的de东西dōng xī放fàng在zài柜guì子zi里lǐ头tou。她tā知道zhī dào,里lǐ头tou的de头tóu读dú轻声qīng shēng,和hé头tóu发fa的de头tóu不bù是shì同tóng一yī种zhǒng用法yòng fǎ。
