安安
因yīn为wèi外wài面miàn下雨xià yǔ,所以suǒ yǐ我们wǒ men改gǎi在zài教jiào室shì活huó动dòng。虽suī然rán地dì方fāng小xiǎo,但是dàn shì大家dà jiā还hái是shì愿yuàn意yì来lái。

Because it is raining, we will meet in the classroom. Although the room is small, people still want to come.

这zhè样yàng不bù但dàn不bù用yòng走zǒu远yuǎn,而ér且qiě有yǒu地dì方fāng放fàng书shū。不bù过guò,先xiān问wèn问wèn老师lǎo shī教jiào室shì能néng不bù能néng用yòng。

That means no long walk and a place for books. Still, we should ask whether the room is available.

安安
我wǒ刚gāng才cái去qù看kàn了le,可kě是shì门mén关guān着zhe。我wǒ想xiǎng直zhí接jiē回huí家jiā,但dàn又yòu发fā现xiàn门mén口kǒu有yǒu一yī张zhāng新xīn的de通tōng知zhī。

I checked, but the door was closed. I was about to go home when I noticed a new notice by the entrance.

小禾
原yuán来lái老师lǎo shī在zài别bié的de教jiào室shì等děng我们wǒ men。接jiē下xià来lái先xiān把bǎ东西dōng xī拿ná过guò去qù,然rán后hòu分fēn组zǔ;可以kě yǐ听tīng故gù事shì,或huò做zuò练习liàn xí,或huò者zhě两liǎng种zhǒng都dōu试shì。

The teacher is waiting in another room. Next we move our things and form groups, with stories, exercises or both as options.

Extension reading

安ān安ān刚gāng放fàng好hǎo书shū,不bù一yī会huì儿er外wài面miàn忽hū然rán响xiǎng起qǐ了le很hěn大dà的de雨yǔ声shēng。同学tóng xué们men接jiē着zhe把bǎ窗chuāng关guān好hǎo,同tóng时shí把bǎ大家dà jiā需xū要yào的de纸zhǐ分fēn下xià去qù。

Soon after Anan arranges the books, heavy rain starts suddenly. The students close the windows while handing out the papers.

计jì划huà改gǎi变biàn了le,活huó动dòng却què没有méi yǒu停tíng。大家dà jiā说shuō,听tīng清qīng楚chu原yuán因yīn、想xiǎng好hǎo下xià一yī步bù,比bǐ只zhǐ因yīn为wèi一点儿yī diǎn er变biàn化huà就jiù着zháo急jí更gèng有yǒu用yòng。

The plan changes but the activity continues. Understanding the reason and deciding the next step helps more than panicking at every change.
