Borrowing and handing things over
Borrow, hand over and confirm the right recipient.
Listen, read, and retell
Pass 1: understand the situation. Pass 2: hide meanings and read. Pass 3: retell it in your own words.
Conversation
I would like to borrow a book from the teacher; I am the group leader today. Should I ask before entering the office?
Yes. Do not take things when the owner is absent. Explain what you want to borrow and when you will return it, then ask permission.
The teacher asked me to hand this assignment to another teacher. May I first change to a clearer notebook?
Confirm which version is required rather than changing the content yourself. Separate the book and assignment before leaving so they are not mixed up.
Extension reading
Anan finds the teacher, explains the borrowing request and notes the return date. Only after agreement does she put the book in her bag.
Back in class she gives the assignment to the intended teacher and confirms completion to Xiao He. Naming the recipient matters more than memorising 交 alone.
