咱zán们men这zhè本běn小xiǎo书shū叫jiào作zuò什么shén me好hǎo?除chú了le文wén字zì以yǐ外wài,我wǒ还hái想xiǎng为wèi班bān级jí加jiā几jǐ张zhāng照zhào片piàn,让ràng颜yán色sè丰fēng富fù一yī点diǎn点diǎn。

What should we call our booklet? Besides the text, I want to add photographs for the class and a little more colour.

小禾
先xiān让ràng大家dà jiā选xuǎn吧ba。咱zán也yě想xiǎng看kàn看kàn别bié人rén的de办bàn法fǎ;如rú果guǒ只zhǐ照zhào着zhe一yī个gè人rén的de想xiǎng法fǎ做zuò,就jiù不bù是shì大家dà jiā一yī起qǐ完成wán chéng的de了le。

Let everyone choose first. I would like to see other approaches too; following only one person's idea would not be a joint project.

这个zhè ge封fēng面miàn有点儿yǒu diǎn er暗àn,可kě是shì又yòu不bù想xiǎng全quán换huàn掉diào。我们wǒ men能néng不bù能néng只zhǐ改gǎi一yī点diǎn点diǎn,看kàn看kàn字zì会huì不bù会huì更gèng清qīng楚chu?

This cover is a little dark, but I do not want to replace everything. Could a small change make the text clearer?

小禾
可以kě yǐ。如rú果guǒ照zhào片piàn太tài多duō,就jiù少shǎo放fàng两liǎng张zhāng;如rú果guǒ名字míng zì已yǐ经jīng合hé适shì,就jiù留liú下xia。每měi次cì改gǎi完wán都dōu请qǐng别bié人rén再zài看kàn一yī次cì。

Yes. Reduce the photographs if there are too many, and keep a suitable title. Ask someone to look after each change.

Extension reading

两liǎng个gè人rén没有méi yǒu只zhǐ看kàn自zì己jǐ喜欢xǐ huan哪nǎ一yī种zhǒng颜yán色sè,也yě问wèn别bié人rén能néng不bù能néng读dú清qīng楚chu。安ān安ān发fā现xiàn,为wèi大家dà jiā做zuò东西dōng xī,需xū要yào把bǎ别bié人rén的de使shǐ用yòng情况qíng kuàng也yě考kǎo虑lǜ进jìn去qù。

They consider not only favourite colours but also whether others can read them. Anan sees that making something for a group means considering other users.

最zuì后hòu,小xiǎo书shū有yǒu了le自zì己jǐ的de名míng称chēng。大家dà jiā把bǎ第dì一yī次cì和hé最zuì后hòu一yī次cì的de样yàng子zi放fàng在zài一yī起qǐ,看见kàn jiàn很hěn多duō小xiǎo小xiǎo的de改gǎi变biàn怎zěn样yàng组成zǔ chéng一yī个gè更gèng完wán整zhěng的de作zuò品pǐn。

The booklet gains its own title. Comparing the first and last versions shows how small changes build a more complete work.
