The new room is ready and you are invited to dinner. Is there enough room to walk beside the desk and cupboard?

安安

放fàng在zài桌子zhuō zi这zhè一yī边biān就jiù行xíng。我们wǒ men先xiān看kàn说shuō明míng，再zài决jué定dìng做zuò什么shén me，不bù用yòng为wèi了le快kuài就jiù乱luàn开kāi机jī器qì。

Put them on this side. Read the instructions before deciding what to cook rather than switching things on at random.

I will get bowls and chopsticks and divide the cooked rice into two portions. We need not order takeaway or prepare many dishes.

They store what remains and consider whether the room colours and lighting suit reading. The meal brings new daily expressions into use.
