今天jīn tiān轮lún到dào我们wǒ men介jiè绍shào小xiǎo书shū。我wǒ想xiǎng先xiān说shuō为wèi什么shén me做zuò这zhè本běn书shū，再zài讲jiǎng大家dà jiā怎zěn样yàng把bǎ它tā完成wán chéng。这zhè样yàng讲jiǎng顺shùn利lì吗ma？

It is our turn to present the booklet. I want to explain why we made it and then how. Does that order work?

小禾

可以kě yǐ。先xiān用yòng一yī个gè普pǔ通tōng日rì子zi作zuò例lì子zi，再zài给gěi大家dà jiā看kàn图tú片piàn。不要bù yào只zhǐ说shuō用yòng了le多少duō shǎo词cí，要yào让ràng别bié人rén听tīng懂dǒng故gù事shì。

Use an ordinary day as an example before showing pictures. Explain a story rather than merely count words.

安安

有yǒu人rén问wèn封fēng面miàn为wèi什么shén me只zhǐ改gǎi了le一yī点diǎn点diǎn，我wǒ会huì说shuō，我们wǒ men先xiān看kàn能néng不bù能néng读dú清qīng楚chu，不bù是shì只zhǐ选xuǎn自zì己jǐ喜欢xǐ huan的de颜yán色sè。

If asked why the cover changed only slightly, I will explain that readability mattered more than favourite colours.

小禾

Anan can clarify unclear points despite mistakes. Xiao He has moved from nodding to asking questions.
