2 . I have been trying to get my new room in order.我試圖把我的新房間收拾整齊，
3 . At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room.這會兒，書把地板的每一點空隙都佔據了，我實際上是踩著這些書進出房間的。
4 . 'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said.「這是我見過的最漂亮的地毯，」她說。
5 . 'You don't need bookcases at all.You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'「你根本用不著書櫥，空閒時你可以坐在這兒讀地毯！」
6 . She gazed at it for some time then added,她凝視著它一會兒，補充道，
7 . We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning.我們剛剛搬進一所新房子，我辛辛苦苦地干了整整一個上午。
8 . She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor.她走進我的房間，當她看到地板上的那些書時，大吃一驚。
9 . To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor.更糟糕的是房間還非常小，所以我暫時把書放在了地板上。
10 . This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books.但這並不容易，因為我有1，000多本書。
