We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. I have been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor. 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. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. 'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said. She gazed at it for some time, then added, 'You don't need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'

我们刚搬进新家，我整个上午都在忙着收拾自己的新房间。这可不容易，因为我有一千多本书。 更麻烦的是，房间还很小，我只好暂时把书放在地上。现在，地板上每一寸地方都铺着书，进出房间都得踩着它们走。 刚才，姐姐帮我把一个旧书柜搬上楼。 她走进房间，看见满地的书，吃了一惊，说：“这是我见过的最漂亮的地毯。” 她看了一会儿，又说：“你根本不需要书柜。空闲时坐在这里，读这块地毯就行了！”
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《漂亮的地毯》：搬家后忙着整理 → 地板全被书占了 → 姐姐来帮搬书柜 → 她说这是最美的地毯 → 坐下来读地毯就好。再借一个结构讲自己的事：本句更关心做了多久，还是完成了多少？换自己的学习过程说一句。
