《English Translation》

大卫: Teacher, whenever I use chopsticks, the dumplings always get away from me.
刘娜: Haha, maybe the dumplings don't want you to eat them.
大卫: I tried picking one up three times, and it fell three times.
刘娜: Don't worry. Watch me. You need to hold the chopsticks like this.
大卫: Like this? It's so hard.
刘娜: Yes. Take it slowly and start by picking up bigger things.
大卫: My mom is very good at using chopsticks. She's Chinese.
刘娜: Then you can ask your mom to teach you and practice every day.
大卫: Okay! I want to eat with chopsticks, not with my hands.
刘娜: In China, many children start using chopsticks when they're very young.
大卫: Then I'm a little kid now, haha!
刘娜: That's okay. You'll get good at using them very soon.
