lǐ李xuě雪，nǐ你zuìjìn最近shìbùshì是不是měi每tiān天dōu都liù六diǎn点qǐchuáng起床？

Li Xue, have you been getting up at six every day lately?

duì对，wǒ我yào要gǎn赶zǎo早bān班chē车。shìbùshì是不是nàozhōng闹钟chǎo吵dào到nǐ你le了？

Yes, I need to catch an early bus. Has my alarm been waking you up?

yǒu有yīdiǎnr一点儿。wǒ我wǎnshang晚上xiàbān下班wǎn晚，nà那gè个shíhou时候hái还méi没shuì睡gòu够。

A little. I finish work late at night, so I have not had enough sleep by then.

bùhǎoyìsi不好意思，wǒ我pà怕qǐ起bù不lái来，shè设le了sān三gè个nàozhōng闹钟。

Sorry. I set three alarms because I am afraid I will oversleep.

néngbùnéng能不能xiān先yòng用shēngyīn声音xiǎo小yīdiǎnr一点儿de的？shǒujī手机yě也kěyǐ可以fàng放zài在chuáng床biān边。

Could you try a quieter one first? You could also keep your phone by your bed.

kěyǐ可以。wǒ我xiān先shì试shì试zhèndòng振动，rúguǒ如果bùgòu不够，zài再kāi开yī一gè个xiǎoshēng小声de的nàozhōng闹钟。

Sure. I will try vibration first, and if that is not enough, use one quiet alarm.

xièxie谢谢。rúguǒ如果wǒ我hái还bèi被chǎo吵xǐng醒，wǒmen我们zài再yīqǐ一起xiǎng想bànfǎ办法。

Thanks. If it still wakes me up, we can work out another solution together.

hǎo好，nǐ你zhíjiē直接gàosu告诉wǒ我jiù就xíng行，bié别zìjǐ自己rěn忍zhe着。

Okay. Just tell me directly; do not put up with it in silence.
