Try to have these classroom expressions appear in writing by speaking them on Google Translate; set “Chinese” for both the left (voice input) and right (written output) sides; speak slowly after you click the microphone icon on the left panel and, if your pronunciation is good, you will see Chinese characters pop up on the right panel. Most cell phones also have voice input and translation capabilities to transcribe human speech into character texts or translate Chinese texts into English.
