For Special Attention

wake up = stop sleeping — 停止睡觉;醒来。
wake up + get out of bed = "get up," as in "What time did you get up?" "At 7:00." — wake up(醒来)加上 get out of bed(下床)合起来就是 get up(起床),例如:"你几点起床的?""七点。"
take a shower = wash yourself in a shower. You can also take a bath. — 在淋浴中洗澡。你也可以说 take a bath(泡澡)。
use the toilet — Other polite ways to say use the toilet are "go to the bathroom" and "use the bathroom." 表示"上厕所"的其他委婉说法是 go to the bathroom 和 use the bathroom。
flush a toilet — When you flush a toilet, water cleans the toilet bowl. 当你冲马桶时,水会清洗马桶瓷缸。
