Try without reading. Work with a partner or make a private recording and listen back. Check the message and the response to your partner; pronunciation needs actual speech.

Your writing is not uploaded or automatically graded. Several responses may fit the task.
Remember for next time
The count is 两个, not 二个 in this ordinary phrase. Use a measure word instead of directly copying English two apples.
Tomorrow, recall two words and try the speaking task with a new detail. A few days later, revisit the listening without its script.
Teacher and partner guidance
Model the goal, then let the learner attempt it. Check understanding of the spoken passage with the script hidden. Use the writing checklist to discuss meaning and structure; use actual speech to observe intelligibility and interaction. These public tasks are formative and must not be reused as unseen tests.
