(It is beyond me why she's reading a boring book like that.)

Haha ga Nihon ni kuru mae ni, kono heya o kirei ni soji shinakereba naranai.
(Before my mother comes to Japan, I have to make this room nice and clean. "-nakereba naranai" = must, how economical of the Japanese.)

Isshukan de watashi ga yomu hon wa yonsatsu desu.
(In one week, I read four books.)
