And another mistake:
"scrivania" as in Hai una scrivania?
Scusi!
I see I made a mistake in an accent mark. It should be:
È buona?
Hai una penna?
Sì, ce l'ho.
Hai un pezzo di carta?
No, non ce l'ho.
Hai una scivania?
Sì, ecco.
É buona?
Grazie!
Hi E,
great job, keep it up!

Hai un libro?
Hi metyus,
"ce" can have different meanings in Italian, but here "CE+L''" means "it / one" (referring to the pen).
Ho una penna (I have a pen) -> ce l'ho (I have it / one).
Hope this helps!

Ciao! Come sta? In Italian, to ask for a book is: "Hai un libro?"
