I would suggest using these:

(A) They are listening to the music on the radio.

(b) He is cooking the pasta.

(c) He is admiring his face in the mirror.

(e) He put the goods on the trolly.

He transported/moved the goods with/on a trolly.

(f) He is pushing his baby in a pram.

(g) My mother prepares / cooks / makes meals for us.


I wasn't sure what you were trying to say in sentence (d).

Anyone can help me correct? especially (d) ?

D is tough unless we know what you are actually talking about. You can slide the card here; you can put the card here; you can put the card through here; you can slip the card through the card reader; you can put the card in the slot.

Give us an example, if you can, of what context the card and the slot are used.

Hi Vincent,

I believe you are talking about the badge reader machines. If so,  the answer to (d): You can swipe the card here.

If I talk about the badge reader machines, can I say,

 (a) You can slot / slide the card here.

'swipe' is the verb used for putting a card with a magnetic strip or a chip through an automatic reader.
