Hello? Hello, is teacher Chang there? I'm here. Who is this? Hello, teacher. This is LiYou. LiYou, is something wrong? Teacher, do you have any free time this afternoon? I'd like to ask you a few questions. Sorry, this afternoon I have to attend a meeting. What about tomorrow? Tomorrow morning I have two classes, and in the afternoon I must give an exam to the second year students. When do you have free time? I don't have time until after 4pm tomorrow. If it's convenient for you, I can go to your office at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon. 4:30 is no problem. I will wait for you in my office. Thank you. No worries.

Answer 413

Hello, excuse me, is WangPeng there? I'm here. Is this LiYou? WangPeng, next week I have a Chinese exam, could you help me prepare a bit and practice speaking Chinese with me? That's fine, but you must treat me to coffee. Coffee? That's fine. What time should I meet you? Do you have time tonight? Tonight, Bai YingAi is treating me to a meal. Really? She is treating you to a meal. Yes. I will give you a call when I get back. Okay, I'll wait for your call.

Answer 414

LiYou, how did you do on last week's exam? Because you helped me review, I did okay. However, I write too slow! Really? Later, I will practice writing characters with you, how does that sound? That's great! How about we practice right now? Okay, give me a pen and a piece of paper. What do you want to write? Teach me how to write the character for "to understand." Okay. You write really well, and really fast. Where? Do you have Chinese class tomorrow? I will help you preview. Tomorrow, we are learning lesson 7. Lesson 7's grammar is really easy, I understand it all, but there is too much vocabulary, and the characters are a bit difficult. No issue, I'll help you.

Answer 415

Bai YingAi, you usually arrive so early, why did you come so late today? Last night I previewed Chinese, I didn't go to bed until 4 in the morning. Did you also go to bed late? Last night I went to bed at 10. Wang Peng helped me practice Chinese, so I finished my homework very quickly. It's nice to have a Chinese friend. Good morning, everybody. We're going to begin class. Did you all preview lesson 7? We did. LiYou, could you please read the dialogue aloud...you read quite well. Did you listen to the audio recording last night? I did not. However, her friend helped her study last night. Is your friend Chinese? Yes. He is a very handsome, very cool man named WangPeng.

Answer 416

LiYou's Diary: Tuesday, November 3rd. Today, I was very busy and very tired. I woke up at 7am, showered, then immediately ate breakfast. While eating, I listened to the recording. At 9, I went to the classroom. My first class was Chinese. The teacher taught us pronunciation, new vocab, and grammar. She also taught us how to write characters and gave us our new dialogue. The new dialogue is very interesting. My second class was computer class; it's very hard. In the afternoon, my classmates and I went to the cafeteria for lunch. While eating, we practiced speaking Chinese. In the afternoon, I went to the library to surf the web. At four, WangPeng came looking for me to play ball. At 5:45 we ate dinner. At 7:30, I went to Bai YingAi's dorm to chat. When I arrived, she was doing her homework. I went home at 8pm. Before I went to bed, Gao Wen Zhong gave me a call, he told me we have an exam tomorrow, I said "I already know."

Answer 417

Xiao Yin: Hello! Long time no see, how have you been recently? This semester I have been really busy; in addition to my major classes, I also have to take Chinese. Our Chinese class is really interesting. Our teacher cannot speak English, so in class, we only speak Chinese, not English. Wang Peng often helps me study Chinese, so now I don't think it's too hard. Do you like listening to music? Next Saturday, our school is having a concert. I hope you can come. I do not write well in Chinese, don't laugh at me. Wishing you well. Your friend, LiYou. November 18th

Answer 418

Miss, what clothes are you wanting to buy? I want to buy a shirt. What color do you like to wear, yellow or red? I like to wear red. I also want to buy a pair of pants. What side? Big, medium, or small? Medium. I don't want anything too expensive or too cheap. How is this pair of pants? The color is good. If the length is good, I will buy them. Do you want to try them on? No need. It's fine. How about this shirt? No thanks. How much is it all together? The shirt is 21.50, and the pants are 32.99。 Altogether it is 55.49. Okay. Here is a 100. Your change is 45.51. Thank you.

Answer 419

Sorry, this pair of shoes is too small. Can I exchange them? No problem. Look here, how about this pair? These aren't good either, this pair and that pair are the same size. How about that black pair then? Although this pairs size is good, I don't like the color. Do they come in brown? Sorry, this style only comes in black. This pair's style is quite good, I'll just go for these. Do you take credit card? Sorry, we do not accept credit cards here. However, this pair and that pair are the same price. You do not have to pay again.

Answer 420

LiYou, are you going home for winter break? Yes, I have to go home. Have you bought your plane ticket yet? I already bought it. It's for the 21st. What time is it for? It's at 8pm. How are you getting to the airport? I want to take either the public pus or the subway. Do you know how to get to the airport? You need to take bus line #1, after three stops, get off and switch to the subway. Ride the red line, then transfer to the green line, then finally transfer to the blue line. Oh no, oh no, that's too troublesome. I might as well take a taxi. Taxi's are too expensive, just let me give you a ride there. Thank you. No worries.

Answer 421

An email: December 20th, 2008 Wang Peng: Thank you for driving me to the airport that day. However, when you spend that much time on me, it makes me embarrassed. These days, I've been going to see my old friends daily. This city's residents drive especially fast. When I drive on the interstate, it makes me a little nervous. However, this city has no public bus and no subway either. I can only drive myself; it is not convenient. If you have time, give me phone call or text. I want to chat with you. The new year is approaching quickly. Happy new year! LiYou
