Wang Jing hurt her hand when she was making dumplings.

Wang Jing: That's all right. I want to make some mutton dumplings for you. I just cut my hand when I cut the meat with my knife.
Li Jin: You are too careless, but it doesn't seem too serious. It will be all right in a few days. There's a little blood on your clothes, too. Take them off and I'll wash them for you.
Wang Jing: It seems we can't have mutton dumplings today.
Li Jin: Then let's have something else. There is a restaurant near the barbershop where I often go. The steamed buns there are very delicious. I'll buy some later.
Wang Jing: Well, I have ten yuan change in my pocket. It should be enough to buy the steamed stuffed bun.

安娜帮助马克练习舞蹈动作
马克:我早上跟你打招呼,你没看见。想不到又在这儿碰见你了.
安娜:真是对不起,我不是故意的,今天早上我忘戴眼镜了,看不清楚。
马克:刚才我在旁边看到你跳中国舞了,没看出来你跳得这么好!难道你以前在你们国家就学过中国舞蹈吗?
安娜:我小时候妈妈教我跳过两年的舞,所以稍微有点儿基础。再说,舞蹈不仅是一门艺术,也是一种“语言”,这种语言与国籍无关,无论哪个国家的人都能看懂.
马克:太好了!我刚学习跳这种舞没多久,你帮我看看,我的这个动作对不对。
安娜:你这个动作做得还是不太标准,我给你跳一遍。你仔细看着,应该像我这样:先抬胳膊,然后抬腿,最后头再向右转一下。

Anna helped Mark with his dance moves
Mark: I greeted you, "I said hi to you", this morning. You didn't see me. Unexpectedly, I met you here again.
Anna: I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to. I forgot my glasses this morning and couldn't see clearly.
Mark: I saw you dancing the Chinese dance nearby just now. I didn't realize you were such a good dancer! Did you learn Chinese dance in your country before?
Anna: My mother taught me to dance for two years when I was a kid, so it was a little bit basic. Besides, dance is not only an art, but also a "language", which has nothing to do with nationality and can be understood by people of any nationality.
Mark: Great! I just learned to dance this dance not long ago, you help me to see if this movement is correct.
Anna: That's still not quite standard. I'll dance it for you. If you look attentively, you should be like me: first your arms, then your legs, and finally your head to the right.

马克去年租的房子离马路很近,对面有大大小小的商店,周围环境非常吵。所以,房子还没到期,马克就开始着急换房子了。有一天,他在小区门口看到一个租房子的广告。广告上说房子交通方便,周围很安静,厨房很大。总的来说,这套房子他很满意,于是他就记下了房东的手机号码。可回家后打电话,电话总是占线,第二天他路过 小区门口时,又仔细看了一下广告,原来在记号码的时候写错了一个数字。

The house, Mark rented last year is very close to the road. There are big and small shops on the opposite side. The surrounding environment is very noisy.
So, before the house was due, mark was in a hurry to change his house. One day, he saw an advertisement for renting a house at the gate of the community.
The advertisement says that the house is easily accessible, the surroundings are quiet, and the kitchen is large.
Generally speaking, he was very satisfied with the house, so he wrote down the landlord's mobile phone number.
But when he went home and called, the line was always busy. The next day, when he passed the gate of the community, he looked at the advertisement carefully and found that he had written one numeral wrong, while recording the number.

很多外国人认为所有中国人都会功夫和乒乓球,其实只是喜爱这两种运动的中国人比较多。中国人特别喜欢打乒乓球,在中国你会发现到处都有乒乓球桌。像乒乓球、羽毛球、跑步等运动对条件要求不高,所以它们都成为人们运动不错的选择。人们常说“生命在于运动”,所以很多人一到周末就会到体育馆打几场球。“乒乓球”这个名字也很有意思,“乒”和“乓”就是打球时发出的声音。在看乒乓球比赛时,尤其是在运动员发球的时候,观众要安静,禁止大声讲话或者离开座位随便走动

Many foreigners think that all Chinese can know Kung Fu and table tennis. In fact, most of the Chinese people love these two sports. Chinese people like to play table tennis, and you will find table tennis tables everywhere in China. Sports like table tennis, badminton, and running do not require high requirements, so they all become good choices for people to exercise. People often say that "life lies in sports", so many people go to the gym to play a few games on weekends. The name "ping pong" is also very interesting. "Ping" and "pong" are the sounds made when playing a ball. When watching a table tennis match, especially when the athletes serve, the audience should be quiet, and it is forbidden to speak loudly or walk around without leaving their seats.
