Susan is from the US. She teaches English in China now. She likes Chinese but she only knows a little Chinese. She isn’t free from Monday to Friday. So she often goes shopping on Saturdays.
Today is Saturday. Susan walks to a shop. “What can I do for you?” the girl in the shop asks her in Chinese. Susan thinks she can tell the girl what she wants in Chinese. So she says in Chinese that she wants a quilt. Then the girl goes to the back of the shop. “My Chinese is not bad. The girl can understand me,” she thinks. Susan is happy. Soon the girl comes back. She gives Susan a cup.
