Mary is an American school girl. She is now in Beijing with her parents. Mary doesn’t know Chinese. But she is trying to learn and speak it. She often tries to speak Chinese to her Chinese friends. Sometimes they can’t understand her because she can’t speak Chinese very well. It’s Sunday morning, she goes out. She is walking along the street. She is going to the zoo to see the elephants and monkeys, but she doesn’t know how to get there. She stops a Chinese schoolboy and asks him the way. The boy can’t understand her. She looks worried. Then she finds a way to express what she wants to say. She takes out a pen and some paper. She draws an elephant on it and shows the picture to the boy. The boy has a careful look at the picture, reads it and smiles and then he shows Mary the way to the zoo.

A train stops at a station. Many people come out to buy food and fruits. A young man wants to come out, but it starts to rain. A boy stands under an umbrella（雨伞）. The young man says to the boy.

“Can you go and get us two hamburgers, one for you and one for me? Here are two dollars. Be quick!”

“Great!” says the boy and then he goes to buy hamburgers.   

After some time, the boy is back. He eats a hamburger.

“Where is my hamburger?” asks the young man.

“Oh, there is only one hamburger left. So I eat my hamburger. Here is your dollar.”
