A story to share with you: (point it out in highlight if I made any mistakes ,thank you)
Last Saturday, I went into the metro and take a underground train after my job as a tutor. Then I found a couple foreigners stand next to me.
The old man try to take a picture for a Chinese old man and 2 women who were sitting on the sites. And the Chinese old man told the couple he is 80 years old by the gesture.
So I translated it to the couple. The old foreigner seemed to be very kind and friendly. But the Chinese old man and women got off the train when the train arrived at the next stop.
So sat next to the couple, then I tried to talk to them. So they were going to The Silk Market which have all kinds of things and foreigners like it very much, but I had no idea about the market till he showed me the map and told me where they were going to.
But I found them took a wrong (way train/direction), so I told them took off the train at the next stop and took a opposite direction train. the simple food local cheese accompanied by bread often 12 months old.
Then they went off the train.I stay in the train and went back home. Suddenly, an idea came into my mind:why shouldn’t I go with them and show them around. And I can practice my oral English too.
So I went off(is there any words can replace the “go off” ) the train and took a train on the other direction to catch them. Fortunately, when I got to the station they happened to go on the train I was taking.
Because when they went off the train they didn’t catch another train immediately. They are little doubt about what I told them, so they ask someone else. And then I told them my intention, they were very pleased
to let me join their journey.
They told me that they came from MIAMI ,America; and the lady is a professor in a international school. They just stayed in Beijing for 2 days.
And something amazing happened, we had the famous food Peking duck for the dinner on the Sunday , when we finished our dinner we got a receipt. You know, people do not accustom to ask for the receipt. The shops and restaurants
are benefited from this habit. So the government figure out a method to solve this problem to avoid the retailers evading the tax . They made a reward printed in the receipt, so if the buyer asked for the receipt they would won the prize. But the possibility is very low. My friends received a lot of receipts because his work ,but he just won 2 RMB after ten thousand times he tried.
As I had never won the reward
