On Sunday, my good friend Bai Xue and I went to a restaurant for lunch. This restaurant is very special which has Chinese food and American food. The waiter gave us two glasses of water, and she asked what we needed. 
I ordered rice and two dishes, and Bai Xue ordered a hamburger and French fries. I asked Bai Xue, do you think American food or Chinese food is better? She said, I like them all!
After lunch, we went to have fruit tea, which was delicious and cheap. We feel so happy!

Portuguese/English false friends (5)

In this episode we are going to learn 【Shopping 】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
