Why a lot of people like to buy books in the book store？ The story is suit for the listeners whose level is HSK1 or above.
书店里有什么？
学校里有一个书店，去那儿买书的人很多。这个书店能卖很多书，我想那儿的书很便宜。有一天，我去那儿买书，我问书店老板：“你的书能便宜一点儿吗”？老板说：“不能，一本书50块钱。”
书不便宜，为什么很多人买书呢？
我每天去书店看书，一个星期以后，我知道为什么了。书店里有桌子和椅子，桌子上有水、茶、咖啡，很多人坐在椅子上看书、喝茶。你能买喜欢的书，不买也没关系。
我现在也喜欢在那个书店买书了。

What's in the bookstore？

I'm a terrible driver . The first time I took my driving test , I forgot to fasten my seat belt, so I failed.
The second time , I didn't signal when I was turning left and I failed again. 
When I finally passed and got my driving license, a police officer stopped me for speeding. 
A few weeks later , I went through a red light and hit another car .
Luckily the other car wasn't damaged , but I had to pay 350 dollars on my insurance to get my car fixed and then I ended up getting a fine for driving through the red light.

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE EL ABUELO TOMAS.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Tienes una familia grande o pequeña?

2. ¿Que tipo de actividades haces con tu familia?


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.

Mi abuelo Tomás tiene ochenta años y vive con nosotros. Tiene buena salud, aunque a veces dice que le duele una pierna, pero camina ágilmente cuando le llaman sus amigos para jugar a las cartas después de comer.

Todos los domingos me lleva a ver el futbol y después me compra un helado.

En vacaciones siempre viene con nosotros y le gusta mucho ir a la playa. A veces discute con mi padre cuando quiere ir a la montaña. Al final siempre se sale con la suya y mi padre acaba cediendo. Para compensarle siempre nos invita el primer día de vacaciones a un buen restaurante.

Quiero mucho a mi abuelo.
