Steven:Hello,
my name is Xiao Yanhui. My English name is Steven. I’m in Hebei University
of Economics and Business. I’m from the Foreign Language Department.
My major is English. My second major is Human Resource
Management. Now let me introduce my friends, Peter and Andy. This is Peter.
He’s from Australia, and this is Andy. She’s from America. Ok, ah do you
have something to do?
Peter:
Yes, I have a problem, Steven. I’ve lost my
bankbook. And I need to go to the bank and get a new bankbook. So what do I
need to do? The lady doesn’t speak English very much. I need you to help me
to…
Steven:
No problem.
Peter:
Are you free tomorrow?
Steven:
Yes, I’m free. And one thing, you need to take
your passport and a copy, and give them the copy of the passport. They will
keep it. After seven days, if you show the passport, they will give you a
new bankbook.
Peter:
I really appreciate your help. It’s good. I’ll
feel very uncomfortable if I go there by myself.
Steven:
It’s ok. It’s my obligation and my work. I’m glad to help you.
Peter:
Will you come to watch our performance? Tai-chi
performance?
Steven:
Yah. What about, what about you?
Andy I’m going to watch that. Will you go in the performance?
Steven:No,
that’s just for teachers.
Andy Oh.
Steven:
Sometimes I help him to practice Tai chi.
Peter He makes me do it again and again. Ha…
Steven:
He’s not…, he studies very hard, but he is a
foreigner. It (tai-chi) has a little Chinese culture, so it’s difficult for
foreigners. He works hard. He’s a good student.
Peter:
Oh thank you. But I can’t do the jade lady work
for shuttle in four directions. I’m often confused.
Steven:
How about you? You practice tai-chi everyday?
Andy:
No, not every day. And I’m often confused with
that. Is that go backward or turn?
Steven:
The first, you should remember the directions of the jade lady. The first is
northwest. Then southwest, southeast and northwest. That’s around. You turn
around here, here and here.
Peter:
My hands often get in stuck. Now you talked
about the directions and that helps. I know what I’m going to. But I am not
sure which of my hand go upward. Some times it’s left hand, some times the
other.
Steven:
You just remember, the first, you should do
this. And this the down hand, which is behind the right hand, goes up. then
the right hand goes down and turns, upward. See? This is more difficult.
Then do this, this.
Peter:
Oh that’s what I should do. The left hand.
What’s my left hand? The other way?
Steven:
I think that’s Chinese philosophy. You just
change it each other. Down hand. Go up. Down hand. Go up.
Peter:
Ye, that are difficult, And English direct
hand.
Steven:
Just up and down. You needn’t to think much
about that. Just remember this point. I think it’s ok. Would you go to
tai-chi everyday?
Andy:
No, I’ve got to teach today.
Steven:
How about you?
Peter
I go in the morning. But I didn’t do this morning.
Steven:
Oh…,what did you do?
Peter
I got up at 7 o’clock. But we will go there at 11 o’clock.
Steven:
Ooh. How about last night, the party? Is it
good?
Peter:That
was good party. Thank you for your present. Thank you for your present.
Andy :See!
This is the peanut, which is left.
Peter: Ooh, that’s a good party.
Good, ages, teenagers, and foreign teachers, Chinese teachers, Chinese
students, it’s really good…(Du…, du…)
Steven:
Oh, wait, wait. What’s that? I don’t know. And
continue, continue. Ye. What’s that?
Andy:
Ooh!
Steven:
That’s just rubbish.
Peter:
That’s ok. That’s just mobile phone.
Steven:
Shit. I should throw it. Ok, I just delete it.
Peter:
Ok, stop here. Did you use the English “shit”. Ha…,ha…
Andy: Ha…,ha…
Steven:
Ha…,ha….Ok! That’s right!
