早上好!面包店里香气扑鼻。你想吃什么?甜的?咸的?今天,我们将学习如何在面包店里点餐。你可以自信地说出你想买的东西,比如“我要一个蛋挞”。你准备好了吗?

早上好!我今天很早起床。我想吃面包。我走进一家面包店。哇,这里有很多东西!有大面包,小面包,还有甜的蛋糕。一个阿姨对我说:“你好,你想买什么?” 我看到柜台里有热腾腾的包子,还有金黄色的蛋挞。嗯,我喜欢吃甜的。可是,我也喜欢吃咸的。我应该买什么呢?我有点饿了。

Let's pause our story for a moment to look at some useful phrases from what we just heard.

  • 早上好 — Good morning, 早上好!你今天好吗?
  • 面包店 — bakery, 我要去面包店。
  • 想买 — want to buy, 你想买什么?
  • 很多 — many, 这里有很多面包。
  • 蛋挞 — egg tart, 我喜欢吃蛋挞。
  • 包子 — steamed bun, 那个包子很好吃。, 很好!现在,我们回到面包店,看看我最后买了什么。

我看着那些蛋挞,决定了!“你好,我要一个蛋挞。” 我对阿姨说。她笑着问:“还要别的吗?” 我想了想,说:“不要了,谢谢。” 阿姨说:“一个蛋挞,五块钱。” 在中国,很多人用手机支付。我拿出手机,用支付宝付了钱。她把蛋挞给我。我拿着热乎乎的蛋挞,走出面包店。阳光真好。我咬了一口蛋挞,哇,真好吃!今天的早餐真棒。

现在,我们来一起练习一些句子。请跟着我说。

  • 早上好! — Good morning!
  • 我想吃面包。 — I want to eat bread.
  • 你想买什么? — What do you want to buy?
  • 我要一个蛋挞。 — I want an egg tart.
