今天,我们要去一个特别的地方。你准备好了吗?你感觉身体好吗?可以帮助别人吗?献血,对很多人来说很重要。献血中心,你会说什么?你会怎么做?听完这一集,你就会知道如何在中国献血,并且可以说很多有用的句子。

早上好!今天我有点紧张,但是也很开心。我要去献血中心。我很早起床,吃了早饭,喝了水。我去了医院旁边的献血中心。门开了,我看到了一个友好的护士。她对我说:‘你好!’ 我说:‘你好,我来献血。’ 她给了我一张表格。表格上有很多问题。我拿了笔,开始写我的名字和电话号码。我觉得有一点点头晕,但是没关系。我想,帮助别人很重要。我填写完表格,护士带我去了检查室。

Let's take a moment to look at some key vocabulary from that first part of our story.

  • 紧张 (jǐnzhāng) — nervous, worried. Example: 我有点紧张。(Wǒ yǒudiǎn jǐnzhāng.)
  • 献血中心 (xiànxuè zhōngxīn) — blood donation center. Example: 我要去献血中心。(Wǒ yào qù xiànxuè zhōngxīn.)
  • 护士 (hùshi) — nurse. Example: 友好的护士。(Yǒuhǎo de hùshi.)
  • 表格 (biǎogé) — form. Example: 她给了我一张表格。(Tā gěi le wǒ yī zhāng biǎogé.)
  • 电话号码 (diànhuà hàomǎ) — phone number. Example: 我的电话号码是…(Wǒ de diànhuà hàomǎ shì…)
  • 头晕 (tóuyūn) — dizzy. Example: 我有一点点头晕。(Wǒ yǒu yīdiǎndiǎn tóuyūn.), 现在,我们回到献血中心,看看接下来发生了什么。

检查室里,医生问我:‘你身体好吗?’ 我说:‘我很好,谢谢。’ 医生量了我的血压,还问了我的睡眠。在中国,医生通常会问很多关于生活习惯的问题。我的血压很好,医生说我可以献血。我躺在椅子上,护士很小心地给我准备。她说:‘不要怕,很快就好了。’ 我看着窗外,心里想:这是做好事。十五分钟后,护士说:‘好了,你很棒!’ 我坐起来,感觉很轻松。我喝了一杯果汁,拿了小礼物。今天,我帮助了别人,感觉很幸福。

现在,我们一起练习这些句子吧!
