今天我们去快照亭,好吗?你喜欢拍照片吗?选择背景,摆姿势,然后笑一笑!拍完照,你会怎么说?你会说:‘照片很好看!’ 或是 ‘我们再拍一次!’ 在这集里,你会学到如何在照相亭里轻松交流。

周末了,今天天气很好。我想做一些特别的事情。我走在街上,看到一个快照亭。嗯,拍照片!这个主意很好。我走进快照亭,里面很小。屏幕亮了,它问我:‘你想拍几张照片?’ 我看到了四个选项。第一个是拍四张,第二个是六张。我选择了四张。然后它问我:‘你想要什么背景?’ 有红色、蓝色和白色。我选了蓝色。机器说:‘请看镜头,笑一笑!’ 我准备好了,心里有点紧张,但也很开心。它开始倒计时...

Let's take a moment to look at some of the helpful words and phrases we just heard in our story.

  • 快照亭 — photo booth, 我看到一个快照亭。
  • 拍照片 — to take photos, 我喜欢拍照片。
  • 屏幕 — screen, 屏幕亮了。
  • 背景 — background, 我选了蓝色背景。
  • 看镜头 — look at the camera, 请看镜头,笑一笑。
  • 笑一笑 — smile, 她笑一笑,很可爱。, 现在,我们回到快照亭,看看接下来发生了什么!

三,二,一,咔嚓!第一张照片拍好了。我很快换了姿势,继续拍。有时候我做鬼脸,有时候我摆酷。拍第四张的时候,机器突然停了。屏幕上出现了一行字:‘请支付。’ 哦,我忘了付钱!在中国,很多小店和机器都用手机支付,比如微信支付或支付宝。我扫了二维码,付了十块钱。机器又动了,打印出我的照片。我拿起照片,它们小小的,但是很有趣。我看着照片,想:‘今天真是一个开心的下午!’

现在,让我们一起练习一些今天的句子吧!
