早上好!今天我有一个问题。我的自行车坏了,车胎完全没气了。我不能骑它去工作。我需要去一个自行车店修理。我推着自行车走路。商店离我家不远,大概走五分钟就到了。我看到商店的门开着,里面有一个工作人员正在忙碌。我小心地走进去,然后对他说:‘你好!我的自行车有问题,可以请你帮我修理吗?’

Let's pause the story for a moment to look at some key phrases from that first part.

店员看着我的自行车,检查了车胎。他说:‘你的车胎破了,需要换新的。链条也有一点松。’ 我问:‘修理大概多少钱?’ 他回答:‘车胎和修理费一共七十块。今天可以修好。’ 我想:‘七十块可以接受。’ 我说:‘好的,请帮我修理。’ 他告诉我:‘大概一个小时就好了。’ 我说:‘谢谢!’ 我决定去咖啡店等。我的自行车很快就会好起来,真好!
