你喜欢手工品吗?在一个小店里,你看到一个非常漂亮的东西。你想买它。你会怎么问价格呢?今天,你将学会如何在中国的手工店里轻松购物。我们可以一起去看看!

今天天气很好,我很高兴。我走在一个小巷子里,看到了一个手工店。这个店很小,但是里面有很多漂亮的东西。我走进去,说:“您好!” 店主阿姨笑着说:“你好!” 我看到一个木头做的猫。它很可爱,眼睛很大。猫的颜色是黄色的。我想买这个猫。我不知道它多少钱。店里还有很多别的工艺品,有花,有小盒子,还有一些小灯笼。它们都很好看。我的眼睛看到了一个小小的蓝色花瓶。它很特别。我想问问阿姨这个花瓶怎么样,还有它的价格。

Let's take a moment to look at some key phrases and words from our story:

  • 手工店 — Craft shop, 我去手工店买东西。
  • 漂亮 — Beautiful, 这个花瓶很漂亮。
  • 您好 — Hello (polite), 您好,请问这个多少钱?
  • 多少钱 — How much money, 这个猫多少钱?
  • 可爱 — Cute, 这只猫很可爱。
  • 想买 — Want to buy, 我想买那个花瓶。, 现在,我们继续听故事吧!

我指着蓝色花瓶,问阿姨:“阿姨,这个花瓶怎么样?它很特别!” 阿姨拿起花瓶,说:“这个花瓶是手工做的,非常好。它不贵。” 我问:“多少钱?” 阿姨说:“三十块。” 我觉得三十块钱很便宜。在中国,人们喜欢买手工礼物送给朋友。我觉得这个花瓶是很好的礼物。我也喜欢猫。我问:“那只猫呢?多少钱?” 阿姨说:“那只猫二十五块。” 我决定买那个蓝色花瓶。我说:“好的,我要这个花瓶。谢谢您!” 阿姨笑着说:“不客气!” 我拿着花瓶,心里很高兴。今天真是美好的一天。

现在,让我们一起练习一些今天的句子。

  • 我很高兴。— I am very happy.

  • 这个花瓶很漂亮。— This vase is very beautiful.
  • 这个猫很可爱。— This cat is very cute.
