你需要办理一份重要的文件吗?你去了公证处,但是不知道说什么?你觉得有点紧张吗?别担心。听完这期节目,你就能自信地表达“我需要帮助”,并理解简单的指示。

早上好!我今天要去一个地方。这个地方叫公证处。我需要办理一份文件。我拿着我的文件,走进公证处。里面有很多人。我看到一个服务台,那里有一个工作人员。我走到服务台前。她看着我,问道:“你好,请问您有什么事?” 我有点紧张,但是我知道我需要帮助。我看着她,说:“你好,我需要帮忙。” 我把文件递给她看。她接过文件,开始仔细地看。

Let's pause our story for a moment and look at some useful words and phrases you just heard.

  • 公证处 — notary office, 这是公证处。
  • 办理 — to handle/process, 我需要办理文件。
  • 文件 — document, 这是一份重要的文件。
  • 帮忙 — to help, 我可以帮忙吗?
  • 递给 — to hand over, 他把文件递给我。
  • 仔细地 — carefully, 她仔细地看文件。, 现在,我们回到故事中。

工作人员看完了我的文件。她说:“好的,请您在这里签字。” 她指了指文件上的一个地方。我拿笔,在文件上签了字。然后,她又说:“请您在这里等一下,很快就好。” 我坐在旁边的椅子上,等了几分钟。我注意到,在中国,人们在公共场合办事通常都很有效率。不一会儿,她叫我的名字:“好了,您的文件。” 她把文件还给我,说:“请拿好。” 我站起来,接过文件,说:“谢谢您!再见!” 我离开了公证处,心里很高兴。事情办得很顺利。

现在,让我们练习一些实用的句子。
