你喜欢写字吗？你需要一支笔、一个本子吗？我们今天去文具店！学习怎么买你想买的东西，怎么问价格。你会说“我要这个”和“多少钱”。今天，我们一起学在商店里怎么说！
今天天气很好，我要出门。我需要买一些东西。我想，‘嗯，我没有笔了。我的本子也用完了。’所以，我决定去文具店。文具店离我家不远，走五分钟就到了。我走进店里，里面有很多东西。有各种颜色的笔，有大大小小的本子。我很喜欢文具店，因为这里总是很安静。我看到了很多学生在看笔。我想买一支黑色的笔和一个小的本子。我在想，哪个好呢？
That was a nice start to our story! Let's pause for a moment and look at some useful words and phrases you just heard, perfect for your A1 Mandarin journey.
- 笔 (bǐ) — pen, 这是一支笔。
- 本子 (běnzi) — notebook, 我买一个本子。
- 文具店 (wénjùdiàn) — stationery shop, 我去文具店。
- 很多 (hěnduō) — many/a lot of, 这里有很多笔。

我看着不同的笔，它们都很好看。我拿起一支黑色的笔，它写起来很顺滑。然后，我看到一个小本子，它的大小正好合适。我决定就买这两个。我走到收银台。店员问：“你需要袋子吗？”我摇摇头说：“不用，谢谢。”我把笔和本子递给她。她拿过东西，用一个小的机器扫了一下。她告诉我：“一共二十五块钱。” 我用手机支付。在中国，很多人都用手机支付，很方便。我拿到我的新笔和本子，心里很高兴。今天买到了我需要的东西！
