Last Sunday my classmate, Lin Hao and I went to a bookstore. At a counter we noticed that a foreigner was asking a clerk for help, but the clerk didn't understand what the foreigner said. So we went up to him and offered help. After knowing what he really wanted, we took him to the counter where tapes and discs of Chinese folk music are sold and gave him some advice on what to choose. With our help, the foreign guest got some music tapes. He gave his hearty thanks to us and left. Though it took us some time to help him, we were happy anyway.

　　上星期天，我和我的同学林昊去了书店。在柜台，我们注意到一个外国人正在向一个店员寻 求帮助，可是这个店员不懂他说的话。所以我们走上前，提供帮助。搞清楚了他真正想要的，我们把他带到卖中国民乐磁带和光盘的柜台，并 对于挑选什么给了他一些建议。在我们的帮助下，这位外国友人挑了一些音乐磁带。他向我们表示衷心的感谢后离去。 尽管帮助他占去了 我们一些时间，我们还是很高兴。
