I have an American friend, Cathy. Now she is in Hangzhou, China with her parents. She speaks English very well, but she needs help in Chinese. She is now trying to learn and speak it. She often tries to speak Chinese with us, but she still can’t speak it well, so we don’t understand her sometimes.

It’s Saturday afternoon. Cathy wants to see pandas and monkeys in the zoo, but she doesn’t know how to get there. She stops a man and a woman and asks them the way. They don’t know what she says. Cathy looks worried. Then she meets a school boy, but the boy can’t understand her, either. Then she takes out a pen and some paper from her bag and draws a panda on the paper. She shows the picture to the boy. The boy looks at it, smiles and then tells her the way to the zoo.
