星期五下午,下班前,新同事问我:“你周末打算做什么?”我说:“我打算去公园散步,还要去超市买东西。”她说:“我也想去公园,我们一起去吧!”我笑着说:“好啊,周六见!”

Xīng qī wǔ xià wǔ, xià bān qián, xīn tóng shì wèn wǒ: “Nǐ zhōu mò dǎ suàn zuò shén me?”Wǒ shuō: “Wǒ dǎ suàn qù gōng yuán sàn bù, hái yào qù chāo shì mǎi dōng xi.”Tā shuō: “Wǒ yě xiǎng qù gōng yuán, wǒ men yì qǐ qù ba!”Wǒ xiào zhe shuō: “Hǎo a, zhōu liù jiàn!”
