I've bought all of the books Mandarin Companion have released. They are wonderful for extensive reading practice.

在加拿大。我也觉得很奇怪。在通常情况下加拿大的警察很严格。但是这不是在大城市发生,是在农村发生。

一次因为没钱我拦车了。一个好心人停车帮我回家。问题是他非常喝醉了。开车得时候,我们被警察拦住了。警察把司机拿出来。几分钟以后,我离开那辆车。警察很生气得大叫“回来了!”。 我很害怕,马上回来了。警察说我跟那个喝醉的人在一起,不可以走。我在车里等半个小时左右。突然司机回来了。她说警察好好教育他,但是我们可以走。

没想到警察让喝醉的人继续开车!

I read 秘密花园 when it was released a few weeks back, and I'm now halfway through 六十年的梦. These readers are fantastic. Here at CHPod, I spend most of my time studying intermediate/upper-intermediate lessons. With all lessons here, I feel like I am studying. I have to focus on key vocabulary, drill myself, and read and re-read passages. With the level 1 companion readers, I often forget I am reading in Chinese and just get into the story. The Mandarin dissapears and I just enjoy the story. It's a fantastic feeling and has helped reinforce a sense of accomplishment in my Chinese studies, all while engaging in a "study" session much longer than I would with more complex or pedagogic lessons.

我觉得中国不是自行车王国。我在中国的时候看到很多车子。中国也有很多出租车,但是路上没有很多人骑自行车。在加拿大我每天都骑自行车去上班。中国的路上太危险把!

在中国和台湾,很多洗手间没有肥皂或者洗手液。我工作的学校也没有。怎么办,需要自己拿来。
