I.阅读理解
When I came to China,my supply of Chinese friends who were willing to hear me talk about
school(one of the few topics I could hold more than a two-minute conversation about)was fairly
limited.So how did I practise my spoken Chinese?
In my effort to be a good student,I decided to talk to every single taxi driver in Beijing.Taxi
drivers were easy targets.They couldn't tell me to shut up and they had nowhere to hide from
my horrible grammar.
To my surprise,taxi drivers became my favorite Chinese teachers because most of the time
they were happy to talk to me about anything.Also,their most loved topics of conversation ten-
ded to fall into three simple categories ()food,their hometown,and the foreigners'coun-
tries.My ability to reach this level of conversational skill has been made possible by one ques-
tion-"Are you a Beijinger?"and taxi drivers loved talking about their hometown.
I found that 15 minutes with a Beijing taxi driver was worth one hour with my Chinese tutor
because they couldn't speak English so there's no second language to fall back on when things

got too tough.It's just me and my Chinese skills that would help.I was constantly surprised by
how much I understood in comparison to my Chinese language level.And even if they kept talk-
ing for the whole trip,at least I was honing my listening skills.Over time,I found I could under-
stand more and more,and was able to respond surprisingly quickly.
Another trick:If I wanted to impress,I would add an extra "r"to end my words.It always
seemed to cheer them up,and usually I would get an encouraging "Your Beijing dialect is so
good!”
