bù yòng xiè
To need is 需要 (xū yào) in Chinese. In speaking Chinese, we usually say "要 (yào)" in short.

Do you remember how to say "fruit" in Chinese? "水果 (shuǐ guǒ)"
"能 (néng)" means "can" or to be able to.
Question:
By this dialog, what did Sarah ask Amy to do?
To wash some fruits. Since Sarah said, "你能帮我洗一些水果吗？ (nǐ néng bāng wǒ xǐ yī
xiē shuǐ guǒ ma)", which means "Can you help me wash some fruits?"
One more question,
Why Sarah did not wash fruits by herself?
Because she was busy in cutting some watermelon.
"忙 (máng)" means "busy". To cut is "切 (qiē)" and "watermelon" is "西瓜 (xī guā)" in
Chinese.
Do you remember what "想 (xiǎng)" means?
It means to want.
So "你想让我洗什么水果？ (nǐ xiǎng ràng wǒ xǐ shén me shuǐ guǒ)" means "What

types of fruits do you want me to wash?"
Question,

Amy to wash three apples and five peaches.
Since Sarah said, "你能帮我洗三个苹果和五个桃子吗？ (nǐ néng bāng wǒ xǐ sān gè

píng guǒ hé wǔ gè táo zi ma)", which means "Can you help me wash three apples and five
peaches?"
We have learned that "个 (gè)" is a unit word showing quantity. Here, we use "个 (gè)" to
show how many apples and peaches.
"Three apples", 三个苹果 (sān gè píng guǒ)
"Five peaches", 五个桃子 (wǔ gè táo zi)
"问题 (wèn tí)" means "problem". "没问题。 (méi wèn tí)" means "No problem."
Last question,
By this dialog how Sarah praised Amy?
Sara said, "你真是一个好帮手。 (nǐ zhēn shì yī gè hǎo bāng shǒu)", which means "You
are a really good helper."
"手 (shǒu)" means hand. "Helper" is "帮手 (bāng shǒu)" in Chinese.
Again "个 (gè)" is a unit word showing quantity. "一个好帮手 (yī gè hǎo bāng shǒu)"
means "a good helper".
Amy Do you need help?

你要帮忙吗？
Sarah Can you help me wash some fruits?

bù yòng xiè
To want is 想 (xiǎng). To go is "去 (qù)" in Chinese.
Do you remember what "小学 (xiǎo xué)" means?
It means elementary school.
Question,
By this dialog, where Sarah wants to go?
She wants to go to Lincoln elementary school. Sarah said, "我想去林肯小学。 (wǒ xiǎng qù
lín kěn xiǎo xué)".
One more question,
Does Sarah know how to get to Lincoln elementary school?
No. Sarah asks a question, which is "你知道我应该去哪个方向？ (nǐ zhī dào wǒ yīng
gāi qù nǎ gè fāng xiàng)". "Do you know which direction should I go?"
"知道 (zhī dào)" means to know. "应该 (yīng gāi)" means should.
"Which" is "哪个 (nǎ gè)" in Chinese. So "哪个方向 (nǎ gè fāng xiàng)" means "which
direction".
One more question,
By this dialog, which direction does Amy tell Sarah to go?
Go straight north, turn right at the traffic light. Amy said, "向北直着走，到信号灯向右拐。
(xiàng běi zhí zhe zǒu dào xìn hào dēng xiàng yòu guǎi)".
To walk is "走 (zǒu)". To turn is "拐 (guǎi)" in Chinese.
"北 (běi)" means north. "向北 (xiàng běi)" means "towards north". "直 (zhí)" means
"straight".
"Traffic light" is "信号灯 (xìn hào dēng)" in Chinese. "信号 (xìn hào)" means signal. "灯
(dēng)" means light.
"向右拐 (xiàng yòu guǎi)" means "to turn right".
How to say to turn left in Chinese?
"向左拐 (xiàng zuǒ guǎi)".
How about "to turn south"?
"向南拐 (xiàng nán guǎi)".
Last question,
Is Lincoln elementary school at left side or right side of the road?
Amy said, "林肯小学在路的左边。 (lín kěn xiǎo xué zài lù de zuǒ biān), which means
"Lincoln elementary school is at left side of the road".
"路 (lù)" means "road". "边 (biān)" means side.
"At" is "在 (zài)", so "在路的左边 (zài lù de zuǒ biān)" means "at left side of the road".
"在路的右边 (zài lù de yòu biān)" means "at right side of the road".
Sarah I want to go to Lincoln elementary school.

Lesson 132: Birthday Cake
"Birthday Cake".
Lecture
Do you remember how to say "birthday" in Chinese? We learned about it in previous lessons.
"Birthday" in Chinese is "生日 (shēng rì)".
We also learned how to say "Birthday Party" and "Birthday Presents" in previous lessons.
"Birthday Party" in Chinese is "生日聚会 (shēng rì jù huì)". "Birthday Presents" in Chinese
is "生日礼物 (shēng rì lǐ wù)".
"Cake" is "蛋糕 (dàn gāo)" in Chinese. So "Birthday Cake" is "生日蛋糕 (shēng rì dàn gāo)
".
Let’s learn some Chinese words and phrases related to birthday cake.
Cream cake, 奶油蛋糕 (nǎi yóu dàn gāo)
Chocolate cake, 巧克力蛋糕 (qiǎo kè lì dàn gāo)
Candle, 蜡烛 (là zhú)
Dialog

nǐ xǐ huan shén me shēng rì dàn gāo

你的生日蛋糕上会插几根蜡烛？
nǐ de shēng rì dàn gāo shàng huì chā jī gēn là zhú
Amy 八根。
bā gēn
因为今年我要八岁了。
yīn wèi jīn nián wǒ yào bā suì le
By this dialog, what's Sarah's favorite cake? Is it cream cake? No, it's "chocolate cake". Since
Sarah said, "我最喜欢巧克力蛋糕。 (wǒ zuì xǐ huan qiǎo kè lì dàn gāo)"
How to say ""favorite cake" in Chinese?
"喜欢 (xǐ huan)" means to like. "最 (zuì)" means the most. So "favorite cake" in Chinese is "
最喜欢的蛋糕 (zuì xǐ huan de dàn gāo)".
"根 (gēn)" is a unit word showing quantity of candles.
Question,
How many candles will be on Amy's birthday cake?
Eight candles. Amy said, "八根。 (bā gēn)"
Why?
Amy said, "因为今年我要八岁了 (yīn wèi jīn nián wǒ yào bā suì le)".
"因为 (yīn wèi)"means "because". "八岁 (bā suì)" means "8 years old". "This year" in
Chinese is "今年 (jīn nián)".
Here "要 (yào)" is a short for "将要 (jiāng yào)", which means to be going to.
We have learned "了 (le)" is a particle showing past tense.
For example,
"I am going to eat an apple". "我要吃一个苹果。 (wǒ yào chī yī ge píng guǒ)"
"I ate an apple." "我吃了一个苹果。 (wǒ chī le yī ge píng guǒ)"
Amy said, "因为今年我要八岁了 (yīn wèi jīn nián wǒ yào bā suì le)". "了 (le) in this
sentence, does not show past tense. It is a particle used to emphasize "八岁 (bā suì)".
Sarah What kind of birthday cake do you like?

你喜欢什么生日蛋糕？
Amy I like cream cake.

我喜欢奶油蛋糕。
How about you?

你呢？
Sarah I also like cream cake very much.
