王明找天安门
王明在北京。他想去天安门，但是他不知道怎么去。他看了看手机，但是没有网。他很着急。
他看到一个女人。
“你好，”王明说。”对不起，天安门在哪里？”
“天安门？”女人说。”对不起，我不知道。”
“没关系，谢谢你，”王明说。
王明又走了一会儿。他看到一个老爷爷坐在那里。
“爷爷，您好，”王明说。”天安门在哪里？”
老爷爷笑了，说：”天安门在那里。你往前走，然后往左走。走十分钟就到了。”
“谢谢您！”王明说。
“没事，”老爷爷说。”你是哪里人？”
“我是上海人，”王明说。”我第一次来北京。”
老爷爷说：”北京很好！好好玩吧！”
王明谢了老爷爷，往前走。他往左走。十分钟以后，他看到了天安门。
Wang Ming is in Beijing. He wants to go to Tiananmen, but he doesn’t know how to get there. He looked at his phone, but there was no internet. He was very anxious.
He saw a woman.
“Hello,” Wang Ming said. “Excuse me, where is Tiananmen?”
“Tiananmen?” the woman said. “Sorry, I don’t know.”
“No problem, thank you,” Wang Ming said.
Wang Ming walked a little further. He saw an elderly man sitting there.
“Hello, Grandpa,” Wang Ming said. “Where is Tiananmen?”
The old man smiled and said: “Tiananmen is over there. Walk straight ahead, then turn left. Walk for ten minutes and you’ll arrive.”
“Thank you!” Wang Ming said.
“No problem,” the old man said. “Where are you from?”
“I’m from Shanghai,” Wang Ming said. “This is my first time in Beijing.”
The old man said: “Beijing is great! Have fun!”
Wang Ming thanked the old man and walked forward. He turned left. Ten minutes later, he saw Tiananmen.
