咖啡店的WiFi密码
我走进一家咖啡店。我想用手机上网。
我看了看手机，找到了咖啡店的wifi，但是需要密码。
我走到前台，对店员说：”你好，请问wifi密码是什么？”
店员笑着说：”你先买一杯咖啡，我就告诉你。”
我说：”好的，给我一杯美式咖啡。”
我付了钱。店员给了我咖啡，还给了我一张小纸条。
纸条上写着wifi密码。我输入密码，手机连上了wifi。
我坐下来，喝咖啡，上网。今天真不错。
The Coffee Shop WiFi Password
I walked into a coffee shop. I wanted to use my phone to go online.
I looked at my phone and found the coffee shop’s WiFi, but it required a password.
I walked to the front counter and said to the staff member: ‘Hello, may I ask what the WiFi password is?’
The staff member smiled and said: ‘First buy a cup of coffee, then I’ll tell you.’
I said: ‘Okay, give me an Americano.’
I paid the money. The staff member gave me the coffee and also gave me a small slip of paper.
The WiFi password was written on the slip of paper. I entered the password, and my phone connected to the WiFi.
I sat down, drank coffee, and went online. Today was really nice.
