Memory excersise.
I have already told you the verb "to be".
So, "I am Miguel"
"You are Xavi"
"She is Xaoli"
(Do I have to work with Miguel? His Chinese is not very good)
What is she saying about me?
Chinese people living in western countries are more shy and introverted.
But in their country are a lot more extroverted.
They usually stop doing their job to help the foreigners.
But sometimes they don't solve the problems.
You don't have to worry too much about the language
because they have a lot ot resources to communicate.
But every now and then communication problems appear.
In general, Chinese people make you feel confortable in their country,
sometimes you will feel like a celebrity
because many of them had never seen a foreigner.
In the occident, we see karaokes as pubs, a big room where everybody sings...
- May I come in? - Wait...Goal!
Here in China is a bit different...
They are whole buildings full of rooms where friends meet to sing.
Let's go singing!

How do you cross the street in China

B) Without looking.
C) With the help of a Chinese.
- Xavi? I'm at Sin Shan's karaoke. - Oh, I am really close.
- Really? So come here. - Ok.
Hey! What's up?
Very good!
They are also pretty good...
- If we sing we will look ridiculous. - I know...
- I'm out... - Yeah, we are leaving...
As you can see, Chinese people sing very good.
To avoid embarrasing yourself, the best is not to sing.
The best "would have been" not to sing...
If you don't want to be embarrased, find a good excuse.
- Miguel, sing! - I am very sick...
Xavi, translate, please.
