《English Translation》

大卫: 刘老师, I want to buy a pen at the school store, but I don't know how to say it.
刘娜: It's very simple! You can say: 'Hello, I want to buy a pen.'
大卫: Oh, 'Hello, I want to buy a pen.' Is that right?
刘娜: That's correct! If the shop assistant asks you 'What color do you want?', you can answer with a color, like 'I want a blue one' or 'I want a black one.'
大卫: Got it. If I want to ask about the price, how should I say it?
刘娜: You can say: 'Excuse me, how much is this?' The shop assistant will tell you the price, for example, 'Five yuan.'
大卫: 'Five yuan,' what does that mean?
刘娜: 'Five yuan' means five RMB. In China, we use '块' as the unit for money, which means the same as '元.'
大卫: I see! Thank you, 刘老师. I'll go and try to buy a pen now!
刘娜: Alright, 大卫, good luck! If you have any questions, come ask me again.
