Lesson 23

Zhao Hanyu is a Grade 7 student. She is talking to her grandma on the phone.

Hanyu：Hello, Grandma! It’s me, Hanyu.

Grandma：Hello, Hanyu. How is school going? Are you doing well these days?

Hanyu：Yes. I am learning a lot of interesting things at school. And I am reading some English

stories. I can read you one this weekend.

Grandma：Are you coming to visit us this weekend?

Hanyu：Yes, Grandma. I am going to come over tomorrow. But I will go to the bookstore first.

Grandma：Sure, my little bookworm. The bookstore is just two bus stops away. It’s very close.

Hanyu：Do you need anything from the supermarket? I can get it for you.

Grandma：No. I always buy my groceries at the morning market. The vegetables are fresh and not

too expensive.

Hanyu：What are we going to have for dinner?

Grandma：Dumplings, of course.

Hanyu：Yay! My favourite food!
