第二天：第一次去报名
第二天早上，小王又去社区中心。他想：我常常一个人跑步，今天可以跟别人一起走路。
工作人员给他一张表。表上有名字、电话、时间，还有喜欢什么的活动。小王写：我喜欢走路，因为我喜欢在公园看天气。
这时候，李阿姨也来了。她拿着一个笔记本，说：我不太喜欢吃太辣，所以我想学做简单的菜。
工作人员问：您喜欢什么菜呢？李阿姨说：我比较喜欢清淡的汤，还喜欢炒菜。
下午，小林才来。他有点紧张，因为他从来没用毛笔。老师说：没关系，我们慢慢练习。
最后，三个人都报名成功。他们约好：下周一起去参加自己喜欢的活动。
Day 2: First Time to Sign Up
The next morning, Xiao Wang went to the community center again. He thought: I often run alone, but today I can walk together with other people.
A staff member gave him a form. On the form were his name, phone number, time, and also which activities he likes. Xiao Wang wrote: I like walking, because I like seeing the weather in the park.
Just then, Auntie Li also arrived. She held a notebook and said: I don’t really like eating very spicy food, so I want to learn to make simple dishes.
The staff member asked: What dishes do you like? Auntie Li said: I prefer light soup, and I also like stir-fried vegetables.
In the afternoon, Xiao Lin finally came. He was a little nervous, because he had never used a writing brush before. The teacher said: It’s okay, we will practice slowly.
In the end, all three people successfully signed up. They agreed: Next week we’ll go together to join the activities each of us likes.
