Finding Your Way in the City
Xiao Li came to this city for the first time and was not familiar with it at all. In the morning he left the hotel and wanted to go to the bank to take care of some business, but he did not know how to get there.
He saw a café by the road and walked over to ask. He said to the staff member, “Excuse me, may I ask where the bank is?”
The staff member was very friendly and told him to walk straight ahead first, then turn left. After walking five minutes, he would arrive. Xiao Li said thank you and felt that the people in this city were very kind.
