You are learning superlatives in action: you will read the scene it happens in, learn 10 words and phrases, take apart the pattern behind them (最 in negotiations — superlative bargaining), hear them in a conversation, rehearse them, and finish by saying one thing out loud to be graded.
Negotiating prices at Dongtai Road antique market and nearby food stalls
今天我去了东台路的市场。这里有很多小摊,卖各种东西。我看到一个很漂亮的茶壶,想买。
我问老板「这个多少钱?」他说「两百块。」太贵了!我说「可以讲价吗?最低多少钱?」老板想了想,说「最低一百五。」
我说「太贵了。最多给你八十块。」老板笑了,说「八十块?太少了。这是最好的质量。最少一百块。」
我说「好吧,一百块。可以打折吗?」老板说「好,九十块。」我说「成交!」然后我去旁边的小摊买了最好吃的生煎包。两块钱一个,不用讲价。太便宜了!
