In this lesson

You are learning night food: you will read the scene it happens in, learn 10 words and phrases, take apart the pattern behind them (越...越... — the more...the more...), hear them in a conversation, rehearse them, and finish by saying one thing out loud to be graded.

The scene

Shouning Road (寿宁路) night food street, Shanghai's legendary late-night crayfish alley

Shouning Road After Dark

晚上十点,上海的夜生活才刚开始。小明带我去了寿宁路。这条路是上海最有名的宵夜街。越晚越热闹。

路两边都是小龙虾店。红色的灯笼、大排档的桌子、啤酒和笑声。气氛太好了。我们选了一家最热闹的店坐下来。

我们点了麻辣小龙虾、烧烤串和几个凉菜。小龙虾来了——又红又辣又香。我吃了一个,太过瘾了!越吃越想吃,停不下来。

小明一边吃一边说「上海的夜越来越有意思了。以前没有这么多好吃的。」我说「越晚越好吃!」我们吃到了半夜,太开心了。
