LEARN IN CONTEXT

Read and listen across several real contexts

This lesson uses the number and type of texts that fit the topic. Learn the same language across different situations instead of forcing everything into one dialogue.

Modern life and urban development

Tíngchēzhèng kěyǐ xiān zài shǒujī shàng jiāo cáiliào停车证可以先在手机上交材料Parking-permit materials can be submitted by phone first
Yǐqián shēnqǐng tíngchēzhèng, xūyào xiān dào fúwù dàtīng qǔ hào, jiāo cáiliào. Xiànzài kěyǐ xiān zài shǒujī shàng tiánxiě xìnxī bìng shàngchuán cáiliào.以前申请停车证，需要先到服务大厅取号、交材料。现在可以先在手机上填写信息并上传材料。Previously, applying for a parking permit required first going to the service hall to take a number and submit documents. Now information and documents can be submitted by phone first.
Gōngzuò rényuán wǎngshàng jiǎnchá yǐhòu, huì fāsòng xiāoxi gàosu nǐ cáiliào shìfǒu wánzhěng.工作人员网上检查以后，会发送消息告诉你材料是否完整。After staff check the documents online, they send a message telling you whether the materials are complete.
Shěnhé tōngguò hòu, zài ànzhào tōngzhī shíjiān dào fúwù zhōngxīn qǔ zhèng.审核通过后，再按照通知时间到服务中心取证。After approval, go to the service center at the notified time to collect the permit.
Zhèyàng réngrán xūyào dào xiànchǎng yí cì, dàn kěyǐ jiǎnshǎo páiduì hé chóngfù jiāo cáiliào de shíjiān.这样仍然需要到现场一次，但可以减少排队和重复交材料的时间。This still requires one in-person visit, but it can reduce time spent queuing and resubmitting documents.

Using a public bicycle for the first time

Xiān dǎkāi dìtú quèrèn zhège chēdiǎn néng huán chē, zài sǎo chē shàng de mǎ.先打开地图确认这个车点能还车，再扫车上的码。First open the map to confirm that this point accepts returns, then scan the code on the bicycle.
林雨
Qíwán yǐhòu bìxū huán dào zhèlǐ ma?骑完以后必须还到这里吗？Do I have to return it here after riding?
周可
Bú yòng, dìtú shàng biāochū de qítā chēdiǎn yě kěyǐ. Huán chē chénggōng yǐhòu shǒujī huì yǒu tíshì.不用，地图上标出的其他车点也可以。还车成功以后手机会有提示。No. Other bicycle points shown on the map are fine too. Your phone will show a notice after the return succeeds.
