VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

The other day I went to gym at night, and it was a heavy rainy day. My jeans were wet even I took an umbrella. When I finished and went back home, the rain had stopped, but I didn’t realized. I just opened my umbrella and went home. When I walked in the Yanping road, a foreign guy said not raining when he passed. It took me one second to think about what he said. Then I knew the rain had stopped. This took me one second to understand what he said, but I think if he spoke in Chinese I can understand immediately. Then I was thinking what I should say when I met this situation again. I should say:” thank you tell me.” or “thank you told me.”
