Question

I live with my grandmother in a Beijing yard house.One day last year,I was surprised to see a foreigner coming out of the house next door to ours.He was very tall with brown hair and a pair of glasses.

The first time I saw him,I was too shy to speak to him.“My English is too bad!” I thought.① 我的祖母告訴我說(shuō)他剛搬進(jìn)我們的院內(nèi)。 “I don’t like him,”she said.“Foreigners aren’t like us.Maybe he’ll play loud music and have parties every night!I’m sure he’s going to cause trouble.”

Several days later,I met the foreigner as I was walking home after work.“Hello!” he said,“My name is Tony.I’ve just moved into the house next door to yours.” While I was wondering what to say,he continued,“There’s a nice bar down the road.Why don’t you and your family come to the bar and have dinner with me?” “Bars are bad places,”said my grandmother when I told her,but we decided to go.

②The bar was not at all what I had expected.It was in a beautiful little yard house,with several large bookshelves and pictures of Tibet on the walls.Several Chinese people and foreigners were sitting drinking or reading books.I noticed that some of the foreigners were speaking Chinese in a low voice to each other.“Oh,what a civilized(文明的)place!” said my grandmother. 

The bar served special “hutong pizzas”.As we ate,Tony told us about himself—he is an expert(專(zhuān)家)in environment.He always likes to be quiet.My grandmother said to me,“He really seems like a very nice young man.” Yes,Tony is my new neighbor,a nice foreigner.
