Briana & Jess,

Great! You were the first group to post your scripts in the blog. Actually, CN 102 students have to post Chinese characters not just Pinyin. Adding pinyin and English translations besides Chinese characters help other students to understand more your scripts. So, post your scripts with Chinese characters first.

Comments on your scripts

Wo xuexi hanyu zai Quinnipiac. (wrong sentence)
Wo zai Quinnipiac xuexi hanyu. (correct sentence)
我在Quinnipiac学习汉语。

Ni shuo yingyu?
Ni shuo yinyu ma？(Adding ma is better when your tone is not fully correct yet.)
你说英语吗？

Shenme Shiwu mai?
Zenma daliang de qian pingguo?
=>What are these sentences???

Great, you are writing the script. Your contents start from finding apples with the store owner. Can you confirm you and your group will upload different scripts? It looks like you are the only one who contributes to this script. Hopefully, your team member can add other interaction with the store owner or the store Chinese visitors. It will be a wonderful and solid filming if your team develops the script like this.

1. 2. The first two sentences are perfect except you accidentally added "zai" in the end of the second sentence. Delete it.

3.Me: 我需要帮助发现苹果。
3.Me：wo xuyao bangzhu faxian pingguo。
=> 发现 means "discover". But, you don't need to discover apples. Here, I suggest you break it down to two sentences. a) 我需要帮助。(I need help.) b) 请告诉我苹果在哪里？（Please tell me where the apples are?)

5.Me：美妙! 谢谢！
5.Me： Meimiao! Xiexie!
=>太好了or 太棒了！

6.Market owner: 你在哪里学吗？
6.Market owner：Ni zai nali xuexi ma？
=〉你在哪里念大学？(念大学, meaning what college your are studying?)

7.Me：我是一名学的 Quinnipiac University.
7.Me: Wo shi yi ming xuesheng de Quinnipiac University。
=>我是Quinnipiac 的大学生。（I am a Quinnipiac College student).

8.Market owner：你学什么?
8.Market owner: Ni xue shenme?

9.Me: 我的研究传播系。
9.Me: Wo de yanjiu chuan bo xi.
=>The verb in sentence 8 is 学 (learn), so in sentence 9, you can reply "我学传播“。

10.Market owner: 你喜欢它吗？
10.Market owner: Ni xihuan ta ma?

11.Me：我爱他！
11.Me：Wo ai ta！
=〉When expressing your desire and devotion to something, you can say "我爱极了！" , "极”means "extreme".

12.Market owner：这是非常好的！
12.Market owner： Zhe shi feichang hao de!

13.Me: 是的，它是！
13.Me：Shi de, ta shi!

14.Market owner: 嗯，这是苹果。
14。Market owner： N, zhe shi pingguo.

15. Me: 谢谢！再见！
15。Me： Xiexie！ Zaijian！

16。Market owner: 再见！
16。 Market owner： Zaijian！

Several comments are included below.

我买啤酒。
