Yesterday I went to a shop with my Chinese friend Lingling.I wanted to buy some cups.I told the shop assistant I wanted some“beizi”.She looked surprised and I didn't know why.
Then my friend Lingling said, “Tom, are you going to buy something for your bed?”“No.I'm going to buy something to drink tea.”I said.Lingling told the assistant about it.
