Practicing Chinese

If you have ever been in a language class you know it involves a lot of back and forth conversation with the professor to practice speaking skills. Usually these sentences sound something like this: If Little Li wants to read a book, where should she go? (or in Chinese that would sound something like yaoshi xiao Li yao kan yi ben shu, ta yinggai qu nar?) Then the class responds (in whatever language, Chinese in my case)If Little Li wants to read a book she should go to the library. You get the point. Example sentences have a reputation for often involving libraries, objects that are red, clothing that you rarely wear, and public transportation. Well, Wei laoshi (Teacher Wei) likes to put a little twist in her example sentences. Yesterday we talked EXTENSIVELY about all the places Wei laoshi could find pijiu, otherwise known to Americans as beer. "If Wei laoshi wants to drink beer, where should she go? How much money should Wei laoshi bring when she goes to buy beer? If a taxi can hold four people and Wei laoshi wants to bring five friends to Wudaokou (the bar district) should they take two taxis or the subway?
