全文 The whole conversation, with pinyin and English
文杰:王老师,请问您现在有空吗?我想问一道数学题。
wáng lǎo shī qǐng wèn nín xiàn zài yǒu kòng ma wǒ xiǎng wèn yí dào shù xué tí
Wenjie: Mrs Wang, excuse me, are you free now? I'd like to ask about a maths question.
王老师:有空,进来吧。是哪一道题?
yǒu kòng jìn lai ba shì nǎ yí dào tí
Mrs Wang, the maths teacher: Yes, I'm free. Come in. Which question is it?
文杰:就是这道应用题。虽然我读了好几遍,但是还是不明白它在问什么。
jiù shì zhè dào yìng yòng tí suī rán wǒ dú le hǎo jǐ biàn dàn shì hái shi bù míng bai tā zài wèn shén me
Wenjie: It's this word problem. Although I've read it several times, I still don't understand what it's asking.
王老师:别着急。我们先把题目里的数字圈出来,再画一个模型图。
bié zháo jí wǒ men xiān bǎ tí mù li de shù zì quān chū lai zài huà yí gè mó xíng tú
Mrs Wang, the maths teacher: Don't worry. First let's circle the numbers in the question, then draw a model.
文杰:哦,原来小明的钱是小华的三倍,所以要画四个一样长的格子!
o yuán lái xiǎo míng de qián shì xiǎo huá de sān bèi suǒ yǐ yào huà sì gè yí yàng cháng de gé zi
Wenjie: Oh, I see! Xiaoming has three times as much money as Xiaohua, so I need to draw four boxes of the same length!
王老师:对了!只要看懂题目的意思,问题就解决了一半。
duì le zhǐ yào kàn dǒng tí mù de yì si wèn tí jiù jiě jué le yí bàn
Mrs Wang, the maths teacher: That's right! Once you understand what the question means, the problem is half solved.
文杰:我明白了!以后遇到不懂的题,我也会先画图。
wǒ míng bai le yǐ hòu yù dào bù dǒng de tí wǒ yě huì xiān huà tú
Wenjie: I get it now! From now on, when I meet a question I don't understand, I'll draw a model first too.
王老师:很好。下次有问题,随时来问我。
hěn hǎo xià cì yǒu wèn tí suí shí lái wèn wǒ
Mrs Wang, the maths teacher: Very good. Next time you have a question, come and ask me any time.
文杰:谢谢王老师,您辛苦了!
