Hi Takako,
你好(nǐhǎo)!
“种(zhǒng)” means type or kind in this lesson. For example,
这(zhè)种(zhǒng)苹果(píngguǒ)很(hěn)好吃(hǎochī)。
This kind of apple is very delicious.

Hi Takako,
谢谢(xièxiè)。Thanks.
In Chinese, "What time is it now?" is "现在(xiànzài)几点(jǐdiǎn)?" And more politely, you can say,"请问(qǐngwèn),现在(xiànzài)几点(jǐdian)?"

It's particularly famous for its great variety of soups and the locally made wonton and meatballs which offer a rare treat. Personally, I recommend you try "fó tiào qiáng," or "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall." Swimming in th...
