Sample Sentences

所以，遇到任何一个人都比老Q正派，比小咪热情，比小F殷勤，最好是即便劈头问候其母亲，也不生气不回嘴更不哭，最好像家里哄孩子用的iPad，

suǒyǐ ，yùdào rènhé yī ge rén dōu bǐ lǎo Q zhèngpài ，bǐ xiǎomī rèqíng ，bǐ xiǎo F yīnqín ，zuìhǎo shì jíbiàn pītóu wènhòu qí mǔqīn ，yě bù shēngqì bù huízuǐ gèng bù kū ，zuì hǎoxiàng jiālǐ hǒng háizi yòng de iPad ，

so whoever you meet will be more decent than Old Q, more enthusiastic than Xiaomi, and more hospitable than Small F. Even when you insult the desk lady's mother, she is not angry, she doesn't talk back, she doesn't cry, it's like using an iPad at home to coax children.
