刘娜: 小潘, your hometown is Huế, right? Can you tell me about it?
小潘: Sure. Huế is an ancient city in central Vietnam and used to be the imperial capital. It's a famous cultural city.
刘娜: Oh, an imperial capital? Is it like the Forbidden City in China?
小潘: Yes, kind of. The Imperial City in Huế has many old palaces and temples, and it's a UNESCO World Heritage site.
刘娜: Sounds very historical! What else is special?
小潘: The food in Huế is also special, like spicy beef noodles. It's very spicy but delicious.
刘娜: I love spicy food! Are there other places worth visiting?
小潘: Yes, there's also the Perfume River. It's beautiful. At night, there are lanterns along the river—it’s very romantic.
刘娜: Wow, I definitely want to visit someday!
小潘: You're welcome to visit Huế. I can be your tour guide!

小刚: Xiaobao, do you know who Jay Chou is?
小宝: Yes! Mom played his songs before. He sings really well!
小刚: That's right, but recently there was a problem at his concert. Some audience members paid 480 yuan for tickets but could only see the big screen and not the stage.
小宝: Huh? Weren't they really upset?
小刚: Yes, some people felt it was unfair because they paid to get in but couldn’t see the performance. However, the ticketing company said they had clearly stated those seats were in obstructed view areas.
小宝: Then why did they still buy the tickets?
小刚: Because they really like Jay Chou. Even if they couldn't see the stage, they still wanted to hear him sing. But some people think selling tickets like that is wrong — it's kind of like cheating.
