Scene: A classroom with students sitting at their desks. The teacher, Ms. Li, is standing in front of the class.

Ms. Li: Good morning, class. Today, we're going to learn a new Chinese phrase.

Student 1: What is it?

Ms. Li: It's "你好" (nǐ hǎo), which means "hello" in Chinese.

Student 2: How do you pronounce it?

Ms. Li: It's pronounced like "nee how". Let's practice saying it together.

The students repeat the phrase after Ms. Li.

Ms. Li: Good job. Now, let's learn another phrase. This one is "谢谢" (xiè xie), which means "thank you".

Student 3: How do you pronounce it?

Ms. Li: It's pronounced like "shee shee". Let's practice saying it together.

The students repeat the phrase after Ms. Li.

Ms. Li: Excellent. Now, let's put these two phrases together in a conversation.

Student 4: How do we do that?

Ms. Li: Let's say you meet a friend on the street. You would say "你好" (nǐ hǎo) to greet them.

Student 5: And then what?

Ms. Li: Then, they would say "你好" (nǐ hǎo) back to you. You could then say "谢谢" (xiè xie) to thank them for responding.

Student 6: Let's try it.

Two students stand up and practice the conversation.

Student 7: That was fun!

Ms. Li: I'm glad you enjoyed it. Now, let's review what we've learned today.

Ms. Li writes the following phrases on the board:
"你好" (nǐ hǎo) - hello
"谢谢" (xiè xie) - thank you

Ms. Li: Please remember these phrases and practice using them in your conversations.

Students: We will, Ms. Li.

Ms. Li: Class dismissed.

The students leave the classroom, chatting happily in Chinese.
