I live with my grandmother in a Beijing yard house.One day last year,I was surprised to see a foreigner coming out of the house next door to ours.He was very tall with brown hair and a pair of glasses.

②The bar was not at all what I had expected.It was in a beautiful little yard house,with several large bookshelves and pictures of Tibet on the walls.Several Chinese people and foreigners were sitting drinking or reading books.I noticed that some of the foreigners were speaking Chinese in a low voice to each other.“Oh,what a civilized(文明的)place!” said my grandmother.

The bar served special “hutong pizzas”.As we ate,Tony told us about himself—he is an expert(专家)in environment.He always likes to be quiet.My grandmother said to me,“He really seems like a very nice young man.” Yes,Tony is my new neighbor,a nice foreigner.
