Learn Chinese with ChineseClass101.com! Staring out the window at work today in Shanghai, you noticed some rain clouds rolling in. One of your coworkers heard a reporter on the radio say that there is a high probability Shanghai will see torrential downpours too. Back home you have seen the very worst of thunderstorms, so you really weren’t too worried…that is, until you got off work! As you walk out the door of your office in China, you are astonished to see that those little rainclouds have now turned into huge back clouds shadowing the city! You decide you just need to get home quickly. However, as you are driving home the rain starts coming down so hard you can’t see the road in front of you! You pull over and flip on the radio, hoping you can make out enough Chinese to pick up what they are saying on the weather reports. Unfortunately, the reporters and meteorologists are all talking so rapidly and excitedly that you can’t make out anything they are saying in Chinese.

Learn Chinese with ChineseClass101.com! As the runoff from the surprise summer storm washes another small child into the gutter, you can’t help but remember the smirking face of the CCTV weatherman on television that morning. “There is a five percent chance of rain,” you remember him saying. You’re not sure if he added, “But we don’t take it very seriously,” but that was the message you took. Which is why you left the house wearing a t-shirt. And shorts. And sandals. And everything was perfectly nice until five minutes ago when the heavens opened.
