粉笔作文A fellow speaker from California named Geri flew to Japan, in her favorite jeans
and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later, four perfectly
dresd Japane gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards
with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.
When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby(lobby(大厅大厅大厅). ).
While sipping tea, the gentlemen prented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, it's
beautiful beautiful！”！”！”
