I understand every word you say.
The boys annoy me all the time in front of my store.
They break my windows and steal my goods.
Captain, please send a policeman to make them stop.
Please do, for I have to go back to China soon.
Yesterday was the expiration of one month of my labor.
This boy broke my window.

Please excuse me.
That is the man who cut my head yesterday.
You have no right to arrest me.
