Wrong passage

  1. Dengdeng

    这个(zhège)地铁站(dìtiězhàn)和(hé)商场(shāngchǎng)相连(xiānglián)，夏天(xiàtiān)不用(bùyòng)晒太阳(shàitàiyáng)。

    This subway station is connected to the mall, so in summer you don't need to be in the sun.

  2. Liangliang

    它们(tāmen)是(shì)怎么(zěnme)相连(xiānglián)的(de)？

    How are they connected?

  3. Dengdeng

    有(yǒu)一条(yītiáo)地下(dìxià)通道(tōngdào)，走(zǒu)五分钟(wǔfēnzhōng)就(jiù)到(dào)。

    There is an underground passage. Walk five minutes and you arrive.

  4. Liangliang

    那(nà)我们(wǒmen)快(kuài)走(zǒu)吧(ba)，我(wǒ)想(xiǎng)吃(chī)冰淇淋(bīngqílín)。

    Then let's go. I want to eat ice cream.

  5. Dengdeng

    糟糕(zāogāo)，这条(zhètiáo)通道(tōngdào)和(hé)停车场(tíngchēchǎng)相连(xiānglián)，不是(bùshì)商场(shāngchǎng)。

    Oh no, this passage is connected to the car park, not the mall.
