冯尚德下飞机后不知道怎么去学校，就问机场的工作人员。工作人员告诉他可以坐地铁。要先坐机场线，然后换10号线，再换4号线。下车后，往西走10分钟左右就到了。冯尚德的汉语不太好，所以请工作人员帮他写怎么换车。他非常感谢工作人员的帮助。

Translation
Feng Shangde didn’t know how to get to school after getting off the plane, so he asked the airport staff. The staff told him that he could take the subway. Take the airport line first, then change to Line 10, and then change to Line 4. After getting off the bus, walk west for about 10 minutes. Feng Shangde’s Chinese is not very good, so he asked the staff to help him write how to change the car. He is very grateful for the help of the staff.
