Shifu:I’m glad to hear that. Now let’s start our Taichi class today.  

Joe:  What shall we learn today?

Shifu:Let’s start with Taichi Qishi, the starting form. You stand beside me andfollow me.  

Joe:Okay, Shifu.

Shifu:Look at me. You stand up straight, with your two heels together and tiptoesseparated. Can you see my feet clearly?

Joe:Yes, I can, Shifu.

Shifu:Remember that your arms should fall on both sides of the body, with the middlefingers on the leg seam. Look straight forward. 

Joe：AmI right?

Shifu:Put your two heels together.

Joe:Okay! Am I right now?

Shifu:Awesome! Let’s go on.

Joe：早，師父！

師父：早，Joe。昨晚睡好了沒？

Joe：睡好了，睡得可沉了。

師父：很高興聽你這麼說。那我們就開始我們今天的太極課吧。

Joe：我們今天學什麼？

師父：我們從太極起式開始。你站在我身邊，跟著我來。

Joe：好的，師父。

师父：看着我。你身体站正，两脚跟并拢，脚尖分开。你看清楚我的脚了吗？

Joe：是的，看清楚了，师父。

師父:记住，你的两臂垂在身体两侧，两个中指贴着裤缝，眼睛平视前方。

Joe：我做的对吗？

师父:脚后跟并拢。

Joe：好的。现在对不对？

师父：很好。我们接着往下来。
