How did I do?
我干得怎么样？

A rookie police officer was out for his first ride in a cruiser with an experienced partner.
A call came in telling them to disperse¹ some people who were loitering. The officers drove to the street and observed a small crowd standing² on a corner. The rookie rolled down his window and said, "Let's get off the corner, people." A few glances, but no one moved, so he barked again, "Let's get off that corner...NOW!" Intimidated³, the group of people began to leave, casting puzzled stares in his direction. Proud of his first official act, the young policeman turned to his partner and asked, "Well, how did I do?" "Pretty good," chuckled⁴ the veteran policemen, "especially since this is a bus stop!"
