English (for the teacher)
When someone says “对不起” (sorry) to you, you can say: “没关系” (It’s okay). You can also say: “没事” (It’s nothing).
It’s raining? Never mind, we’ll take a taxi.
But who says “没关系”? The person who hears “sorry” says it, not the person who says “sorry”.
When someone says “谢谢” (thank you), you say “不客气” (You’re welcome), not “没关系”.

Mr Jiang looks at him: “‘That’s okay’ is what I say! ‘Sorry’ is what you say!”
“Sorry, sorry!”
Mr Jiang laughs: “That’s okay.”
He eats the dumplings, pays, and says: “Thank you.”

Mr Jiang looks at him. Xiao Peng thinks for a moment: “You’re welcome! You’re welcome!”
Mr Jiang says: “I’ll come again tomorrow. I want buns, not dumplings!”
