我同意 (I agree)

我同意 is a simple, direct way to agree with what someone just said — literally "I agree."

我同意，爬山可以运动一下。— I agree, hiking is good exercise too.

我也这么想 (I think so too)

也 (also) + 这么想 (think this way) is a natural way to say you feel the same as the person before you.

我也这么想，我们好久没有一起出去了。— I think so too, we haven't gone out together in ages.

于是 (so; as a result)

于是 links two clauses to show the second happened as a natural result of the first.

于是我们决定周六见面。— So we decided to meet on Saturday.

1. What are the friends deciding at dinner?

2. How does 小张 respond to 小美's suggestion?

3. What do the friends do once they reach the top of the mountain?
