哦。。。你是在这个课的discussion里留言的吗？

Hello, Helen!

I'm sorry to have been so absent these past few weeks. So much travel and end of the year busyness has completely overwhelmed my schedule.

I think we should  plan on getting back on schedule Jan. 2nd (my time).  Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

Happy holidays!

Patti

对，我觉得一个 title 比较好。  我们可以以后每次留言都写在这里， 好吧？你可以总是找到我的问题在这里的标题“？”，然后我可以总是找到你们的回答在这
里。

Patti 

你好Patti!

这几天好吗？我周一早上给你打电话了，但是没人接。

Hope you are well! :)

Helen

Hello, Helen,

Yes, I'm  very well. Sorry about last weekend; I ended up having to take lao er to the Urgent Care Center because she was so sick!  Anyway, we were finally able to see a doctor and I wasn't able to answer any phone calls.

She's much better, but she had a very bad virus.

I've been working on some transcripts for the group Transcripts with Tal.  It's good to have other language learners' collaboration but I think we're stuck in a couple of places and I would like to ask for your help with this:

JZ：对，在中国这个算是 ，是近年，在发现一件事情：：就是跳槽，跳槽。(how I originally transcribed it)

JZ：对，在中国这个算是近，十几年，才发生的一件事情啊：：就是跳槽，跳槽。(zhenlijiang's suggestion)

JZ：对，在中国这个算是，今，是近年，才发生的一件事情啊：：就是跳槽，跳槽。
(#2 after zhen's suggestion)

Can you tell if we are on the right track here?

Thanks!

Patti

Ah... glad to hear 老二现在好多了！

Your really did a great job,Patti!

I just roughly read through your transcripts. Will look it carefully later on today. 

Ok, here is what JZ said:

对，在中国这个算是近十几年才发生的一件事情啊：：就是跳槽。

继续加油哦！ :)

Helen

Okay, here is 一点儿 small corrections for the first few minutes.

你好，Helen.   今天我提到一个中国的电影， 叫做“昨天”。 “昨天”是一个真的故事关一个演员在中国。 他的名字是贾宏声。 在这个故事 他在吸毒。

Patti

Hi, Helen,

I definitely didn't post it as a comment to the dialog section of the Job Shopping lesson.

Here is how I am able to find my post: at the bottom of the Dashboard page I click on "view all conversations".  It takes me to a page with tabs for "Conversations", "Groups", "Posts", "Ranking", and "Team".  When I click on "Posts" I see the post I made entitled "Job Shopping".

I am so sorry this is confusing.  Perhaps you and I should simply communicate under one title that we already have in our "group".

Patti

哎，真恐怖!   我辈悯他的父母，他的妹妹.

你好Patti!

这两周过得好吗？

时间过得好快啊，圣诞节又快到了！

:)

Helen

你好，Helen!

在英文里面我们有一个词语: "time flies";  我肯定同一!  在中文里面你们有一个类似的词语吗？

我们过得感恩节在父母的家。 是一个很大的团圆，很好玩。我们回家以后，我和老公坐飞机去佛罗里达。

现在我得准备：老二的生日和老三的生日快到了!  然后我一定准备圣诞节!

这个月过得怎么样？

Patti

Oh, just some small corrections on your post:

我们感恩节在父母家过的。 是一个很大的团圆，很好玩。我们回家以后，我和老公坐飞机去佛罗里达。

老二的生日和老三的生日快到了! 我得准备一下。 然后我当然还要准备圣诞节!

Hope that helps!:)

周末愉快！

Helen

谢谢Helen!

你好Patti,

周末过得怎么样啊?

不知道你什么时候方便开始上课呢？:)

Helen

哦，这个演员已经跳楼自杀了。

 “昨天”是关于中国一个演员的真实故事。 他的名字是贾宏声。 在这个故事里， 他是一个吸毒者。
