Boran,

*gulp*, an Advanced lesson! I've never been to this strange land before; I'm scared.  I guess I'll cheat and just use a translation service for the dialog transcript and discussion page.  Thanks Henning.

boran, 在这儿上个星期五孩子们在学校表演,看同学们表演,一后就早一点儿回家. 表演都在学校院子里面,很多路上的行人都停,站着看孩子们表演,很热闹.

cassielin, 谢谢, 六一儿童节快乐!

guolanusa,

不用谢。

今天是六一儿童节,虽然我已经不再是儿童了,但是任然收到很多朋友的祝福短信,在中国,很多年轻人都借着六一儿童节来重温儿时的记忆。挺有意思的。^_^

 

henning,

Thank you for the link, I don't know there was a lesson about children's day before. Jenny is right, many chinese thought the children's day is international when they were kids, me too. I just realized the difference after listening to the advanced lesson on children's day.

So, henning, do you celebrate children's day with your son? did you buy him some toys or others?
