读书

我用了很多时间把故事书里的一章给读完。我为自己的努力而感到高兴。

龙也给我不少帮助。

现在他在我身旁指导着我， 不然我的文法怎么会那么好。(笑)

我真的感谢他的帮忙。

谢谢，老师。

This is so tiring...you have no idea how many hours I spent on these two paragraphs only... goodness....

Learning from a storybook

I'm reading a Chinese storybook, learning from there. Sorry I'm not writing this in Chinese. =P Just thought I should clarify and it's much much easier for me to communicate in English still. I will get better though. =)

I'm just revising the words I don't know from the book... I just bought a Chinese dictionary, and I'm having a blast learning new words and their meanings!

圣诞节 = shengdanjie = Christmas

Individually:
圣 - holy, sacred
诞 - birth, birthday
节 - holiday, festival

But this is such a slooooowww process, I'm only on the first sentence. And the dictionary is so big and unwieldy...

I think it's a better idea to just read the book first and come back later here to revise.

Hmmpphh, why didn't I think of that earlier. I'm not as smart as I thought. LOL!
