Rainy Day

Audio Player


下雨天,rainy day,

我在雨中走,I walk in the rain.

 外頭下大雨,It is pouring outside.

 裡頭下小雨。 It is drizzling inside.

 哎呀!傘壞了,Ai Ya! The umbrella is broken.

 害我沒有地方躲。Thus, I have no where to hide

Seven years old

Audio Player

七歲了 Seven Years Old

外公七十歲了,頭髮白了,牙齒不見了。Grandfather is 70 years old; his hair has turned white and has lost all of his teeth.

我七歲了,個子高了,褲子短了,I am seven years old.  I am growing taller. My pants are getting shorter.

腳大了,鞋子小了。My feet are getting larger. My shoes are getting smaller

咦!糖果吃得不多,Oh!  I have not eaten a lot of candy,

為什麼牙齒也不見了?but why is it that I am loosing my teeth?

Got Up

Audio Player

起牀了Got Up
鬧鐘鈴鈴響,我要起床了。
The alarm clock is ringing; I have to get out of bed.
肚子咕嚕咕嚕叫,我要吃飯了。
My belly is rumbling, so I have to go and eat.
月亮微微笑,我要睡覺了。
The moon is smiling, so I have to go to sleep.

Song about of

Audio Player

早上吃得好,         Eat a good breakfast

念書念得真不少。         Read quite a lot of books

中午吃得飽,         Eat a fulfilling lunch                                         

打字打得快又好。         Type words fast and well.

晚上吃得少,        Eat little at night.

睡覺睡得甜又飽。         Sleep sweetly and contently.

Little Footprints

Audio Player

小脚印 Little Footprints

馬路上有很多腳印,There are many footprints on the road.
有的腳印新,Some are new footprints.
有的腳印舊,some are old footprints
都是前進的腳印。But all are moving forward.
沙灘上有很多腳印,On the beach there are many footprints.
有的腳印大,Some are big,
有的腳印小,while others are small.
都是快樂的腳印。All are happy footprints.
