大家好，我们要朗读故事咯!
Have you heard of 小狗请客? I think it is a really nice, meaningful short story and easy to memorise too. For those with P2 kids, this might be familiar because it is one of the 课文.
Anyway, the story behind this is a few months ago, this girl told me she had to go to school early on selected days of the week because she had storytelling practice with her Chinese teacher. She told me there were initially three of them who were chosen to represent their class but one didn't show up so two of them were tasked to tell the whole story on the actual day.
I didn't think much of it till it was over and the teacher sent me a clip of her performance. Not bad at all, Ariel! I wouldn't have been able to do that in P2 and I was proud of how confident she looked and how she calmly remembered all her lines. Thus, we decided to use the same story to do a mother-and-daughter version so we can remember it as well as share this nice story with those of you who speak Mandarin too. I think this is a pretty good way for the kids to learn the language and build up their self-esteem too, right?
P.S. Talking about Chinese, I am regretful to share that 快乐妈咪 column will be taking a break for now as the newspaper is revamping their layout and we have to wait and see what their future plans are. I don't want it to stop me from continuing to write and share my thoughts so hopefully I can write some Chinese posts from time to time on the blog yeah? 谢谢大家!
