Week 4

你好！

This week we have started to learn all about Time and Schedules. On Monday we had a check up over some of the various vocabulary we have started to learn such as: 起床，每天，半，大学，省后，学期，门，点，睡觉，才，刻，然后，图书馆，下午，喜欢，打球，写信。These are all expressions discussing time and college life, their English meanings are as follows: to get up, every day, half, college, life, semester, (measure word for school courses), o'clock, to go to bed, not until, a quarter (of an hour), then/after that/afterwords, library, afternoon, to like, to play basketball/badminton/tennis/table tennis, to write letter. I liked learning a lot about this lesson because it helped me with the previous lesson on learning more about how to talk on the phone and make appointments.

Wednesday in class, we discussed the International Festival that we have coming up on this Sunday, January 27, 2012. I am in charge of the Marketing sector for Chinese club, so for this event I am going to be taking photos of the different things that our club will be participating in, as well as manning the booth and I also created business cards that we will be able to pass out to the different visitors. In class, we played a review game on sentence structures and the proper order in which the nouns and verbs should be placed in the Chinese Language.

People, Time, Place, V

Friday, in class, we discussed the International festival in more depth and then had our speaking checkup! I had to say the following things by memorization: 我很忙，我今天八点起床，然后我迟早反，我正在看电视，我试点睡觉。


I am also continuing working on my Chinese script for my midterm project. Here we are repeating after a native speaker so that we can increase our pronunciation and anunciation of the tones in the Chinese Language. I have chosen a very beautiful poem called A Flowering Tree to repeat as my project, and have already developed the script it should be fun!

再见！

爱刻你
