感恩节,你最感谢谁?

Over the holiday weekend, have a think about who or what you are thankful for this year. Write one or two paragraphs in Chinese about your thoughts so we can discuss next week when school starts again.

This is a picture of a Thanksgiving dinner that I found on Google.Have a nice break!

感恩节来了,你最想感谢谁?为什么?他们为你做了什么?把你的感想写下来.下星期一上课时一起讨论.

感恩节快乐!

比较感恩节和中秋节

First thing... wonderful menus and shopping lists! I enjoy reading it.
首先shǒu​xiān,你们的感恩节购物单和菜单,棒极了!( bàng​jí​le Excellent)

OK, we have studied the mid-autumn festival中秋节 (remember the story of the Moon Lady Chang-e嫦娥 and moon cakes, right?) and we have just finished studying Thanksgiving with the story about the Indians.
So, today's homework is to compare the two holiday festivals and write down what you think is similar and different between the two. For example:

中秋节是农历 (nóng​lì)八月十五日, 感恩节是十一月的第四个星期四,时间不一样

中秋节的故事是嫦娥Cháng​’é 飞到月亮,变成(biàn​chéng)月姑娘 (gū​niang)

感恩节是英国人来到美国,印地安人帮住他们种玉米马铃薯,让英国人的生活变好

还有过中秋节的时候,中国人吃月饼,过感恩节的时候,美国人吃火鸡.

adjective + 极了(jí​le) extremely / exceedingly 

1. 棒极了    super / excellent
2. 开心极了  to have a great time
3. 漂亮极了  extremely pretty

It's Turkey time - so let's get shopping! 感恩节购物单

We've leaned the characters we need for Thanksgiving, so now let's first put together a shopping list for our Thanksgiving dinner.


The characters are shown in the turkeys feathers, so write them correctly in the shopping list.


Add any things that you would like to eat to the list.
You can check the food items on  chapter 11.


Create a dinner menu which shows the first course, main course and desert.


Please have this ready for our lesson on Tuesday.

I'm really, really, really busy at school these days ..... 我忙死了

This is what we covered today in Class about the grammar structure for 

expressing an extreme situation. Usually, Chinese people don't like to 

use word associated with "death" but in these cases they do. 

今天在课堂上,我们学习了"形容词+死了" 这个语法.一般来说,( In general) 
中国人不喜欢用跟"死"有关的词 ,但是在这个句型 " 形容词+  死了"例外. 

这个句型,也可以 用"  动词+  死了"  For example:

昨天我帮邻居看小孩, 一个三岁, 一个五岁. 他们太调皮搗蛋, 我真是 烦死了!

Please describe an event that requires you to use this grammar  structure.

What is the difference between this International Student's life and your own life?

We have been studying the unit for "School life" for the past two weeks. We covered every day activities and school subjects such as History, English, Math and so on. We also learned how to describe the activity in our daily lives.


Read the article about an international student in China and write down three things that are either the same or different from your daily activities. Use the grammar points as follows:

1. 每(měi)…… 都(dōu)……
2. 一边(yì biān)……一边(yì biān)……
3. 除了(chú le)……还(hái)……
4. 有时候,,,,,,  有时候
5.  ----以后
6. 或者  ( either, or)

Please try posting your homework as a reply to this message! If you can't type Chinese on your computer then please write it out and bring it to school .

Hello, class

Hi there FM3HF!

I have created this blog to help you with your Chinese work. Feel free to add comments on the material, subject or anything else. I plan to upload two or three articles each week for you to read and respond to which I hope will help you with a better understand the class content and your Chinese typing skills. Having an ability to type in Chinese will become important in the future.


Each week I hope to select one or two of the best articles from the class and publish them here.
