Elementary ‐ Intermediate ‐ Chinese New Year
(C0037)
A: I’m so excited about Chinese New Year! When do I get
to visit Grandma? Grandma makes the best dumplings in
the world!
B: Ha ha, right. Sounds to me like you’re more excited
about the dumplings than seeing your Grandma.
A: Of course I miss Grandma, too. I bet she’s gonna teach
me how to play Mahjong! Hey, Dad, are you going to buy
me firecrackers this year? We’re going to have the best
fireworks! I’m really looking forward to lighting them!
B: Son, firecrackers aren’t toys; they’re dangerous!
A: No, fireworks are awesome!
B: Whoa, don’t you remember? Last year when I set off
the firecrackers, you covered both your ears and hid
behind your mother?
A: Dad! I was scared because... because I saw a bug.
That’s all.
B: Hahaha... really?
A: Oh, and I can’t wait to watch the dragon dance! Dad,
can I sit on your shoulders this time?
B: Hey, I offered last year...
A: Well, I... anyways, I was just thinking of the red
envelopes. I wanna make a list of all the things I’m gonna
buy with my red envelope money! I can’t wait! I’m gonna
have so much money! Mom, can I get a pen and a piece of
paper?
A: I want a new transformer, no, two transformers...the
Optimus Prime, and...maybe the wheeljack? I’ll get a PSP
game, hahaha, and I’ll buy the entire class lunch at
MacDonald’s...
