Today afternoon, my grandpa taked me to the park.
First, I see there are three grandpas sitting on the stone chair. I quick ran to them. I told a riddle to them. “It has a head but it doesn’t have a neck. It has eyes but doesn’t have eyebrows. It has a tail but it doesn’t have legs. It have wings but it couldn’t fly.”
Three grandpas didn’t know the answer. A granny near by asked, “Is it a fish?” “Yes.” I said.
Then, grandpas and the grandma let me have a dance. I did 《Twinkle Twinkle Little Star》。 A foreign granny walked by. She stops and looked at me. When I was finish dancing. She claps to me. When I hear there’s still claping sounds. I look around. I saw that foreign granny. Her hair is white. It looks like she is seventy or eighty years old. When she was going to go away.Grandpa let me to have a greeting to her. So I ran quickly as possible.
When I ran to her. She speak Ni Hao to me. Then she speak another Chinese sentence. But I don’t know what her words meant because that sentence sounded funny. Then I said ‘Hello’ to her. She said, “Oh, you speak English.” Then, she speak English with me. She asked me lots and lots of questions. Here is our dialogue:
“How many years did you learn English in school?”
“One.”
“How old are you?”
“I’m seven years old.”
“Where did you learn English? At school?”
“Err… First I learn English on the computer.”
“Umm. Your English is very good.”
“Welcome to Xi’an.” I said.
“Thank you.”
“Err… Which country do you from?” I asked.
“I’m from Brazil. Brazilia.”
“Is school end today?”
“Yes.”
“Why you don’t go on vacation.”
“I want my grandpa to teach me how to swim this summer.”
“Oh, you are going swimming. So where are you going to swim? At home?”
“I can swim at home. I can swim in the bath tub. But it is too small for me to swim in.”
“So you are going to the Xi’an swimming pool to swim in?”
“Yes.”
“What language do you know?”
“I only know English and our language--- ---Chinese.”
“The song that you sing, is a Chinese song or an English song?”
“It’s a Chinese song.”
“What’s the name of the song?”
“In English it is 《Twinkle Twinkle Little Star》。”
“What other English song do you know?”
“I know Susana. But I can’t remember the words excatly.”
Then my grandpa comes here. He remind me for some sentences I forget to say. Here is the next:
“I love you.” I said.
“I love you, too.”
“What’s your name?” She asked.
“My name is Wang Hanzhi. My English name is Jenny.”
“Jenny. So I will tell everyone that little Jenny seven years old speak very well English. OK?”
“OK.”
“Have a good time.”
“Thank you. You too! Goodbye!”
“Bye!”
Then we leave.
