WDCTS-TCML (Washington D.C. Taiwanese School -Taiwan Center for Mandarin Learning) Conversation Class Note - Nov 5, 2023

 

We have used your TOCFL pre-screening 2.0 proficiency description and learning strategies in Listening and reading last week to focus on the importance of 4 tones in Mandarin learning.

我們用了上週同學的華測快篩 2.0 能力描述和聽讀學習策略，著重於漢字學習中四種聲調的重要性。

During the practice session, Rico shared about his experience today at the tennis match. He meant to say ‘impartial, fair” however when he pronounced it, I mistakenly took it as ‘beating the dog causes the trouble.”

在練習課程中，熊大東分享了他今天在網球比賽中的經驗。他原本想說“公平、公正”，但在他發音時，我誤解成“打狗誤事”。

Zài liànxí kèchéng zhōng, 熊大東 fēnxiǎngle tā jīntiān zài wǎngqiú bǐsài zhōng de jīngyàn. Tā yuánběn xiǎng shuō “gōngpíng, gōngzhèng”, dàn zài tā fāyīn shí, wǒ wùjiě chéng “dǎ gǒu wùshì”.

We plan to use our study of 9-16 Aboriginal groups in Taiwan last week to demonstrate the unique costumes along with special totem design with WDCTS “indigenous Day” event in the auditorium 2:45 p.m. to 3:15 p.m.

我們利用上週對台灣9-16個原住民的研究，計劃下週11 月 12 日下午2點45分至3:15在禮堂舉行的WDCTS-華府台灣學校「原住民日」活動中展示獨特的服裝以及特殊的圖騰設計。

We welcome the new student, Ken Fan, who has passed the pre-screening 2.0 Novice Level in Listening well.  Since he is new to our class, his homework this week is to use all the mandarin characters he has learned so far to write 5-10 sentences about “self-introduction.”

Please do not forget to pre-screen your “Reading Level” this week when you have time. 

歡迎新同學范健加入我們的班，他在聽力方面已經成功通過了華測快篩 2.0 準備級。由於他是我們班的新生，本週,范健的家庭作業是:

請用你學過的漢字寫5-10句「自我介紹」。

請不要忘記在本週有時間的時候華測快篩一下你的“閱讀”。
