NCSCSL1-Tianyi

Dear parents and students, 新年快乐！Happy Chinese New Year! This week we learned the first two paragraphs of The Phantom of The Opera. All of you got a Chinese version of the lyrics. I hope you can watch the Chinese version again and try to pronounce the rest of the lyrics.  Next week we will continue to learn Chapter 2 about family members. Please preview the text on page 8 and think about how to introduce your family. I understand that because of the culture differences, the names in Chinese and English have slightly differences, which may increase the difficulty to memorize them. Next week, I want to invite you to explore the differences related to family between eastern and western ideology.  Besides, since this week we did not have enough time to go over the knowledge about numbers, we will take an oral quiz at the beginning of the next class. Hope all of you can review the previous knowledge and prepare for the quiz. Thank you! Best, Tianyi  

Hello everyone, This week we learned how to write your address in Chinese and how to count numbers from 1 to 999. Please preview the text of chapter 1 and think about how to ask your partner's address and telephone number, as well as how to pronounce your address and number in Chinese. At the beginning of the next class, I will invite you to choose a partner, come to the front, and then make a conversation with your partner. Although you do not have written homework, it does not mean you do not homework this week. I will evaluate your performance according to next week's conversation. Besides, after discussion and negotiation, this week, we decided to choose the Chinese version of The Phantom of the Opera to do our final performance. Please remember to watch the YouTube video (both English and Chinese version) to get familiar with the melody and lyrics of this song. Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you next week. Best, Tianyi
