今天天气很好,你想去公园吗?我在想,去公园散步,看一看树和花,是不是一个好主意?听完这一集,你就能用中文问朋友:我们去公园好不好?你也能明白他们的回答。

早上,我醒了。外面天气很好。我想:今天去哪里?嗯,去公园吧!我喜欢在公园散步。公园里有很多人。有一些人在跑步,有一些人在看书。公园里有很大的树,也有很漂亮的花。我很喜欢看花。今天公园里的人不多,很安静。我很开心,因为我可以好好地散步。我慢慢地走,看一看天空,看一看周围。我很放松。

Let’s take a moment to look at some of the useful words and phrases from that story.

  • 公园 (gōngyuán) — park, 我去公园。 (Wǒ qù gōngyuán.)
  • 散步 (sànbù) — to take a walk, 我喜欢散步。 (Wǒ xǐhuan sànbù.)
  • 天气 (tiānqì) — weather, 今天天气很好。 (Jīntiān tiānqì hěn hǎo.)
  • 看 (kàn) — to look, to see, 我喜欢看花。 (Wǒ xǐhuan kàn huā.)
  • 树 (shù) — tree, 公园里有树。 (Gōngyuán lǐ yǒu shù.)
  • 花 (huā) — flower, 我看到很多花。 (Wǒ kàndào hěn duō huā.), 现在,我们回到故事里吧!

我继续往前走。公园的中间有一个湖。湖边有很多人在钓鱼。钓鱼在中国公园里是很常见的活动。我喜欢看他们安静地坐着。湖水很干净,能看到小鱼。再往前走,我看到一个老爷爷在打太极拳。他的动作很慢,很漂亮。我也看到一些小孩在玩。他们跑来跑去,很开心。我找了一个椅子坐下来。我拿出我的书,开始看。这里的空气很新鲜。我在这里待了一个小时。今天在公园散步,看书,我很喜欢。这是一个美好的一天。

好,现在让我们来练习一些句子。

  • 今天天气很好。 — Today the weather is very good.
  • 我想去公园。 — I want to go to the park.
  • 我喜欢在公园散步。 — I like to take a walk in the park.
  • 公园里有很多人。 — There are many people in the park.
