Learning Mandarin

  家长朋友们同学们，   下午好。第二次单元测试得试卷已经发还给孩子们， 我们重点讲解了容易出错的几个题目， 请孩子们课后将试卷上出错的地方改正。 之后我们学习了中文第七单元第 48 页的课文，并学习了 12 个汉字  ( 两、件、宝、双、脑、工、思、考、作、万、又、得） 的读音和含义，然后我们一起练习了这些汉字的书写， 并进行了组词练习。 本单元需要孩子们注意区别以下读音相同或相近得字：件  -  见  -  间；宝  -  包； 作  -  做；万  -  玩；又  -  右。 我们今天还学习了句型 “ 用手不用脑，工作做不好。（主语  +  动词  +  不  +  补语）。 ” 下节课将围绕这个句型做更多练习。 随着孩子们识字量的增加， 我鼓励孩子们使用学过的汉字更多地进行组词和造句练习。 我也鼓励孩子们每天能做朗读练习。   本次课后，请同学们完成以下练习： 1.  听录音，跟读中文课本第七单元第 48 至 51 页的课文、 生字和词语；背诵课文《人有两件宝》 2.  完成中文练习册 2A 第 43 页到第 55 页练习。 3.  改正第二次单元测试中出现的错误。   下节课我们会继续拼音和第七课的学习。   祝周末愉快 ，新年快乐 ！         Hi parents and students, Good afternoon!   The test papers have been returned to the students.  In class, we focused on reviewing and explaining the questions that were most often answered incorrectly.  Please remind your child to review the test and correct any mistakes they made after cl...

Hi parents and students,   In today’s class, we first spent 15 minutes quickly reviewing Chinese characters and Pinyin. Then, we used 45 minutes to complete the second unit test. All students followed the exam rules and worked hard to finish the test within the given time. The test results will be sent individually to parents by next Friday. The test paper and answers are attached to this email.   Since some students showed signs of forgetting parts of Pinyin, after the test, we reviewed all Pinyin initials, finals, syllables with fixed pronunciation rules, and blending rules. We also practiced them together. Later, we watched three short videos to learn how the Chinese characters 家 (home), 爱 (love), and 听 (listen) evolved from Oracle Bone Script to the characters we use today. The students showed great interest in the evolution of Chinese characters, and I will introduce more interesting character facts in future classes. For students who were absent today, please print the t...
