我的母亲/ My Mother

我的母亲叫Claire，今年五十六岁，来自英国。她一九五八年五月九日出生于新加坡。她在那里出生是因为她的父亲作为陆军军官在那里工作。虽然她在那里出生，但她不会说中文，因为她的家庭是英国家庭，他们说英语。她有个很大的家庭－父母，两个姐姐，一个哥哥，一个弟弟和她自己。

她个子不高，非常瘦，我长得像我母亲。她有一双绿色的眼睛和一头棕色的短发。她的工作是秘书，虽然她总是很忙，但她很喜欢她的工作。她在一个城堡工作！她做的是慈善工作，她已经在那里工作了四年。

我的母亲喜欢游泳，她每天在健身房游泳以保持健康。她还喜欢去度假，她即将同我的父亲去斯里兰卡和马尔代夫。他们很兴奋因为他们都喜欢炎热的天气。现在我们苏格兰的天气很寒冷。我不喜欢寒冷的天气。你喜不喜欢寒冷的天气？

My Mother

My mother is called Claire, she is 56, from England. My mother was born on the 7th of May 1958 in Singapore, but she has lived in the UK for almost 40 years. Even though she was born in Singapore, she can’t speak Chinese because her family are English and they have always spoken English. She was born in Singapore because her father worked in the Army. She has a large family – she has two elder sisters, one elder brother and one younger brother.

She is short and quite slim, and I look like her. She has green eyes and short brown hair. She is a secretary and she likes her job a lot, but she is often very busy. She works in a castle! She works for a charity and she has worked there for four years.

My mother likes swimming and she swims in the gym every day to stay healthy. She also likes to go on holiday and she is going with my father to go to Sri Lanka and the Maldives soon. They are very excited because they like hot weather. We have very cold weather in Scotland at the moment. Do you like cold weather?

你好, 我 叫 Neal

古汉语非常难！

今年我读大二，我的课程表上有三门课：中文，论语和中国历史
上个星期我参加了一个古汉语考试，需要翻译两篇文章。我发现，古汉语和现代汉语有很大区别。古汉语很难，不过我觉得自己考的还不错。

回国之后继续学习中文！

我今年夏天在美丽的台北过了暑假。我一共带了三个月的时间。在这三个月里面我的中文水平进步了好多。在一个天天需要说中文的环境中提高我的中文很顺利。回国之后这个情况就是完全不一样。在英国我必须用心去学习中文才能提高。如果大家有什么建议在自己国家继续提高外语水平请跟我分享！
