Work in Pairs

Thursday they work in pairs. Lin Hao is with Chen Yu again. The task is to ask and answer about last summer. Where did you go? What did you do there?

星期四他们两人一组。 林浩又和陈宇一组。 任务是问答：去年夏天去了哪里。 你去了哪儿？在那儿做了些什么？

Chen Yu went to the mountains with his family. They walked a lot and watched a show in a small town. Lin Hao stayed in the city, but he visited a museum and learned about clay soldiers from a very old army. Both trips are interesting, just different.

陈宇和家人去了山里。 他们走了很多路，还在小镇上看了一场演出。 林浩留在城里，可他去了博物馆，了解到一支很古老的军队的陶土士兵。 两次出行都有意思，只是不一样。

They take turns. "It's your turn," Chen Yu says, and Lin Hao answers in full sentences, not only yes or no. Then they change: Lin Hao asks, Chen Yu answers. Two voices make practice more fun than one silent desk.

他们轮流说。 陈宇说：“轮到你了。”林浩用完整句子回答，不只说 yes 或 no。 然后他们换过来：林浩问，陈宇答。 两个人的声音，比一张安静的桌子有意思。

The teacher walks around and listens to a few pairs. She does not stop them for every small mistake. "Keep going," she says. "Change again if you have time." Class English is for using, not only for tests.

老师走来走去，听了几组。 她没有因为每一个小错就打断。 她说：“继续。有时间再换一轮。” 课堂英语是拿来用的，不只是为了考试。
