中文学校 by Erik Ma



I go to Chinese school every week on Sundays for 2 hours. I learn how to read, write, and speak in Chinese. We play games that help practice learning Chinese.
We have quizzes every week to see how well we studied. If someone passes the quiz, he/she will get a stamp. Stamps can also be earned by completing homework.
Whenever our class finishes a set of books, we count up our stamps to see who has the most. The person that has the most gets a prize. If the teacher sees someone make a lot of progress, the teacher will also give him/her a prize.
Every year, the whole school has a Chinese New Year festival that is opened to the public at Capital High School. Every class has a performance like singing, dancing, jokes, skits, or storytelling. Raffle tickets are sold at the front desk to earn really cool prizes like a 27 inch flat screen TV!
We have barbeques every year at a park in Olympia. Everyone brings stuff to share. There are usually hotdogs, juice, salads, and lots of fruits.
We also have an end of the school year party every year. We have burgers and lots of other stuff to eat. After we eat, there are games to play. There are water balloon fights, limbo, and others also.
We sometimes have game days where kids go do activities to earn stamps from stations. After they get stamps, they can redeem them for prizes like bouncy balls, pencils, Frisbees and lots more.
I really like to go to Chinese school. Learning another language can be really useful when you travel to different places.


我每个星期日去中文学校学2 个小时的中文。我学读、 写和说中文。我们也玩帮助学习汉语的游戏。
我们每个星期有一个测试用来看看我们学得好不好。如果有人通过测试的话,他/她会得到一个图章。完成作业也是一种得图章的方法。
每当我们班完成一套书,我们会数每个人的图章,看谁的多。得图章最多的人会得一个奖品。如果老师看到有人有很大的进步,老师也会给他/她一个奖品。
每年,整个中文学校有一个在Capital High School 的春节晚会。每班都唱歌、 跳舞、 说笑话、演小品或讲故事的表演。前台还卖抽奖票。能得到很酷的奖品,像一个27英尺的平板电视!
我们每年在奥林匹亚的一个公园烧烤。每个人都带来跟大家分享的食物。平常有热狗、 果汁、 沙拉和很多的别的水果。
我们每年也有年底学校聚会。我们有汉堡和很多其它的东西。我们吃完后,就开始玩游戏。有水气球战斗、 limbo,和其它游戏。
我们有时会有游戏日。孩子们去做活动,并且在不同的站得图章。他们得到章后,可以赎回弹力球、 铅笔、 飞盘和很多别的奖品。
我很喜欢去中文学校。当你去不同的地方旅游的时候,学另一种语言有很大的用处。
