My Happy Childhood

My Happy Childhood muTu Note - Learn Chinese in 5 Minutes

I grew up in a small village. I am the second child in my family. I have an elder sister. She is two years older than me.

我是在一个小村子里长大的。我在家中排行第二，我还有一个姐姐，她比我大两岁。我们的房子就在小村的大街上，所以我常常看到街上人来人往。村里有农民、渔夫和一些商人。

我和姐姐总是和隔壁的孩子玩，他们的父亲是一位小学教师。有时候我们会在屋里玩，因为太吵闹，我的母亲就会让我们到屋外去玩。那时，我们就会到海边去捉螃蟹和蛤蜊，寻找美丽的贝壳。我们也喜欢在海滩上彼此追逐嬉戏。有风的时候，我们喜欢到海边放风筝。

回顾早年在乡村度过的生活，我觉得我度过了一个愉快的童年。

I grew up in a small village. I am the second child in my family. I have an elder sister. She is two years older than me. Our house is on the main street of the village, so I always saw a lot of people in the street. There were farmers, fishermen, and merchants in the village.

My sister and I used to play with the children next-door. Their father is an elementary school teacher. Sometimes, when we played together in the house, we made so much noise that my mother wanted us to play outside, so we went to the seashore to look for crabs and clams, and pretty seashells, too. Also, we enjoyed running on the beach chasing each other. On breezy days, we used to enjoy flying kites on the beach.

When I look back on my early life in the village, I feel I had a happy childhood.

The street was not too busy, yet it was lively.

街上不是很繁华，却也很有生气。

When we had guests, my sister and I are often reminded by mum to pay attention to our table manners.

有客人来的时候，妈妈总是提醒我和姐姐注意餐桌礼仪。
