Hi, I’m Shaun.
-
Have you eaten rice dumplings today?
-
It’s Dragon-boat Festival.
-
Of course everyone should eat rice dumplings.
-
It’s Dragon-boat Festival.
-
I like it.
-
Why are you so happy?
-
Do you even know what Dragon-boat Festival is?
-
No, but I know it’s a public holiday.
-
I know most of you won’t know what people would do on Dragon-boat Festival.
-
So, today, I will show you the coolest Dragon-boat Festival.
-
First, you will need the following items,
-
an egg,
-
a sachet,
-
and some drums.
-
James, have you seen the eggs in the kitchen?
-
No, I didn’t see any eggs “in the kitchen.”
-
That’s because they are in my hand.
-
Kids, don’t forget to return the eggs to your Mom after Dragon-boat Festival.
-
The egg is for you to practice standing eggs.
-
On Dragon-boat Festival noon, it is said the Earth’s gravity is stronger than usual.
-
So people can stand an egg anywhere.
-
Like in the classroom.
-
Or in the kitchen.
-
But, please choose the egg properly.
-
If you don’t like to stand an egg, you can wear a sachet.
-
Although in Chinese, sachet means
-
it actually brings a bad smell.
-
The ancient people would use the bad smell to prevent bad bugs.
-
Finally, the dragon boat race is the coolest activity in the festival.
-
However, the dragon boat is too big for kids to row.
-
So, what the kids can do is beating the drums or cheerleading.
-
Now, if you don’t have any drums, you can use this.
-
Hey, Grandpa. I’m going to watch the dragon boat races.
-
Do you have any drums?
-
I want to make some noise.
-
Drums?
-
No, but you can take this.
-
Here you are.
-
OK, kids. If you really want to learn how to beat drums,
-
you should attend a dragon boat race yourself.
-
Now, let’s review the words together.
