To just think that even fifteen years ago, cyber communication didn’t exist. It kind of blows your mind*1, no? It’s rare to run into people these days who don’t know how to navigate the internet and send emails and the like*2 but they do still exist and actually today’s dialogue is proof of that. 小明’s dad is having some computer issues but thankfully, 小明 is there to give him a helping hand. Let’s take a look at the dialogue and find out just exactly what’s going on.

Good buddy, 大家好, 欢迎收看成长汉语. Welcome back to another episode of Growing up with Chinese.
Now did the last show’s computer vocabulary settle into a more permanent spot in your heads? Technical vocabulary can be a bit tough to tackle just because it isn’t necessarily something you use everyday. However computers and the internet are certainly a big part of many people’s daily routines. So I’m glad we got a chance to cover some of the basics in Chinese.
Now today’s topic is a bit more light-hearted; we will be talking about music. But before we go any further, let’s check in with our fabulous trio and see just exactly what it is they’re up to.

There is a holiday atmosphere in the studio today. But not because it’s an actual holiday today while we are filming, but rather it’s a holiday in our story line with Mike, 小明 and 兰兰. So yes, they made it home without mishap*1 from their day spent at 后海. And I assume 兰兰 wasn’t too late for her 钢琴课 piano lesson. So what holiday are they celebrating today?

大家好, welcome back to another episode of Growing up with Chinese 成长汉语. Thanks for joining us. 欢迎大家.
Today we continue our series on 后海, one of 北京’s most popular hangouts. Now last time we saw some of the sites along Lotus Lane, and in 后海’s many 胡同s. Today we are hitting the water. That’s right, 小明, 兰兰 and Mike have decided to go boating, which is actually common pastime*1 all over China where there’re public lakes. I can remember going boating as a kid in 南京 on 玄武 Lake. The paddle boats there resembled swans, was a lot of fun. Now, I’m sure boats have changed a lot since I was a kid. So, let’s check in with our fabulous trio and see just what they’re up to.

By now though they should have been able to make their way there. So let’s check in with them and see if they really have arrived or not.

Shopping is still in our line up for today. And I have to say we’ll be seeing a lot of what we covered in our previous episode today, so it should be a good review.
