Week 4:

-去帮妈妈买菜吧/Let's Go Grocery Chopping:

记得小时候妈妈会请孩子帮忙跑个腿,买个蛋或是葱。我们会利用这周的时间带孩子们熟悉超市里常用到的一些用语及词汇,更重要的是能够认出并说出一些食材,零食及生活用品的中文。K-5 的孩子们会有机会参与模拟现实情境的采购练习,而6-8年级的孩子们会有机会以小组的形式到附近的中国超市练习采购。Remember you morhter would ask you to get some eggs or veggies from the deli store down the street when she was busy cooking? We are going to use this week to teach some basic yet crucial vocabulary and phrases that are commonly used in Chinese grocery stores. Moreover, we will teach them how to recognize verbally or visually what some ingredients, snacks and daily necessities are called/written in Chinese. K-5th graders will have a chance to participate in our "simulated grocery shopping prcatice" whereas the 6-8th graders will ahve a chance to go to a nearby Chiense grocery store in small groups for grocery shopping practice.

 

-跳蚤市场/Flea Market

交易购物是生活中不可或缺的一个技能,尤其是在中国的市场中,学习如何讨价还价已经成为一种风俗。但是如何以最合理的价格但又不失礼节地买到商品就另当别论了。

Shopping is a crucial part of our living in this age; especially when you are in a Market in China, learning how to bargain has become a custom. Yet how to bargain to the lowest price without being rude and over-aggresive is a different story.
