#1 <Chinese New Year is not here> Susie January 22nd, 2023 If you don’t smell firecrackers, Chinese New Year is not here. Hung up high at the end of a rod Hundreds of inch long red paper rolls Jumping off the string one after another With a flicker of a flame Chinese New Year is not here. If you don’t smell firecrackers, If you don’t smell new shoes from a box Chinese New Year is not here. Red leather shoes shine under The white tissue paper With a silver buckle And a silver bow tie Chinese New Year is not here If you don’t smell new shoes from a box If you don’t smell the flour paste Chinese New Year is not here A thin layer is good enough Carefully applied on the back of couplets Up, up, a little bit down Red couplets are just right for the white entrance door Chinese New year is not here. If you don’t smell the flour paste. If you don’t smell the buns freshly steamed Chinese New Year is not here As white as snow The steam is still rising like the smoke from a chimney Wait Let me put on the red dot on the tip top of each bun Chinese New Year is not here If you don’t smell the buns freshly steamed If you don’t smell roasted peanuts, or sunflower seeds, or watermelon seeds Chinese New Year is not here One plate of roasted peanuts with shell One plate of roasted sunflower seeds with shell One plate of roasted watermelon seeds with shell I would like a handful of each, if I could. Chinese New Year is not here If you don’t smell roasted peanuts, or sunflower seeds, or watermelon seeds If you don’t smell fried fish Chinese New Year is not here Hot, hot oil Sizzling, spattering Close the lid fast, simmer with Brown sugar and hot pepper Chinese New Year is not here If you don’t smell fried fish If you don’t smell vinegar and garlic pressed Chinese New Year is not here Chinese New Year eve’s dumplings Are not complete without them. One saucer for grandma, one saucer for mom And one saucer for me. Chinese New Year is not here If you don’t smell vinegar and garlic pressed If you don’t smell rice crackers Chinese New Year is not here Pearl white roasted rice grains adhered Together with syrup Best of all The tiny black sesame seeds in between Chinese New Year is not here If you don’t smell rice crackers If you don’t smell the ink of bills brand new Chinese New Year is not here Carefully search under the pillow Aha A red lucky envelope $100 dollars in all! Chinese New Year is not here If you don’t smell the ink of bills brand new If you don’t smell the burning incense Chinese New Year is not here The blue smoke from the burning incense Goes up and up Will it bring my message to my grandma? I wonder Chinese New Year is not here If you don’t smell the burning incense If you have not smelled any of these, You don’t know me, You Just can’t know ME. You see, My hair is short mixed black with gray My eyes filled with curiosity My skin’s yellow or brown My lips pink and wet I have lain on a pillow with a red lucky envelope under I have had three pockets full of roasted peanuts, sunflower seeds and watermelon seeds I have fired firecrackers and run away as fast as fast could be I have stared at the blue smoke from a burning incense My home is far, far away And by now, you sure have found the place I am from. #2 <Unforgettable> By Susie Jan 30th, 2023 To friends from Tianjin University Who have taught me the secrets of living, laughing and loving I can’t forget The cold tap water on my hands on a gloomy windy winter morning All the taps are busy in the waterhouse, Please let me squeeze in.

I can’t forget The silence in the library Sun shines through the window on a spotless brown desk I study math, you study chemistry It doesn’t matter what it is, I like to study When I am studying with you I can’t forget The rhythm of our diligent professor’s voice High pitch or low Talk Fast or slow I am sorry if I don’t understand your words, Professor!

Quick facts:
HistoryI was adopted by Susie’s family in Aug 2020. Before that, I was a stray dog. I got myself into fights multiple times, please see the scar on my face (A medal of a brave stray dog) PersonalityI love people, young and old, please pat me and scratch my back, neck and belly. I can’t have enough of that. Of course you will get lots of fur on your pants, but please don’t blame me. I can’t help it. I am looking at you all the time with my big brown eyes, and I know your feelings. When you are sad and happy, please talk to me. I do understand. When I am hungry, I will sit up straight and look at you. I won’t run and grab the food without my owner’s order. When my owner eats, I will patiently by the door, I know my turn will come and my owner never forgets me. I bark at strangers very loudly in the beginning even though I am scared, I know it’s my job to warn my master. And I quiet down right away as soon as my master tells me to stop. I love to catch birds, squirrels and sometimes cats. It makes me excited just thinking about the fun of chasing. I hate to be on leash, I wish I could run wild. I am an expert in digging holes, I know it’s not good for my master’s flowers in the yard. But I am a young dog, I have lots of energy, I just have to get my energy out. My favorite food is the brown rice and bone broth my master cooks for me. Sometimes I get a piece of pig’s ear for a reward. For the good food I get, I will be a good dog I promise. I care about my master. At night, I don’t go to bed until my master’s bedroom light turns off, and I will check both the basement door and front door before I go to bed. It’s my responsibility to keep my master safe. I know my job very well! CohabitationI like my private space, when my owner is busy. I am quite happy doing my own things like napping and grooming I keep my house clean, I won’t use my yard as my washroom if I get walked once a day. And I am usually very good at holding myself because I know my owner gets angry at me if I make an accident in the house. I am the most independent dog around. Favorite ActivitiesI like playing catch, even though I am not good at it. My favorite part is running. I am a born racer. Please put me into a racing competition. You won’t be disappointed! #5 On a summer afternoon Written and read by Susie Tall and short, Cylinder, cube, and rectangular prism shaped buildings March like a basketball team. Scorching July sun floods into the yard, Brown cone roof and onion dome melt like the chocolate icing on a cupcake You’d better look away from the glare on the white walls and blue gate Dry dirt cracks like chapped lips in the winter months Purple peony, red rose, blue Iris, and white daisy Are busy having a meeting Black-stripped yellow bees and orange black-eyed butterflies Are their tireless simultaneous interpreters. Looking into the shining-clean windows of the building Cool, dark and strangely quiet Children are having a nap and dreaming of dancing in <Swan Lake>, singing a new song, practicing a rollerblade trick, solving math competition questions, and what will be painted in the new picture. 夏日午后 作者和朗读者：Susie 或高或矮， 圆柱形，正方体，长方体的建筑物 站在一起象一个篮球队 炽热的七月阳光洒满庭院 棕色的圆锥屋顶和洋葱形屋顶就像要融化的蛋糕上的巧克力糖霜 白色的墙和蓝色栅栏门上的反光是如此强， 你最好不要看。 庭院内干裂的土地就像冬日里皲裂的嘴唇。 紫色牡丹，红色玫瑰， 蓝色鸢尾花，和白色雏菊 正忙着开会 长着黑条纹的黄色蜜蜂和橘黄色黑眼睛的蝴蝶 正是他们不知疲倦的同声翻译。 从光亮洁净的窗户向内看 凉爽，灰暗且异常安静 孩子们正在午休，他们梦到了： 在跳“天鹅湖”； 在唱一首新歌； 在练习轮滑新动作； 在解答数学竞赛题； 和画什么在新图画里。 #6 Rabbit and Radish (兔子和萝卜） Written and read by Susie （作者/朗读者：Susie) The rabbit lives on a ranch 兔子住在农场 The rabbit runs on a mountain ridge 兔子跑在山岗 The rabbit races to the red ripe radish 兔子奔向熟透的红萝卜 The rabbit rips roots off the red ripe radish 兔子剔除萝卜的根 The rabbit rinses the red ripe radish in a river 兔子在河里洗萝卜 The rabbit reads a recipe 兔子看菜谱 The rabbit slices the red ripe radish into round pieces 兔子将红萝卜切成圆片 The rabbit rubs the round red ripe radish pieces with butter and rosemary 兔子往萝卜片上抹黄油和香料 The rabbit lays the round red ripe radish pieces on a rack in a roaster oven 兔子将萝卜片放在烤箱的架子上 The rabbit brings the roasted radish to visit the racoon 兔子带烤好的萝卜片去看浣熊 The rabbit rides his bike to the racoon’s house 兔子骑自行车去浣熊家 The racoon rollerblades in front of his house 浣熊在他家门前溜冰 The rabbit and the racoon tramp into the living room that is at the rear of the house 兔子和浣熊走到浣熊房子后面的起居室 The rabbit and the racoon sit in the rocking chairs 兔子和浣熊坐在摇椅上 The rabbit and the racoon listen to Rock 'n Roll 兔子和浣熊听摇滚乐 The rabbit and the racoon drink Red Bull兔子和浣熊喝红牛饮料 The rabbit and the racoon nip the roasted round red ripe radish pieces as an afternoon refreshment 兔子和浣熊吃烤萝卜片做点心 The rabbit and the racoon relax. 兔子和浣熊放松 How many “R” words do you see? 你看到多少个以 R开头的单词？ #7 Artur’s Sailing Car by Susie Almost every boy, at one time or another, had dreamed of having a car of his own. Artur was one of them. He lived in a city called Canagary a long time ago. His parents bought him all kinds of toy cars when he was little. As time went by, he wanted to build his own sailing car, a car that used wind to move. At first, he tried to make a car out of his Lego collection. He completed his Lego car in no time. The car had red doors and black rubber wheels, it even had a driver with blond hair who looked like Artur. But it could not move. In order for his car to move with wind–after all, it was a sailing car he was building–he knew his car had to be light. He decided to use cereal boxes to make his car’s wheels. He tried cutting the circles time after time until he got the perfect wheels that went round and round. A small apple juice box was turned into his car’s body. The sail was made out of a piece of paper, it was glued tightly onto the frame. The frame itself was carved from thin wood and was carefully painted white. It was time consuming, but Artur knew it was only a matter of time, plus this time his brother helped him at times. Before long Artur’s sailing car was sailing around in Artur’s living room. Where would you like to go with your sailing car? Artur. How many time expressions did you see? 阿图尔的帆船车 作者： Susie 翻译： Google translate 几乎每个男孩都曾一度梦想拥有一辆属于自己的汽车。 阿图尔就是其中之一。 很久以前，他住在一个叫卡纳加里的城市。 在他小的时候，他的父母给他买了各种玩具车。 随着时间的推移，他想制造自己的帆船，一种利用风力移动的汽车。 起初，他试图用他的乐高积木系列制作一辆汽车。 他很快就完成了他的乐高汽车。 这辆车有红色的车门和黑色的橡胶轮，甚至还有一个看起来像阿图尔的金发司机。 但是它不能动。 为了让他的车能随风行驶——毕竟，这是他正在制造的帆船——他知道他的车必须很轻。 他决定用麦片盒来制作他的汽车轮子。 他一次又一次地尝试切割圆圈，直到他得到完美的圆圈。 一个小苹果汁盒变成了他的汽车车身。 帆是用一张纸做的，紧紧地粘在框架上。 框架本身是用薄木雕刻而成，并仔细地涂成白色。 这很费时间，但 Artur 知道这只是时间问题，而且这次他的兄弟有时会帮助他。 没过多久，阿图尔的帆船就在阿图尔的客厅里兜风了。 你想开着你的帆船去哪里？ 阿图尔。 英文原文里用了八个关于时间的短语， 你找到几个？ #8 White bear, white bear, what do you see?

Eating candies while standing among zombies. Now that bags are full, good till next October. You wonder. Written by Susie–English Tutor 403-217-7609 |
