Vocabulary Game
Today, our Chinese class held one “time” (of) vocabulary game, as-long-as (they) are (a) student (of the) class, “then” (they) can participate-in. Altogether (there) existed ten “ge” (of) students (that) decided to participate-in.
(The) game is (something that is of) this-nature, every “ge” (of) student participating all have one “ge” (of) number, from No.1 to No.10, (the) number I got was No.8. (The) teacher in his computer-inside made several hundreds “zhang” (of) vocabulary-card, (the) words (on the) card-surface all are (ones that) we (have) learned.(In the) time (that is) after (the) game started, (the) teacher “then” in (the) computer-surface chose one “zhang” (of) card, starting from student No.1, every “ge” (of) person all must need-to read-out (the) word, after-that use this “ge” (of) word to say one “ge” (of) sentence. Only-with-the-condition(-that) (the students) read-correct (the) word (and) also say-correct (the) sentence at-the-same-time, “then” (the students) have (the) chance to read the-next one “zhang” (of) vocabulary-card. If (someone) reads-wrong, or (the) word’s usage (is) not correct, “then” (they) cannot again participate (the) competition, (they) only can watch other classmates participating, this “zhang” (of) vocabulary-card also will (be) given-to the next “wei” (of) classmate.
About 10 minutes went-pass, I found-out, (the ones that) are still participating (the) game (-) (there) only existed me and other one “ming” (of) girl-student Little Gao, I “reached the evaluation of” “a little bit” happy, (and) thought (that the) words (that my)self knew were really a-lot. (At) this moment, (the) teacher again gave me to see one “zhang” (of) new word-card, (the) surface existed two “ge” (of) Chinese-characters, but I only recognize the first one, (it) was “kong(/air)”, (but) “kong(/air)” what? This “ge” (of) new-word (-) we certainly (have) learned, but the second “ge” (of) character (-) I really (did) not remember. (In) the-end, (the) time arrived(/was up), I (did) not read-out this “ge” (of) word. (It) should (be) Little Gao, she looked-at (it) “really quick”, (and) “immediately” read-out “kongtiao(/airconditioner)” (which were these) two “ge” (of) characters, after-that (she) again used “kongtiao” to say one “ge” (of) sentence. So, the No.1-place (of) this “time” (of) game was Little Gao.
My heart-inside thought, “Little Gao studies really good! I too need-to go-for-it, only-with-the-condition(-that) (I be) more hardworking, ‘then’ (I) can (-) ‘ba’{indicating the handling of} (my)self’s Chinese-language level (-) lift higher.”
