TRANSCRIPT

My Big Brother’s Family
My big brother is 46 years old, he works in a hospital, is a doctor, his wife is also a doctor. They have two kids, the son is 10 years old, his height is very tall, and very handsome. His daughter is 14 years old, her hair is very long, and she is very pretty. Two kids’ bodies are both very healthy. The big sister like reading books more than the little brother, the little brother likes sports more than the big sister.
I think my big brother’s families are very happy.
My big brother’s work is very busy, he looks at sicknesses for the patients every Saturday too. Many people don’t work on Saturdays, and have time to diagnose sickness , so he is the busiest every Saturday. I work in a taxi company, not as busy as him, also not as tired as him. Every day I have time to do sports, read books and learn Chinese.
My big brother needs to go to the hospital every Saturday, he’s not at home, because his house is not far, so every Saturday morning I go to his house to give Chinese class to the two kids, and do sports together with them in the afternoon.
Now they understand the meanings of a lot of Chinese new words, and also can write some Chinese characters. I hope they can learn and know how to use a computer to type, because typing is faster than writing.

我哥哥一家
我哥哥今年四十六岁，他在一家医院工作，他的妻子也是医生。
他们有两个孩子，儿子十岁了，他的个子很高，也很帅。
他女儿十四岁了，头发很长，也很漂亮。
两个孩子的身体都很健康。
姐姐比弟弟爱看书，弟弟比姐姐喜欢运动。
我觉得我哥哥一家很快乐。
我哥哥的工作非常忙，他每个星期六也要给病人看病。
很多人星期六不上班，也有时间看病， 所以他每个星期六最忙。
我在出租车公司工作，我没有他忙， 也没有他累。
我每天有时间做英东，看书，和学汉语。
我哥哥每个星期六要到医院去上班，不在家。
因为他的家不远，每个星期六早上我去他的家给两个孩子上中文科，下去和一起做运动。
现在他们能懂很多中文生子的意思了，也会写一些汉字。
我希望他们能学会用电脑打字，因为打字比写字快。
