Learn Chinese – Mandarin – How to say ” I am sad that my winter break is over” in Chinese: 寒假结束了我很难过。Han2 jia4 jie2 shu4 le5 wo3 hen3 nan2 guo4. Han2 jia4 (寒假 han2 originally is an adjective which means cold, and jia4 is a noun means holiday or break; so together han2 jia4 means winter break, for winter is very cold in China) jie2 shu4 (结束 a verb phrase means end, over) le5 (了 a particle show the change of status- from the break is not over to the break is over) wo3 (我 pronoun, I) hen3 (很adverb, very, really) nan2 guo4 (难过 an adjective phrase means sad).

Are you ready for our new semester （新学期 xin1 xue2 qi2)? Ready or not, you have to come 🙂 Better come with a smile as you usually did!! And be prepared to be asked about :What you did in your winter break 你寒假做了什么事 ni3 han2 jia4 zuo4 le5 shen2 me5 shi4? Of course, you need to answer it with Chinese! Yong4 zhong1 wen2 hui2 da2 用中文回答 (answer it with Chinese). For example, if you went for a vacation somewhere, then you can say:

I went to Tibet for a vacation.
Wo3 qu4 xi1 zang4 du4 jia4.
我去西藏渡假。

Good, that will be the topic sentence. So, next, you need to provide some details about what fun things you did there, what good scenery you saw and everything you can express with your current Chinese language skill. Let’s say how about 10 sentences?

If you happened to watch an excellent movie during the winter break, you might want to talk about it. Tell us what the thrill (jing1 xian3 ci4 ji1 惊险刺激）that movie delivered, what kind of exciting adventure （冒险 mao4 xian3) the actors (nan2 yan3 yuan2 男演员) and actresses (nv3 yan3 yuan2 女演员）went through, and maybe any junk food （垃圾食品 le4 se4 shi2 pin3) you ate in the theater?

Maybe you can talk about new year’s resolution (jue2 xin1 决心). I have a post about that; if you want to talk about it, maybe it would be a good idea for you to take a look (kan4 yi2 kan4 看一看）? Remember I mentioned before that when we said

Verb + yi2 (一）+ verb

It usually means doing something for a short moment of time. Like wo3 neng2 bu4 neng2 yong4 yi2 yong4 ni3 de5 dian4 hua4.我能不能用一用你的电话？ Can I borrow your phone for a moment?

I hope you enjoy today’s before school assignment a day or kind reminder a day?
