What is “Family”?
什么是“家庭”?
主题: 人与自我/家庭与爱 难度星级: ★★★☆☆ 用时: /7分钟 KEY→D9
Everybody has his own(自己的) family. What is family? I don’t think everyone really knows. There are six letters in the word “FAMILY”. I think “F” means “father”, “A” means “and”, “M” means “mother”, “I” means “I”, “L” means “love” and “Y” means “you”. So “FAMILY” is the short form(简写形式) of “Father and Mother, I love you”. Don’t you think so? Father and Mother love us, and we love our father and mother too. That’s a happy family.
