English (for the teacher)

My little brother is six this year, and he's in primary school.

Today the teacher told the class, "When a friend is going out to play, you can say to them: 'Wán de kāixīn! Have fun!'"

When my brother got home, he couldn't wait to try it out.

At four, Dad has to go to the hospital to see a doctor. My brother says, "Dad, have fun!" Dad says, "The hospital isn't fun!"

At six, I'm going to see a film. My brother says, "Have fun, sis!" I say, "Thanks!"

At seven, Mum still has to go to the office to work. My brother says, "Mum, have fun!" Mum says, "I'm going to work, not to play... Oh, all right, thank you!"

At ten, everyone is home. My brother asks, "Did you all have fun today?"

I say, "I had lots of fun! The film was great!"

Mum says, "Today was busy. When I thought of you, I was happy."

Dad says, "The doctor says I'm fine, so I'm really happy!"

The next morning, my brother is off to school. Dad, Mum and I all say, "Have fun, little brother!"

My brother says, "I'm going to study, not to play... Oh, all right, thank you!"
